Final answer:
You cannot directly connect AirPods to a PS4 due to lack of native Bluetooth audio support, but you can use a Bluetooth adapter to connect them. The adapter connects to the PS4 via USB or audio jack, and microphone support might vary depending on the adapter.
Step-by-step explanation:
Directly connecting AirPods to a PS4 is not supported as the PS4 doesn't have built-in Bluetooth support for audio devices like AirPods. However, you can connect AirPods to a PS4 using a Bluetooth adapter. To do this, you'll need to plug the Bluetooth adapter into the PS4's USB port or the 3.5mm audio jack through an audio jack to USB converter. Then, put your AirPods in pairing mode and connect them to the adapter as you would with any other Bluetooth device. Once connected, you'll be able to use your AirPods with your PS4. It's important to know that not all adapters may support microphone functionality, so if you need the mic for voice chat, make sure the adapter supports this feature.
