If you don’t want to deal with an adapter adding extra bulkiness to your Xbox controller, you could also consider connecting your AirPods to your TV or monitor through Bluetooth. This method depends on your display’s make and model, but many modern TVs and monitors have Bluetooth features.
Here are general steps for connecting your AirPods to your Smart TV:
- Turn your TV on.
- Navigate to your TV’s Settings.
- Look for a Remotes and Accessories option. Sometimes, it’s Remotes and Devices, while other times, the Bluetooth settings may be in your Sound settings.
- Turn Bluetooth on.
- Open your AirPods case (with the AirPods inside) and press and hold the button on the back of the case. This will put your AirPods in pairing mode, allowing your TV’s Bluetooth to connect to them.
- Once paired, your TV volume will come through your AirPods, and you can control it with the remote.
If you use your Xbox while your AirPods are connected to your TV, the Xbox audio will come through your wireless earbuds. This method will also work for streaming boxes like AppleTV, and you can pair Bluetooth headphones to your Amazon Fire TV. If you’re using a monitor, follow the same instructions. If it has a Bluetooth feature, activating it should be a similar process.
