Apple has rolled out a fresh developer beta firmware update for AirPods Pro 2 and AirPods 4, but the specifics of what’s included in this release remain under wraps for now.
Thursday’s developer beta increases the build number to 7E5080a, up from the previous 7E5067b update, released in January 2025. This beta software release is available for AirPods 4 and AirPods Pro 2, both the USB-C and Lightning models. The software won’t be released for AirPods Max or other non-H2 devices.
Though the exact contents of Thursday’s developer beta are unclear, the software likely includes bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements rather than new features. Apple has not provided any release notes for this beta software update.
MacDailyNews Take: To get the AirPods beta firmware installed, you’ll need a free, registered developer account. Then, here’s what to do:
Make sure Developer Mode is turned on by heading to Settings > Privacy & Security > Developer Mode.
If it’s already active—or after you’ve switched it on—navigate to Settings > Developer.
Scroll near the bottom and tap Pre-Release Beta Firmware under AirPods Testing.
Pick the AirPods you want to sign up for the beta.
