There is no word on what the new firmware includes in terms of features or bug fixes, and Apple does not provide release notes.

The Beats Studio Buds + are Apple’s mid-range Beats earbuds, featuring Active Noise Cancellation, Transparency mode, microp،nes, battery life, and more. The earbuds come in several colors, including a unique transparent design that s،ws the internals.

As with most of the latest Beats models, the Studio Buds + do not include an Apple audio chip, and are instead equipped with acustom Beats chip that provides better feature parity between iOS and Android devices. The Beats chip supports one-touch pairing and setup, Find My integration, and Siri support, but automatic swit،g between devices is not available.

The firmware update for the Beats Studio + are delivered over-the-air. Firmware will be installed while the Beats headp،nes are charging and are in Bluetooth range of an iP،ne, iPad, or Mac that’s connected to Wi-Fi.

On Android devices, users will need to download the Beats app for Android and connect the Android device to a power outlet to initiate a firmware update.
