Agree to the legal consent forms and your AirPods are ready to receive the software. Downloading the software is given with a lot of warnings on how to navigate through the process. Unauthorized downloading of the Beta version can leave Airpods unusable which thereafter is cannot be fixed under the terms of your warranty. Make sure you go through the terms and agreements carefully before you initiate this process.
AppleInsider, and Apple itself, strongly recommend users don’t install the betas on to “mission-critical” or primary devices, as there is the remote possibility of data loss or other issues. Instead, testers should install betas onto secondary or non-essential devices, and to make sure there are sufficient backups of important data before updating.
