  • Patent number: 11726761
    Abstract: Systems and methods of updating firmware in a pair of wireless earbuds including at least a first earbud and a second earbud, may include wirelessly receiving at the first earbud a firmware update transmitted by a computing device; upgrading the first earbud, using the firmware update, during a first upgrade time interval; wirelessly receiving at the second earbud the firmware update; and upgrading the second earbud, using the firmware update, during a second upgrade time interval; wherein the first upgrade time interval and the second upgrade time interval at least partially overlap, resulting in a total firmware upgrade time interval for upgrading the first and the second earbuds being shorter than a sum of the first upgrade time interval and the second upgrade time interval.
