Apple has made new beta firmware for the AirPods 4, AirPods Pro 2, AirPods Pro 3, and AirPods Max 2 available to public beta testers. The firmware has a build number of 9A5314b and is identical to last weeks developer beta firmware.
Apple is adding new AirPods features in iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27 Golden Gate, including a new AirPods interface and support for custom EQ.
Since iOS 26, iPadOS 26, and macOS Tahoe, Apple has added a beta firmware update installation option in the AirPods settings interface when there are AirPods connected to an iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Developers and public beta testers can use the beta option to turn on beta downloads.
As with any betas, this firmware should only be installed on AirPods set aside for testing purposes. Never install beta firmware on your daily driver earbuds.
