Apple’s AirPods are a great way to listen to music when you’re on the go. However, for some people, it can be difficult to connect AirPods to MacBook. Here are a few tips that might help!

There are two ways to connect AirPods to the Mac. These depend upon how you’re using the AirPods currently.

How to connect with your Mac if you already use AirPods on your iPhone?

Your AirPods are designed in such how that they hook up with your Mac automatically if the Mac you’re using has an equivalent Apple ID as your iPhone.

Open your AirPods case.
On your Mac, click the quantity icon within the menu bar (looks sort of a speaker).
In the “Output Device” section, select AirPods.
If this does not work,
Open System Preferences
Make sure your Mac is logged into an equivalent Apple ID. In the System Preferences window click on “Apple ID” to form sure you’re signed in and using an equivalent ID
Hand off should be turned on. In the System Preferences, click on “General,” then toggle the “Allow Hand off between this Mac and your iCloud devices.”

If you can’t see the quantity icon within the menu bar, turn it on. In the System preferences window, click on “Sound”, then toggle the checkbox next to “Show volume in the menu bar.”
