Checking Compatibility of Your AirPods and iPad

Before you begin, make sure your AirPods are compatible with your iPad by checking for the correct model and software version.

You can do this by connecting your AirPods to an iOS device, opening the Settings app, tapping on General, then About, and finally selecting AirPods from the list of connected devices.

Once you've confirmed compatibility, the next step is to test connectivity strength between your AirPods and iPad. Turn on Bluetooth on both devices and ensure that they're close to each other.

Then open the lid of your AirPod case and hold it close to your iPad. If a pop-up appears on your screen asking if you want to connect your AirPods, tap 'Connect'.

If not, go to the Control Center by swiping down from the top-right corner of your iPad's screen, select Audio Output in the music widget panel, and choose 'AirPods' from there.

Once connected successfully, play some audio or video content to check if there's any lag or distortion in sound quality.

Next, you'll need to put your AirPods into pairing mode by pressing and holding the button on the back of the case until the LED light flashes white.

Your AirPods should now appear in the list of available devices under 'Other Devices' in your iPad's Bluetooth settings. Tap on them to connect and complete the pairing process.
