AirPods Pro 2 Android User Review | What works, what doesn't, and are they worth it?

Apple's 2nd generation of their best buds/pods have finally arrived and a lot of folks seem to think they were worth the wait.

But those folks are Apple people.

Are they still worth it if your pocket computer is a Galaxy, OnePlus, or Pixel?

We have the answers you seek.

Do they pause music when taken out of the ear when using with android?

S23 Ultra user here, just bought the AirPods Pro 2th Gen with confidence just watching your video, thanks!

[gengumain]

I have an android and I was going to buy these airpod pros, but I didn't know how they would work or if they were good so watching this video felt like I found exactly what I was looking for. thank you!

I'm a samsung person. I never had any issues using airpod pro and the sound is awesome as it is. Ive been using my samsung bud live a lot because it doesnt hurt my ear and the airpod pro 1 still sounds better.

Thanks for the super helpful (and fun/funny) video! The pro2's are $50 off for black friday right now so will probably pick one up and upgrade from gen1 which I've used on Android to great success so far, glad to hear the 2nd gen ones work just as well.

Thanks, just got a pair now! From a friend I got ‘em for 80

100% worth it

Man, those posters behind you are unreal. I love them.

I use them with my Android phone, iPad and Macbook and honestly there is really no difference for me, in fact the ability to completely customize the eq on any pair of headphones make them sound even better on my Android. The one downside is the fact that you can't really tell the battery like you can on ios, but there are some 3rd party android apps that could fix this. I personally have don't use any of all the fancy features, I just use the regular adaptive noise control, anc, and transparency which you can control right from the buds. So unless you are looking to use things like spatial audio with head tracking, I do recommend these earbuds even for Android users as I believe they are one of the best if not the best overall earbuds on the market. But I do think you would need access to at least one iOS/mac device that you can use to set up all the settings with (this is only a one time, after that all the settings will be saved).

Airpods Pro 2 + Android phone user here. Just bought the Pods a few hours ago. Volume control on the Pods works (swiping up/down) however the tap commands, such as one tap for play/pause, doesn't work. Should I claim for warranty? Phone's Oneplus 7 Pro.

Godsent video btw. Been looking for this kind of information all over, sales clerks at my local shops know jack sh*t on this topic.

Spacial audio does kinda work on android. With apple music and a phone supporting dolby atmos (most androids nowadays) it does work . But head tracked spacial audio isn't available. And one more thing, updating the airpods pro on android is impossible and requires an iPhone to do so

[hsjawanda]

Thanks for this very useful review. Do the AirPods Pro 2 dual-pair (to an Android phone & a Windows computer)?

[eddieevangelista]

Switched to pixel series a's from airpods. A great little apk is openpods apk. Helps you track battery life of your airpods

[lgoverrated]

I was asking my bro a question and he didn't say nothing...I was like why are you ignoring me. Come to find out he was talking to me the whole time. the noise canceling worked too good

[khanscombe]

Lot of good points. I used both iPhone Pro Max & Note Ultra w/ each AirPods Pro & Galaxy Buds2 Pro Mix & match as needed But I favour the AirPods especially for calls in a 1 ear usage. Louder, clearer & they hear me better as well. I disabled auto switching anyway as it becomes a pain in a busy room full of your other Mac stuff & trying to multi device.

[b_hunter]

I have an I pad but my Phone is android would it be worth getting these used

[kelvinnakamura]

Hi, does the adaptive transparency turn on by default or I still need to use a apple device to enable it before pairing to my Android phone?

[symphony]

The only reason im planning to buy this is because my local repair guy will only do battery replacement for airpod. Already wasted 2 pairs of sony linkbuds s and i cant afford to buy another pair every 8 months..

[chaotictattoo]

I use a pair of air pod pros 2 with android and considering I use YouTube music and can mess with an equalizer they work great. I was given them so I can't complain but they sound and work good
