We don't know what's included in the new firmware, and Apple does not typically provide information about Beats firmware updates.

Apple introduced the Beats Pill earlier this year after discontinuing the prior Beats Pill+ back in 2022. The new model is priced at $150 and it features an all-new speaker system, a removable lanyard, USB-C and Bluetooth connectivity, IP67 water resistance, and a 24-hour battery life.

The Beats Pill is designed to work seamlessly with both Android and Apple devices, and it supports both Find My and ‌Find My‌ Device for tracking purposes.

Firmware updates for the Beats Pill are delivered over-the-air. Firmware will be installed while the Beats Pill is charging and in Bluetooth range of an ‌iPhone‌, iPad, or Mac that's connected to Wi-Fi. On Android devices, users need to download the Beats app for Android and connect the Android device to a power outlet to initiate a firmware update.

Probably connectivity issues. I have two of these, and one had a connection that goes in and out at times and you can only resolve it by turning it off and back on. Hopefully this fixes that.
