How to connect your AirPods to an Xbox

If you’re in a clutch and wondering how to connect your AirPods to an Xbox Series X/S or One, I have good news – you can. While you can’t just pair the best AirPods directly to your console – due to a lack of Bluetooth support – there is a way to get them to work by using the Xbox app on your phone.     

No matter whether you own one of the best iPhones or best Android phones, though, the audio can be slightly delayed. Microsoft essentially has its own technology for connecting accessories like controllers and headsets to its Xbox consoles wirelessly. Of course, this is the most preferred option, but using the app is still an effective workaround.
