Apple has released a new firmware update for the AirPods Pro, from the previous version 2D15 to the new firmware, 2D27, the fourth update to the AirPods Pro firmware.

We are not clear what changes or features are included in the firmware update, however, it was revealed at Apple's WWDC Keynote yesterday that a new spatial audio feature is coming to the ‌AirPods Pro‌ in iOS 14, so perhaps the firmware introduces that new feature. Apple says that spatial audio provides simulated surround experience through the earbuds, using advanced motion tracking and device location technique. Spatial audio will activate automatically when you watch content with Dolby 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound audio tracks.

The new update should be automatically installed as long as they stay connected to an iPhone or iPad, and in the charging case.

AirPods Pro users can check the firmware version their headphones are running by heading to Settings and tapping on General, About, and AirPods Pro, look at the number next to "Firmware Version."

There is no new firmware update available at the moment for users with standard AirPods.
