To pair your AirPods with any other device or an older Mac, you just need to find the easy pairing button on the AirPods charging case. Look at the back of the AirPods case. See the matte silver circle near the bottom, just above the Lightning port? It's the "set up button" you need to pair the AirPod with other devices, used when the W1 can't automatically pair with other devices.
To put the AirPod in pairing mode, here's what the user needs to do:
While the white light is flashing, the AirPods will "be detectable". In other words, they'll appear as peripherals so that they can be paired from Bluetooth settings, just like any other Bluetooth headset or speaker.
Here are details on how to connect Airpods to Bluetooth devices
1. How to connect Airpods to a Windows laptop
Make sure your AirPods are fully charged and put in the charging case. On a Windows 10 computer, go to Settings.
- Then, click on Devices. On the Device preferences window, make sure Bluetooth is turned on (the switch should be slide to the right and be blue).
- Click to select Add Bluetooth or other device (Add Bluetooth or other divice).
Open the case of the AirPods case and press and hold the small button on the back of the case for a few seconds, until the status light on the front of the case starts flashing white.
- On your laptop will appear in the list of available devices to pair (first they can appear under the name Headphones, then change to AirPods after a moment). Click on the AirPods to connect.
Windows will connect to the AirPods and display a successful message. After completing Bluetooth setup, tap Done and close the Settings window.
2. How to connect Airpods to Mac OS
If installed on the AirPods using the same iCloud account as the one on the MacBook, then it will be easy to connect the two devices together.
Then just put your AirPods in your ear and click the Bluetooth mark on the menu bar on your Mac, and select your AirPods name from the list of connections.
If you can't find the AirPods in that menu, follow the steps here:
Tap the volume icon on your Mac's menu bar and choose AirPod in the list of available devices, or go to Apple menu> System Preferences> Sound and select AirPods.
- Double check whether the Bluetooth on the device is really on or not. Then put both the AirPods in the charging case and open the lid. Press and hold the Install button on the back of the case until the indicator light turns white.

To connect the AirPods to the PS4, you must have an auxiliary device that is Bluetooth Play Dongle for PS4. The accessory is extremely cheap and allows you to connect your AirPods 2 or AirPods Pro to a PlayStation 4 console.

In addition to selecting the AirPods from the settings screen, there are two quick ways to set up the audio output for any headset or HomePod. On the Home screen, press and hold the play / pause button on the remote control. This will bring you to a screen where you can quickly select the output device.
However, if you're watching something, you can also hold the Play / Pause button on your Remote Apple TV, swipe right to select the Sound tab, then choose either AirPods or HomePod.
