I have the Latest AppleTV. On its remote it has volume control buttons. These buttons are setup to control the TV unless a pair of AirPods or HomePods is connected to the AppleTV. I use the Apple TV with My AirPods quite often to avoid making noise. I control the volume using the AppleTV remote, so does my partner with her AirPods and sometimes our son does the same with his own headset. We need the Sofabaton to provide bluetooth volume control in the same fashion as the Apple TV remote does.
