Do Airpods Only Work with iOS?
Contents

Despite being marketed as Apple-exclusive, and including special features that only work on iOS devices, AirPods are also ordinary Bluetooth earbuds. This means you can manually pair them with any Bluetooth-compatible device, like an Android phone or Windows computer, should you so choose.

Can Apple AirPods be used with Android?

Apple AirPods can be connected to Android phones. And even though Apple has designed the AirPods (and AirPods Pro) — just like all its products — to remain an integral part of its ecosystem, Android users have the option to connect the company’s true wireless stereo (TWS) earbuds with their phones.

Are AirPods worth it for Android?

Best answer: AirPods technically work with Android phones, but compared to using them with an iPhone, the experience is significantly watered-down. From missing features to losing access to important settings, you’re better off with another pair of wireless earbuds.
