• So how do you patch that?

    Spotted the other day that Apple ear buds need a firmware update.  On June 25, Apple released a firmware update for “AirPods (2nd generation and later), AirPods Pro (all models), AirPods Max, Powerbeats Pro, and Beats Fit Pro”. The vulnerability is that an attacker in Bluetooth range might be able to spoof the intended source device and gain access to your headphones.

    If you want to check what version you are on, go into Bluetooth, find the airpods and check the version.

    Once you connect your airpods to your phone or ipad (or computer) they will automatically update in the background. (This is pre update). Now comes the fun part. What version of Airpods do I have?

    I personally find that Airpods connect flawlessly for about two to two and half years and then one of the ear phones starts to have issues either with connecting or with the sound.

    Recently I updated to a new LG tv and found that we could connect two bluetooth devices to the TV via the accessibility section. With the airbuds connected, then my Dad can have a slightly louder volume setting and I can have lower volume.

    Do you find that yours only last about two years?
