Unlike the Software Update mechanism in most of Apple’s other devices, there’s no way to force your AirPods to install the latest firmware version. Instead, make sure the AirPods are in their charging case and connected to your iPhone, iPad or Mac. If there is an update, it should install in the background.
There are, however, several ways to check the current firmware version. On iOS or iPadOS, go to Settings > Bluetooth and tap the Info button to the right of the name. Or, when they’re actively connected (you’re listening through them or they’re in the charging case with the lid open and near the device), go to Settings and tap the entry that appears below your name.
On a Mac, open System Settings, select Bluetooth and click the Info button for your AirPods. Or, when the AirPods are actively connected, go to System Settings and look for them at the bottom of the sidebar near other accessories such as Keyboard and Mouse.
To check to see if you’re using the current firmware version, view Apple’s support page about AirPods firmware and check the list of Latest firmware versions.
