Airpods Pro cannot connect to Sony Bravia

Thanks very much for the reply. I ended up contacting Sony directly and they replied: "The TV model XBR43X800H doesn't have the function to transmit sound through Bluetooth connection and that is why the TV won't detect the Apple AirPods Pro device. The Bluetooth connection for this TV model is good to use it with the TV remote and certain Bluetooth devices such as keyboard and mouses"

I did end up being able to re-pair my AirPods with the A9G after a couple more attempts, and thanked Sony for their prompt and helpful reply. (I only recommended that they make this information more find-able and that they provide it more prominently with their training materials to places like the Geek Squad).

This is a user-to-user technical support site operated by Apple, their executives aren't here and won't see your screed. You give no information about what you have tried, what happens when you try, etc. and I'm not good at. reading minds.

I returned my AirPod Pros because they didn't fit my ears properly but I have connected 2nd Generation AirPods to a Sony Bravia model (there are many models and also can't read your mind as to which model you have) with a little bit of finagling. Unfortunately the one I connected to could not adjust the volume on them. I did have to temporarily turn off BT on my iPhone and Watch as the Sony was slow to pick up on them so they auto connected. I ended up connecting some over the ear headphones instead and once again the Sony was very slow in recognizing them. They did connect once it did. I've read other Sony owners commenting on how slow the Bravia's are with BT.

I paired my AirPods. Pro with a 65" Sony Bravia 4K OLED about a month ago, worked fine. Just brought a 43" Sony Bravia 4K and it would not recognize the AirPods to pair. Reset AirPods, even exchanged the new TV - still would not pair. Just retried to use the AirPods with the larger TV that they used to work with - they are no longer recognized and will not re-pair. (Yes, there was a software update on the 65" a couple of days ago, have no idea if there is a connection. It is almost as if Android dropped support for AirPods - is that possible? (I don't have non-Apple devices to try to pair with - will probably try that at another time if I don't see a solution to this issue).

All of the BT profiles on the AirPods Pros conform to the BT standards. You are making sure no other device is present that they may have autoconnected with? And you do have the case open and the light is blinking white?

I wasn't trying to read your mind and I did make a suggestion.

If you think that Apple has their engineers monitor this user-to-user technical support forum you are sadly mistaken. This is the largest such forum of its kind, Apple would have to assign hundreds of highly paid personnel just to monitor it. Years ago when it was smaller on rare occasions one might be contacted by one if there was a long thread (like 100 pages) and they thought someone would volunteer to help. It has been over a decade since I've experienced that. Did you work at Apple in Silicon Valley? Were you a software engineer?

I have no idea what you are going on about with your 3rd point. Who are the Apple blog guys? Who is looking up things at Google? And who is closing the matter?

How many years experience do you have participating here?

No, I don't work for Apple, the only ones here that do are the specialists who answer questions that have gone unanswered for 12 - 24 hours.

I still don't know what you are blabbering about with "read your mind", I didn't say that to you.

What ridiculous questions did I write?

And I have had experience pairing several different BT devices to Sony Bravia TVs and always found them to be fickle.
