Will AirPods pair w/Apple & non-Apple?

In May, I bought AirPods (model# on box starts with A2032). I have paired them successfully with my iPad and Apple TV. But I would also like to pair them with a bluetooth wireless audio transmitter (for use with my TV). Can I pair the AirPods with both Apple and non-Apple devices? Once I pair them to the bluetooth transmitter, can I then go back and use them with my iPad or Apple TV?

Hello,

Start here:

Set up AirPods with your Mac and other Bluetooth devices

Switching back-and-forth should work in theory, but there can be issues with the automatic switching. If so, go to the Control Center, select the Music icon, and change the output option.

Good luck.
