A a change log would be nice. After the anecdotes about a reduction of ANC capabilities due to a patent troll, I'm nervous as hell to plug my headphones into my laptop.

Are we 100% certain it was due to a patent troll, not quietly fixing a feature that could do damage to the ear?

You mean like the Amber alert?

Agreed, my beats solo pros always worked fine, until the final firmware update which was conveniently right before they were no longer supported. Upgrade with caution.

Yet another unrevokable firmware update for an expensive device with a change log of "trust me bro".

Why is this activity legal?

Yeah never patch unless it’s broken

Well if they release an update that improves the quality of something, that would be a reason to patch.

You don't get to choose, pairing the things with an iOS or mac device automatically updates it. Anyway, my old Airpods 2 set was already updated and is still working so maybe not that big a deal...

> Update: Apple has temporarily pulled the AirPods firmware update. It should be back in the next few days.
