If you intend to pair your standard AirPods, Airpods pro, or any wireless beats, here are steps to go about it:
- On the top right corner of your Peloton screen, click “Settings.”
- Click the Bluetooth Audio button.
- With the case open, gently press and hold the button on the back of your AirPods or AirPods Pro till it flickers white.
- If you are using AirPods Max, press and hold the noise control button till it flickers white
- In the case of Beats Power, Beats Pro, make sure to open the case lid and continuously press the button on the front till the white status light starts to flash.
- Select “Connect” from the list of your AirPods on the Peloton screen
- When you open the lid and Peloton will detect your AirPods and connect automatically
Keep in mind that only the Beats PowerBeats Pro and the AirPods Pro are sweat-resistant from the list given above, and probably if you are not sweating on the Peloton, you are not exercising enough. If you want to use the normal AirPods with non-sweat-resistant headphones, be aware that doing so could damage them over time.

How to Connect AirPods to Peloton First Time
This could be a challenging chore at first if you are new to Peloton or AirPods. Using AirPods with a non-Apple smartphone involves a few more steps than using them with an Apple device, where you simply open the headphones, and they automatically sync. But don’t worry, I’ve got you covered.
Since the Peloton workout cycle isn’t an Apple product, your AirPods won’t automatically pair with it the first time you take them out of their case. That means you’ll have to plug them in by hand the first time you use them. Read the steps below and learn how to do it:
- The first step involves opening your AirPods from their case but leaving them in their charging case
- Press the pairing button at the back of your AirPods until the case light flickers white
- In case your AirPods are in a decorative case, remove them but leave them in their case
- Next, navigate to Bluetooth settings on your Peloton’s touchscreen and turn Bluetooth on
- Your Peloton will be able to detect your AirPods by their name
- Pair with the suitable device by clicking on it. Once you do that, your Peloton and AirPods will link
- You can now take your earbuds out of the case and insert them. You are there, and the real fun begins!
If this doesn’t work, repeat the connection process. If it still doesn’t work after a few tries, try turning off the bike’s power and turning it back on.
Next-level tips:
- Power off Bluetooth pairing on your peloton bike and power it on after 15 seconds
- Switch off your phone Bluetooth and take it away, including other devices that might be connected to your AirPod away from your peloton bike
- Forget all the Bluetooth devices that might be connected to your bike. This ensures that your device is the only one your bike can discover and connect to.
