Apple on Tuesday released new firmware for the Powerbeats Pro 2 earbuds that the company released earlier this year. The new firmware carries a version number of 7B30, replacing the 7B24 firmware that Apple seeded following the Powerbeats Pro 2 release.
While we don’t know what updates or fixes are included in the firmware update, although it could be related to the heart monitoring feature via optical LED sensors the earbuds have.
Other Powerbeats Pro 2 features include Personalized Spatial Audio, Active Noise Cancellation, Apple’s H2 chip for connectivity, and a redesigned acoustic architecture that allows for better sound.
There is no way to manually force an update for the Beats firmware, it is usually installed over-the-air when the earbuds are connected to an iOS device. If you put your Beats Studio Buds in the case, connect them to a power source and pair them to an iPhone or iPad will likely cause an update to occur after a short while.
Android users can update their Beats firmware using the Beats app for that platform.
