The answer is a bit complicated.
So lets discuss everything it’s crucial that you know about connecting your AirPods to a PS4.
Unfortunately, you might not connect AirPods to PS4, at least not natively.

Heck, it will almost give you a native-like audio experience.
So lets see how you’re able to do that:
Done!
Now you should use the mic and hear the PS4s audio output from your AirPods.
Keep in mind different TV models come with different options names/paths in their menus.
