Apple's AirPods Pro 2 Get Major Firmware Update: Head Gestures, Voice Isolation, and More
Apple has rolled out a significant firmware update for AirPods Pro 2, bringing exciting new features and improvements to the popular wireless earbuds. This update, version 7A294, introduces head gestures, enhanced voice isolation, and expanded spatial audio capabilities, elevating the user experience for AirPods Pro 2 owners.
The AirPods Pro 2 showcase the innovative design and advanced audio features highlighted in the latest firmware update
Head Gestures: A New Way to Interact
One of the most notable additions is the introduction of head gestures. Users can now respond to Siri, accept or reject calls, and interact with notifications by simply nodding or shaking their head. This hands-free feature proves especially useful in situations where voice commands or touch controls are impractical.
Clearer Calls with Voice Isolation
The update also brings Voice Isolation to AirPods Pro 2. This feature is designed to reduce ambient noise during calls, effectively filtering out wind, traffic, and other background sounds to ensure clearer communication.
Enhanced Gaming Experience
Gamers will appreciate the expansion of Personalized Spatial Audio to include gaming experiences. This feature promises to create more immersive soundscapes in compatible games, though its effectiveness will depend on developer implementation.
Automatic Update Process
The firmware update is rolling out automatically to both USB-C and Lightning versions of AirPods Pro 2. Users don't need to manually trigger the update; it will install when the AirPods are in their charging case and connected to an iPhone.
Checking Your Firmware Version
To verify if your AirPods Pro 2 have received the update:
Open Settings on your iPhone
Navigate to Bluetooth
Tap the info button next to your AirPods' name
Scroll down to find the firmware version (7A294 is the latest)
This update demonstrates Apple's commitment to enhancing the AirPods Pro 2 experience, even as the company prepares for the rumored release of new audio products. With these improvements, AirPods Pro 2 users can enjoy a more intuitive and immersive audio experience across various use cases.
