Headphones make it simple to listen to music or improve the sound quality when watching Netflix on your Chromebook. Bluetooth earphones, such as Apple’s AirPods, a terrific option if you don’t want to get tangled up in wires.
We’ll show you how to connect AirPods – or any other Bluetooth headphones – to your Chromebook in this article.
On A Chromebook, Can I Use Any Bluetooth Headphones?

In addition, you’ll miss out on the following:

- The ability to check the battery level quickly
- Audio that is spatial
