I’m searching for how to connect AirPods to PS5 since Bluetooth doesn’t seem to detect them. Is there a special method for how to connect AirPods to PS5? Any working solution for how to connect AirPods to PS5 would be great.

In order to play music using AirPods with a PlayStation 5, you will require a Bluetooth adapter because the PS5 will not support the Bluetooth audio directly. Insert a USB Bluetooth-compatible device into the PS5, then insert the AirPods into the pairing mode (press the button on the case until the light turns white), and then pair them with the device. After connection, it is necessary to configure the adapter as the PS5 audio output device in sound settings.

You can’t connect AirPods directly to a PS5 via Bluetooth because the console doesn’t support most Bluetooth audio devices. Instead, use one of these methods:

Option 1: Plug a Bluetooth adapter into the PS5’s USB port, pair your AirPods with the adapter, and select it as audio output.
Option 2: Connect AirPods to your TV’s Bluetooth settings if your TV supports it.
Option 3: Use the PlayStation Remote Play app on your phone and connect AirPods to your phone.

Bluetooth adapter is the easiest and most reliable solution.

Yeah, PS5 doesn’t support regular Bluetooth audio, so it won’t detect your AirPods directly. You’ll need a Bluetooth adapter that plugs into the PS5’s USB port, then pair your AirPods to that, I use one and it works perfectly.

PS5 doesn’t support Bluetooth audio like AirPods directly, so you can’t connect them the normal way; you’ll need a compatible Bluetooth audio transmitter that plugs into the PS5’s USB port, pair your AirPods with that transmitter, and then set the audio output to the USB device in PS5 settings.
