Предупреждение об ограничениях
Прежде чем перейти к реализации процедуры подключения AirPods к компьютеру или ноутбуку с ОС Windows 11, важно отметить следующее:
- Вызов Siri по очевидным причинам будет недоступен, а управление касаниями/нажатиями – не работать в принципе либо работать строго так, как это ранее было настроено на Apple-девайсе.
- Воспроизведение звука не будет начинаться и/или останавливаться автоматически при помещении/извлечении наушников в/из ушей и/или зарядный кейс. Подключение/отключение будет осуществляться в момент открытия/закрытия футляра соответственно.
- Гарнитура в целом может и наверняка будет работать нестабильно (особенно на устройствах со старой версией Bluetooth). Это проявляется в прерываниях и рывках во время воспроизведения, разрывах соединения, менее качественном звучании и т. д.
- Для корректной работы АирПодс с ОС Виндовс требуется, чтобы в компьютере или ноутбуке был установлен Блютуз версии 4 и выше. Узнать версию модуля беспроводной связи можно следующим образом:
- Откройте «Диспетчер устройств». Проще всего это сделать через контекстное меню кнопки «Пуск», вызываемое нажатием по ней правой кнопкой мышки (ПКМ).
- Разверните список Bluetooth, найдите в нем наименование своего беспроводного адаптера, кликните по нему ПКМ и выберите пункт «Свойства».
- Перейдите во вкладку «Дополнительно» и ознакомьтесь со сведениями в строке «Версия встроенного ПО». Указанное рядом с параметром «LMP» значение необходимо сопоставить со следующими для Bluetooth:
Версия встроенного ПО Версия Bluetooth LMP 0.x Bluetooth 1.0b LMP 1.x Bluetooth 1.1 LMP 2.x Bluetooth 1.2 LMP 3.x Bluetooth 2.0 LMP 4.x Bluetooth 2.1 LMP 5.x Bluetooth 3.0 LMP 6.x Bluetooth 4.0 LMP 7.x Bluetooth 4.1 LMP 8.x Bluetooth 4.2 LMP 9.x Bluetooth 5.0
В нашем случае, как можно понять по скриншоту выше, используется адаптер LMP 4.4839, что соответствует версии Bluetooth 2.1. AirPods удалось подключить и они работают, но их использование на таком устройстве крайне сложно назвать комфортным.
Шаг 1: Включение Bluetooth
Очевидно, что для подключения любых беспроводных наушников, не только AirPods, к компьютеру или ноутбуку, прежде всего необходимо активировать Bluetooth на последнем. В Windows 11 это можно сделать через «Центр уведомлений» или «Параметры», о чем мы ранее писали в отдельной статье.
Подробнее: Как включить блютуз на компьютере с Виндовс 11
Шаг 2: Подключение наушников
После того как модуль беспроводной связи будет активирован, можно смело переходить к сопряжению наушников и ПК. Делается это по следующему алгоритму:
- Откройте «Параметры» операционной системы. Это можно сделать через меню «Пуск», контекстное меню, вызываемое нажатием правой кнопки мышки (ПКМ) на данном элементе, и с помощью клавиш «Win+I».
- Перейдите к разделу «Bluetooth и устройства».
- Убедитесь, что опция «Bluetooth» находится в активированном состоянии.
- Нажмите на плитку или кнопку с подписью «Добавить устройство».
- В появившемся списке выберите первый вариант – «Bluetooth».
- Откройте зарядный кейс беспроводной гарнитуры (извлекать из него наушники на данном этапе не обязательно).
Зажмите и удерживайте расположенную на корпусе кнопку соединения до тех пор, пока зарядный индикатор в или на корпусе (зависит от модели) не начнет мигать белым, как это показано на изображении ниже.
Примечание: На модели AirPods Max для активации режима сопряжения необходимо удерживать кнопку управления шумом.
- Ожидайте, пока система найдет наушники,
после чего кликните по их наименованию для продолжения.
Спустя несколько секунд AirPods будут подключены к компьютеру.
Закройте окно сопряжения, нажав на кнопку «Готово».
Шаг 3: Управление подключением
После того как беспроводные наушники будут подключены, вы сможете пользоваться их базовыми возможностями, такими как прослушивание аудио и общение.
- Управлять подключением можно в уже упомянутом выше разделе «Bluetooth и устройства» системных «Параметров».
Здесь же по необходимости можно отключать
и подключать аксессуар,
а также удалить его из списка доступных к использованию.
- Для управления громкостью следует воспользоваться доступной в «Центре уведомления шкалой», а если нажать по расположенному справа от нее указателю,
можно быстро переключаться между всеми подключенными к ПК или ноутбуку звуковыми устройствами.
- Аналогичная возможность, как и более тонкая настройка, доступна в разделе «Дополнительные параметры громкости».
Если открыть в них подраздел с AirPods, можно назначить наушники средством воспроизведения звука и/или общения по умолчанию, предоставить дополнительные разрешения, отрегулировать общий уровень громкости и баланс для левого и правого канала, а также по желанию активировать/деактивировать опцию улучшения звука.
Решение возможных проблем
Ввиду того, что АирПодс в первую очередь предназначены для использования в связке с другой техникой Эппл, на ПК и ноутбуках с Виндовс, даже относительно современных, с их подключением и использованием вполне могут возникать проблемы, помимо всех тех ограничений, которые мы обозначили в начале статьи. Узнать о причинах их возникновения и устранить поможет отдельная статья на нашем сайте, ссылка на которую дана ниже.

Connect the AirPods to Your Windows 11 PC
Although Apple’s AirPods are designed to work with other Apple products, you can also connect them to your Windows 11 PC. All you need to do is turn on Bluetooth on your PC and enable Pairing Mode on your AirPods.
Turn On Bluetooth on Your Windows 11 PC
Before you can connect your AirPods to your Windows 11 PC, you’ll need to make sure Bluetooth is turned on, which you can do in the Settings app.
First, click the up arrow in the system tray, and then click the Bluetooth icon from the menu that appears.
Next, click «Open Settings» near the bottom of the context menu.
You’ll now be on the Bluetooth & Devices page of the Settings app. Toggle the slider next to the Bluetooth option to the «On» position.
Now that Bluetooth is turned on, you can begin pairing your AirPods.
Connect the AirPods to Your Windows 11 PC
To connect your AirPods to your PC, head back to the Bluetooth & Devices page in the Settings app (system tray > Bluetooth icon > Open Settings) and then click «Add Device» next to the option that lets you pair new devices with your PC.
The Add a Device window will appear. Click «Bluetooth» at the top of this window.
Windows will begin searching for Bluetooth devices. You’ll need to put your AirPods in Pairing Mode for Windows to find them. Put your AirPods in the case and open the lid, and then press and hold the Pairing button on the back of the case. When the light on the front of the case begins flashing white, you can let go of the button.
After a few seconds, Windows will find your AirPods. Select your AirPods from the list of found devices.
Once selected, Windows will begin pairing the two devices. Once finished, your AirPods will be connected to your Windows 11 PC.
You can connect your AirPods to any device that supports Bluetooth, such as a Mac or Apple TV. We also have a dedicated guide for connecting AirPods Pro. There’s more to AirPods than just connecting them to devices, though. If you’re new to Apple’s take on earbuds, we cover everything you need to know about AirPods.
If you’ve ever wondered if it’s possible to connect Apple AirPods with your Windows 11 PC, you’d be glad to know that it’s possible to do so, even without the help of a third-party program.
While AirPods are designed to work with Apple mobile devices, it’s still possible to use them on a Windows device with barely any compromises in functionality. Here, you’ll learn how to connect Airpods on Windows 11, as well as how to make your PC remember it when next you try connecting.
Do Airpods Work on a Windows 11 PC?
Pairing AirPods with previous iterations of Windows is pretty much a hassle-free process, and the same can be said of Windows 11. Provided your PC has Bluetooth, Airpods will work seamlessly as they’ll connect to your PC just like any other Bluetooth-enabled device.
The only caveat I can think of is that the Airpods sensors may not sync your inputs as optimally as they would with an Apple device. However, the Airpods can remember the pairing state with your PC and other devices you regularly use them for, allowing you to switch between them seamlessly.
Connecting Airpods on Windows 11
Connecting your Airpods on Windows 11 only takes a few seconds. Follow the steps below to do just that:
- Press Windows key + I to launch the Settings app
- Navigate to the left pane and select Bluetooth & Devices
- On the right pane under Bluetooth & Devices, use the toggle bar next to the Bluetooth option to enable it
- Next, click Add Devices (+) at the top section
- Put your AirPods in their case, and then leave the case open
- Press and hold the button on the Airpod’s case
- Let go of the button as soon as you see a white light flashing on the case (Where the light flashes from varies depending on the version of Apple Airpods you have)
- Back to your PC, click Bluetooth under the Add a Device section
- Your PC will begin a search for nearby Bluetooth devices. Wait for it to detect your Airpods
- Once the connection is established, navigate to the bottom of the window and click Done
You should be able to use your Airpods from here.
How to Re-establish Connection with Airpods on Windows 11
Unlike on iPhone and Mac, where your Airpods connect automatically once you open their casing, it’s a little more complicated when it comes to a Windows PC. However, you can re-establish connection easily with the steps below:
- Turn on Bluetooth on your PC
- Remove the Airpods from their case and place them on the keyboard or anywhere close to your PC
- Move your cursor to the bottom-right corner of the taskbar and click on the speaker icon
- Next, click the > icon next to the volume control slider
- From the list of devices, select Headphone (Airpods)
Connection should be re-established with your PC from here.
Final Notes
That’s all for connecting your Airpods with a Windows 11 PC. I do hope you find this guide helpful. It’d also interest you to know that your Airpods can be connected to all your devices simultaneously, but can only work with one at a time.
