Pairing AirPods: How to make the connection

In order to enjoy an exciting audiobook or your favorite music with your AirPods, you need to make the right connection. For this, it is necessary that you pair the in-ear headphones with your iPhone. We'll tell you how in this article.

How to pair your AirPods properly

Not only for pairing with your smartphone, but also for PC, you can use the following guide.

1. You need to put both AirPods into the charging case and make sure the in-ear headphones have at least 10 percent battery. Then open the lid.
2. Start the device you want to connect your AirPods to and set the Bluetooth settings.
3. See if Bluetooth is successfully activated and check the battery level of your AirPods.
4. Once the requirements are met, you need to press and hold the setup button on the case. This can be found in the center of the back of the case.
5. Hold the button until the status indicator lights up white.
6. Now on the device, select the AirPods in the device list and click "Connect".
7. Spielen Sie ein Lied oder ein Hörbuch ab und überprüfen Sie, ob die Wiedergabe durch die AirPods erfolgt.

AirPods nur mit Apple kompatibel?

Obwohl der volle Komfort nur mit Apple-Produkten erlangt werden kann, können Sie die AirPods auch mit anderen Marken verwenden. Siri steht Ihnen zwar dann nicht zur Verfügung, die Musikwiedergabe und das Telefonieren sind aber möglich.
