AirPods Firmware downgrade

Hey there,

I’m using my AirPods Pro 2 for over 1 year now. I loved them and everything was working great. My AirPods are on the newest firmware version (7A305). My problem is that all the things I loved aren’t working anymore, like they used to do. The noice cancelling has gotten worse, sometimes it’s not working at all, it’s full of bugs, the head tracking isn’t working like it used to work, and it has all kinds of connection problems with my iPhone 12 and iPad 9th generation. Is there any way of downgrading the firmware of my AirPods or stopping the automatic update function?

I already tried everything, like resetting the AirPods, restarting my iPhone and unpairing the AirPods from my AppleID and repairing them.

This is exactly what happened with my AirPods Pro 2 with the latest firmware (7B19) on my iPhone 12 Pro. Some of the bugs include:

1. The Find My feature is unavailable (with the reason given that my AirPods case is not compatible).

2. My left AirPod stays in noise cancellation mode, while the right one works normally.

I hope these bugs can be fixed soon, as they are really disrupting my comfort. The problem is that these AirPods cannot be downgraded or have the auto-update disabled. So, I am hoping Apple will fix this in the next firmware update.
