Can't connect the AirPods to my Mac?

I'm currently doing homework and would like to listen to some music, I can connect my AirPods (they are original, otherwise I would not be surprised:-)) with my laptop. I'm actually pretty good at things like that, it always worked on my cell phone. Can anyone give me a hint?

Thank you!

Maybe this guide will help you:

Many many thanks! It worked perfectly, great description! How stupid that I didn't have the time to look at Apple's description…
