If you have Bluetooth on your TV no adapter is necessary. Just make sure your AirPods are not connected to another device and go into the pairing menu on the TV after you open the case and hold down the button in the back of the case to put them in pairing mode as shown by a blinking white light. Depending on your TV you may not be able to control the volume on your AirPods.


As far as hooking up your iPhone to your TV you need this: https://www.apple.com/shop/product/MD826AM/A/lightning-digital-av-adapter?fnode=3a510a5e12b041391679d8f2d3360b851f0f6d89896d1bc360d258006243efa38d443af4690f72eac8d9b7abe63c8162f6345643cdc1f74796c7fc3428685ff1ba342b293cbd4be06591c48c8c61c4a47895b37ba05aeda543ec83089c1c892d


Keep in mind some apps block connection to TVs with HDMI.
