How To Connect AirPods To Samsung Tv? 

1. Select the Right Option for Your Device

While this tutorial is applicable to most Samsung smart TVs, it’s important to know which version of the operating system your television uses.

If your TV uses the Samsung Smart Hub, then you’ll want to select “Smart Hub.” This can be found in the “Bluetooth” settings menu. It’s also important to note that Samsung TVs are also capable of connecting to Bluetooth devices like speakers and headphones. However, AirPods are designed to pair with devices using a specific Apple protocol called “Easy Connect.” This makes it simpler for AirPods to connect to a Samsung TV.

This can be done by going to “Settings” then “Bluetooth” and clicking “On.” Next, find AirPods in your Samsung television’s settings. This can be done by going to “Settings” then “Bluetooth” followed by “Easy Connect” in the submenu.
