If you’re signed into iCloud, the AirPods will automatically be paired with any other devices that are running iOS 10. 2 or higher or OS Sierra (Mac), and signed into iCloud with the same Apple ID.
Once the AirPods are paired, they will appear in the “MY DEVICES” section of the menu.
Check “Show Bluetooth in menu bar” at the bottom of the dialog box to enable a drop-down menu that will allow you to quickly switch your Mac’s audio output to AirPods without going through “System Preferences. "
Start a song, podcast, video, or other audio playback on your paired device to listen with your AirPods. AirPods connect to iPhone and Apple Watch simultaneously. This means that you will hear audio from both your iPhone and Apple Watch on your AirPods without having to switch or pair them again.
AirPods are designed to be controlled with Siri. Commands like “Play my playlist,” “Skip to the next song,” and “Turn up the volume” – as well as others – can be performed with AirPods’ Siri functionality. To change the double-tap function to play or pause music, open Settings when AirPods are nearby, tap Bluetooth, tap your AirPods, then tap Play/Pause in the “DOUBLE-TAP ON AIRPODS” section.
The USB end can be connected to an AC adapter or desktop computer to charge.
