Apple is set to release the new AirPods Max 2 tomorrow at a promotional price of $529, reduced from $549. Alongside this launch, the company has issued a new firmware update, version 8E251, specifically for these headphones. This update will be available for users to install after setting up their new devices.
Last week, Apple also released firmware for several other AirPods models, including the AirPods Pro 3, Pro 2, and AirPods 4, with that version being 8B39. Although initially believed that the same firmware might apply to the AirPods Max 2 due to shared technology, it has been confirmed that a distinct update has been prepared for the Max.
Details regarding the changes or improvements in the new firmware for AirPods Max 2 remain unclear, as Apple has not yet provided official release notes. Users can expect the update to install automatically in the background upon setup.
