Apple Releases Powerbeats Pro 2 Firmware Update 8A359

Apple has released a firmware update for the Powerbeats Pro 2, bringing the wireless earbuds to version 8A359. This release replaces the 8A353 firmware that rolled out back in September.



Apple doesn't typically provide detailed release notes for Beats firmware updates, so it remains unclear exactly what changes are included in today's release. It likely focuses on bug fixes and other under-the-hood improvements to maintain stability. The update installs automatically while the earbuds are in their case and connected to an iOS device, or via the Beats app for Android users.


The Powerbeats Pro 2 launched earlier this year with a refreshed design and new capabilities, including heart rate monitoring. Beats recently highlighted the earbuds' secure fit in a Kung Fu-inspired ad campaign featuring streamer IShowSpeed.

For those looking to pick up a pair, the Powerbeats Pro 2 are currently on sale for $199.95, down from their regular price of $249.99. You can track price history and set alerts for future drops via the iClarified Beats Price Tracker.
