Apple AirPods works effortlessly on various iOS devices, but you ever wonder how to use these earbuds on your Mac device. The process of pairing and connecting your AirPods with Mac devices are also straightforward and accessible.

In case you are using your earbuds the first time, then you need to pair it over Mac for the pairing process. Once the device is paired, Apple will sync all your Apple supported devices with your iCloud account. It provides you to access all your data from anywhere. Just like a headset or neckband, you need these earbuds to pair with your Mac device if you want to access various features on it.


Checking Paired Devices over Mac

In case, your iOS device is already paired with any of the pairing devices; then this entire device will be displayed in the Volume Control section and Bluetooth Menus. It applies when you use the same Apple associated ID and Handoff activated on your Mac device. These AirPods are also used on other gadgets such as Windows and Android devices.

Here are the instructions to know how to connect or pair Apple Airpods with the Mac device:
