Everyone wants the most out of their devices, and when it's an Apple product, the expectations are even higher. Many Apple AirPods users wish to pair their AirPods with their Mac in order to get the most out of them. There's no excuse for keeping your AirPods connected to your iPhone only; like any other Bluetooth earphone, you can use them with a variety of other devices, including your Mac. We'll tell you how to connect your AirPods to your Mac in this article.
How to Connect AirPods with Mac
To connect different generations of AirPods to your Mac, you must first ensure that your Mac is running the correct version of macOS, as per Apple. To run AirPods 2nd Generation macOS Mojave 10.14.4 or later is required, MacOS Catalina 10.15.1 or later is required for AirPods Pro and macOS Monterey or later is required for AirPods 3rd generation.
If this is the first time you've used your AirPods or AirPods Pro with your Mac, the initial step is to pair the two devices. Whether you're using AirPods with an iMac, MacBook, Mac mini, or any other Mac, the process is the same.
Connecting your AirPods to your Mac for the first time
If your AirPods aren't listed in the Bluetooth or volume control menus, pair them with your Mac as follows:
If the audio from your Mac speakers keeps playing, go over to the Bluetooth settings or the volume control in the menu bar and select your AirPods as the output source.
If you already have your AirPods connected to your iPhone, you can use them with your Macbook as long as both devices are signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID. The user just needs to place their AirPods in their ears and use the menu bar on their Mac to access the Bluetooth menu or the volume control. Then select AirPods from the drop-down menu.

Switching AirPods Between Device Automatically
When you connect your AirPods to your Mac for the first time, they should automatically switch to your Mac anytime you use it. This means you can simply put your AirPods Pro in your ears and start listening to music on your MacBook Pro, and they'll connect immediately.
If you were previously using your AirPods with another device, such as an iPhone, you'll need to select Connect in the notification that shows on your Mac.
