Having clear audio while playing your games is essential for a great gaming experience. While your Xbox Series X handles the visuals well, the audio setup is up to you. In shared spaces, blasting game sounds at high volume may not be an option, and investing in expensive headsets may not be feasible. If you have AirPods lying around, they could be a great solution, even though it may seem difficult to pair them with your console. Fortunately, there is a workaround you can use.
How to connect AirPods via a smart TV
If you have a smart TV, it likely has a Bluetooth receiver that we can use to overcome your console’s lack of Bluetooth support.
Step 1: Go into your TV’s settings and find the Bluetooth menu, usually labeled under “Sound” or “Bluetooth”.
Step 2: Press the pairing button on your AirPod case and locate them in your TV’s Bluetooth menu.
Step 3: Connect your AirPods to the TV to hear audio from the TV through your AirPods.
If you don’t have a smart TV, you can purchase a Bluetooth adapter to plug into your Xbox Series X controller for Bluetooth compatibility.
