    Airpods require Bluetooth. Sonos doesn't support Bluetooth for audio.

    One option would be a Connect, plus an external BT transmitter.

    I know...it should though. All of my music is on there so I am left to listen with the phone itself which stinks.

      How would I do that? I'll have to google

      Sonos doesn't believe in Bluetooth (other than BLE, solely for configuration purposes). This story hasn't changed in years. There used to be a page specifically highlighting BT's shortcomings compared to network based audio.

      Buy a Connect (not cheap). Wire it to your choice of BT transmitter, one that's compatible with Airpods.
