Connecting Airpods to Computer

As noted above, to be able to connect, your computer must be equipped with Bluetooth, the adapter must work properly and not be disconnected, further steps are as follows:

• Put your Airpods into pairing mode. To do this, place them in the case, open it, and then press and hold the round button on the case until the LED indicator flashes white. If it does not start blinking, wait a little longer without releasing the button: it will glow white, blink orange several times, and then start blinking white.
  
• Pair your Airpods with your computer. To do this, in Windows 10 go to Settings (WinI or the gear icon in the Start menu). Devices. Add Bluetooth or another device. Bluetooth, wait until Airpods appear in the list and click on them, wait until the connection is complete.
• In Windows 7 and 8.1, you can go to Control Panel. Devices and Printers. Add a device and also connect to Airpods.
• Turn on audio output and microphone from Airpods. In Windows 10, go to Settings. System. Sound and make sure Airpods are installed as output and input devices.
• On Windows 7 and 8.1, go to Recorder and Playback Devices (right-click on the speaker in the notification area) and set Airpods as the default playback and recording device (right-click on Airpods. use default and use as communication device default). In Windows 10 it is also better to look into such a section (see How to open the recording and playback devices of Windows 10). In some messengers (for example, Skype), you need to select the default microphone in the settings of the program itself.

As a rule, this is where all the settings end. Airpods work with Windows and there are no problems, and reconnection usually happens automatically (or without pairing, but simply by connecting the device in the device parameters). The only caveat is that when used with an iPhone, the headphones will have to be reconnected to it.

How to connect Airpods to a Windows computer or laptop

Can Airpods be used with a Windows 10, 8.1, or Windows 7 computer? Yes, you can: it is enough that the computer or laptop has a Bluetooth adapter, and it works properly. after connecting Airpods, they can be used as headphones with a microphone.

This guide details how to connect Apple Airpods or Airpods Pro to a PC or laptop, as well as the possible problems that you may encounter. In the context of the topic, it can be helpful: How to connect and use Airpods with Android.

Possible issues connecting Airpods and Airpods Pro in Windows 10, 8.1 and Windows 7

Here are some common problems when using Airpods on a Windows computer and possible approaches to solve them:

• Bluetooth works (sees other devices), but Airpods can’t find it. this happens with old Bluetooth adapters (as well as cheap USB-Bluetooth adapters for PCs), or is often caused by drivers. Try to uninstall the existing Bluetooth driver (in the device manager, remove the adapter and check the box “Remove drivers for this device”) and install it manually from the official website of the laptop manufacturer. Also, I was faced with the fact that, on the contrary, the headphones were not found with the official driver, and after removing it and automatically installing the driver of Windows 10 itself, everything worked fine. If you are not sure if Bluetooth is working properly (and it happens that your adapter is disconnected, although the driver is installed and “the device is working properly), see a separate guide: What to do if Bluetooth does not work on a laptop.
• Airpods connection drops, audio stutters. Here again, you can experiment with different driver versions until you find a stable one. Sometimes turning off the power saving for the Bluetooth adapter helps (go to the adapter properties in the device manager, turn off the power saving on the Power Management tab). Also useful: Sound lags behind Bluetooth headphones.

And what if the Airpods are paired, but going into the sound options, I can not select a different input and output device for sound. Only speaker and microphone? Please tell me what to do

Theoretically, it may be that you have the wrong Bluetooth drivers. that is, Windows installed it itself, but you did not manually install a laptop from the manufacturer’s website for your model. And then it may not work “fully” and not function to transmit sound, for example.

The headphones were connected once. After that, they are categorically not found. What to do?
