AirPods Won’t Connect to Firestick
If your AirPods are not connecting to your Firestick, there are several troubleshooting steps you can try to resolve the issue:
1. Check Bluetooth Settings
Ensure that Bluetooth is enabled on your Firestick. Navigate to the settings menu, select “Controllers & Bluetooth Devices,” and then “Other Bluetooth Devices” to see if your AirPods appear in the list of available devices. If not, try turning Bluetooth off and on again.
2. Reset AirPods
Try resetting your AirPods by placing them in their case, holding down the setup button on the back of the case until the status light flashes amber, then white. After resetting, try pairing your AirPods with your Firestick again.
3. Restart Firestick
Sometimes, simply restarting your Firestick can resolve connectivity issues. Unplug your Firestick from the power source, wait a few seconds, then plug it back in and allow it to restart fully. Once restarted, try pairing your AirPods again.
Is Firestick Remote Bluetooth?
