Listen to your LG TV through your Airpods is very useful if you don’t want the sound to be too loud around you. Here’s how to quickly connect your Apple Airpods to your LG TV.
Go to your LG TV, Settings
Connecting AirPods to LG TV via Roku
Sure, that’s an added expense, but if your LG Smart TV just doesn’t work well with your Apple AirPods , consider a Roku Streaming Stick. This is a neat little solution that Roku calls “private listening.”
- Once your Roku is inserted into an HDMI port, download the app on your iPhone.
- Once your AirPods are connected to your phone, launch the app Roku and select Headphones. That’s it.
When you’re ready to disconnect the audio connection, simply put your AirPods back in the case or select Headphones again in the Roku app.
Please note that this is a streaming solution only. Anything you stream through the Roku Streaming Stick will transfer the audio to your AirPods. Until they develop an HD antenna directly built into the Roku Stick, or the same with cable, live TV is not an option.
Connecting AirPods to LG TV via Fire TV
Of course, Amazon has its own streaming device/hub because it’s Amazon. Luckily for you, that’s another option for connecting your AirPods. Unfortunately, like the Roku Streaming Stick, you won’t be able to listen to live TV. Also, Amazon doesn’t give you the option to use your AirPods to adjust the volume. You’ll have to do that with the Fire TV remote and a bunch of tricks.
To pair your AirPods with Fire TV, make sure you’re in pairing mode. Then:
- On Fire TV, select Settings
