Can I Connect My AirPods to PS5?

Gaming with superior sound is essential, but unfortunately, AirPods cannot be directly paired with a PS5 via Bluetooth due to compatibility issues. The PS5 doesn’t natively support Apple’s Bluetooth pairing protocol, meaning you can’t simply connect your AirPods to it like you would with other devices.

Quick Answer:

AirPods cannot connect directly to PS5 via Bluetooth because of compatibility limitations.

Alternative Solution:

Don’t worry, though! You can still enjoy your AirPods while gaming by using a Bluetooth adapter. These adapters plug into the PS5’s USB port and allow you to pair any Bluetooth audio device, including AirPods. Once the adapter is set up, your AirPods will connect just like they would to any other Bluetooth device.

Although it’s an extra step, this solution ensures you can experience high-quality sound while gaming on your PS5 with your AirPods.
