Update Beats
For the best experience, keep your Beats up to date with the latest firmware. As new features and improvements are rolled out, firmware updates are delivered automatically (over the air) on Apple devices. On Android devices, updates are made available in the Beats app.
When a new firmware version is available, you can also manually update your Beats.
You can check your Beats firmware version on your iPhone, iPad, Mac or Android device.
