Apple today released the first firmware update for its Beats Solo Buds, marking the first time the earbuds have received an update since their release back in June 2024. The firmware carries a build number of 3A130, up from the 3A112 firmware the earbuds shipped with.
Apple typically does not publish information about what’s included in Beats firmware updates, so we don’t know what’s included in the new firmware.
The $80 Beats Solo Buds are Apple’s smallest and most affordable Beats earbuds and offer a custom-built acoustic architecture and ergonomic design, although they do lack active noise cancellation.
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 Solo Buds in the case and 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.
