Apple TV (4th generation or later) [A1625 or later] can connect to bluetooth headphones and earbuds. If the Apple ID account has the AirPods and Apple TV box registered with it, then Apple TV would already know about it through iCloud, making pairing and connecting easier.

Else open the AirPods container lid, with the AirPods still in it, and press the back button to initiate Pairing Mode. Next, open the Bluetooth settings screen on Apple TV, and find the discovered AirPods there. Then Pair and Connect. Once the AirPods have been paired, they will be remembered for a next time.

Re-connect AirPods or other bluetooth headphones or earbuds through the Control Center interface for that.


Apple TV may show the connecting suggestion for known nearby AirPods, that aren’t in use with other devices at that time. Apple TV: Settings﹥Remotes and Devices﹥Bluetooth﹥Suggest Nearby AirPods﹥On|Off.
