But here’s the catch

It would work for the most part but the connection is not that smooth and the range is terrible, not to mention the lag.

The double-tap feature on AirPods doesn’t work, either does the video pause after taking one of the AirPods out like on Macbook. But what really disappointing is the lag issue, the AirPods had a few seconds delay, which could be fixed by putting the AirPods back to its case. Still, a drag.
