Apple Releases AirPods 9A304b Beta Firmware, Improving Noise Cancellation as Update Process Still Lacks Manual Controls
1 articles · Updated · Geeky Gadgets · Jul 1
Summary
9A304b beta firmware for AirPods adds stronger connectivity, refined noise cancellation and bug fixes, including a volume-adjustment issue and Dolby Atmos head-tracking tweaks.
iOS 27 beta 2 and macOS 27 beta 2 support the release, which applies to AirPods Pro 2, AirPods Pro 3, AirPods 4 and AirPods Max 2.
Apple still requires users to enable AirPods beta updates and wait for installation to start automatically, with no manual “update now” option and uneven timing.
Core audio quality, equalizer options and any battery-life gains remain unchanged or unconfirmed, leaving the update focused on reliability rather than a broader feature overhaul.
