Can I pair my AirPods to my Samsung TV?

Answered by Robert Flynn

You can pair your Apple AirPods to your Samsung TV. The AirPods use Bluetooth technology, which is supported by most smart TVs, including Samsung TVs. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to connect your AirPods to your Samsung TV:

1. Put your AirPods into pairing mode: To do this, open the lid of your AirPods case and press and hold the button on the back of the case until the LED light on the front starts flashing white. This indicates that your AirPods are in pairing mode.

2. Turn on your Samsung TV: Make sure your TV is turned on and that the Bluetooth feature is enabled. You can usually find the Bluetooth settings in the TV’s menu or settings.

3. Access the Bluetooth settings on your Samsung TV: Use your TV remote to navigate to the settings menu. Look for the Bluetooth option and select it.

4. Enable Bluetooth pairing mode on your Samsung TV: In the Bluetooth settings menu, you should see an option to enable pairing mode. Select this option to make your TV discoverable to other Bluetooth devices.

5. Connect your AirPods to your Samsung TV: On your Samsung TV, you should see a list of available devices. Look for your AirPods in the list and select them to initiate the pairing process. Your TV will attempt to connect to your AirPods.

6. Confirm the pairing on your AirPods: While your TV is trying to connect, your AirPods will display a pop-up on your connected iPhone or iPad (if you have one). Tap the “Connect” button to confirm the pairing. If you don’t have an iPhone or iPad connected, your AirPods will connect directly to your TV once the pairing process is successful.

7. Enjoy your audio through your AirPods: Once the connection is established, the audio from your Samsung TV will be routed to your AirPods. You can now enjoy a wireless and personalized audio experience while watching your favorite shows or movies.

It’s worth noting that some Samsung TVs might have a slight variation in their Bluetooth settings menu or process. If you encounter any difficulties, I recommend referring to the user manual of your specific Samsung TV model or contacting Samsung customer support for further assistance.

Pairing your Apple AirPods to your Samsung TV is a straightforward process. Just make sure your AirPods are in pairing mode, enable Bluetooth on your Samsung TV, and connect the two devices.
