Apple has released a firmware update (3A130) for the Beats Solo Buds, marking the first update since their launch.
While Apple hasn't provided release notes, it's unclear if the update introduces new features. A previous update for Beats Studio Pro added multi-user audio sharing. Unlike AirPods, there's no manual update process on iOS; updates occur automatically near a connected iPhone or iPad. Android users can update via the Beats app.
The Beats Solo Buds offer a budget-friendly alternative to AirPods, boasting 18 hours of battery life and iOS/Android compatibility. Though lacking features like Active Noise Cancellation and Transparency Mode, they provide a compelling value.
