Apple has released the third beta of AirPods firmware version 6, which provides Adaptive Audio, to developers.

The latest update is AirPods firmware 6.0 beta 3. It has a build of 6A289c, up from 6A5262d.

Apple doesn’t generally provide release notes for AirPods firmware betas. So we don’t know of anything new in this release beyond general fixes and tweaks to the new features.
