Pavel Jelic There may come a time in your life when you need to connect AirPods to your Apple TV. Personally, I use this function with my girlfriend practically every day, because I can't concentrate at work when there is some noise around me. So my girlfriend plays Apple TV and, for example, Netflix on her AirPods in the room, while I can work in peace. However, connecting AirPods to Apple TV is not quite as intuitive and "automatic" as, for example, on an iPhone. So let's see together in this guide how you can connect AirPods to Apple TV and how to set them up as an output device.
