How to Connect AirPods to PS5

The PS5 doesn’t support Bluetooth headphones like AirPods out of the box. You can add support with a Bluetooth adapter.
Depending on how you connect the AirPods, you may only be able to hear audio, not chat with other players.
Bluetooth headphones have latency that reduces their performance and may not be acceptable for the most-demanding gamers.

To connect AirPods to PS5, follow these steps:

Make sure your AirPods are charged. If your Bluetooth adapter plugs into the PS5 controller and therefore uses a battery, make sure it’s charged, too. Adapters that plug into the PS5 or TV get their power from those devices and don’t need to be charged.
Connect the Bluetooth adapter to your PS5, TV, or controller.
Put the Bluetooth adapter into pairing mode. Different devices enter pairing mode in slightly different ways, so check the instructions. Usually, a blinking light indicates that it’s in pairing mode.
Make sure the AirPods in their charging case, then open the case. Press and hold the button on the case.
Hold the button on the AirPods case until the Bluetooth adapter’s light turns solid. That indicates that the AirPods are paired to the adapter.
Put your AirPods in your ears. Try playing a game or doing something on the PS5 that plays audio. You should hear the audio from the PS5 in your AirPods.
