Hi rameswara,

welcome to the Apple (user-to-user) Community.


Seems the firmware updates automatically when AirPods are connected to a device with the most recent software version.

Eg:  About iOS 16 Updates - Apple Support (says iOS 16.4.1 is the latest)


It can take some time for the update to complete using iPhone and iPad, yet can be quicker if using a Mac.


More info: About firmware updates for AirPods - Apple Support

Eg: says:

"If you don't have an Apple device nearby, you can set up an appointment at an Apple Store or with an Apple Authorized Service Provider to update your firmware".


All the best :-)
