There isn’t any way to manually update the firmware of the earbuds, and the new software will be installed over the air while the AirPods Pro 2 are connected via Bluetooth to an iOS device.
If you place the AirPods Pro 2 in their case, connect them to a power source, and then pair them to an iPhone or iPad, they should update after a short period of time.
