Do you have AirPods and want to learn how to play music on them? Whether you have the original, Pro, or Max version of AirPods, it’s a simple process once you know what to do. In this blog post, we’ll cover everything you need to know about playing music on your AirPods.

If you have an iOS device such as an iPhone or iPad and AirPods with a W1 chip in them (the original and Pro versions), then the pairing process is quick and easy. Simply open the lid of your AirPods case near your iOS device and follow the on-screen instructions. Once the pairing process is complete, music can be played directly from your device using Bluetooth.

If you don’t own an iOS device but still want to use your AirPods with another device, then it’s possible too. To do so, first, pair your AirPods with the other device via Bluetooth by following its connection instructions. Once they are connected, simply open up your media player of choice and start playing music as normal.

If you own Apple’s newest version of headphones – AirPods Max – then there are a few extra steps involved in connecting them. First, make sure that Bluetooth is enabled on both devices that you wish to connect together. Then open the lid of your AirPods Max case near your iOS device or another device with which they will pair. Finally, follow any instructions that appear on either screen in order to complete the pairing process.

Once you have successfully connected your AirPods (no matter which version) with another device, simply select them from within audio settings as if they were any other Bluetooth audio device and start listening! You can also control playback using Siri on iPhones for hands-free operation; just make sure that “Hey Siri” is enabled within Settings > Siri & Search before trying this out.

We hope that this blog post has helped teach you how to play music on all types of Apple wireless headphones – no matter what type of device they are paired with! If there are any further questions or concerns regarding connecting and playing music through Apple headphones, please feel free to reach out for further assistance!
