How to use AirPods Pro with an Android/non-Apple device – Times of India

Apple products like the Apple Watch, are compatible exclusively with iPhones. The company, on the other hand, has adopted a different strategy with its earbuds. Apple has designed its audio products to work with any device that has a Bluetooth connection. If you use an iPhone with your AirPods Pro, you will be able to access some of the more advanced features, such as — dynamic head tracking, spatial audio, and easy device switching. However, you can still use these devices for their core purposes with non-Apple devices.
Since AirPods and AirPods Pro are Bluetooth-enabled earbuds, you can connect and use them with any Android phone. You can also pair your AirPods with the Android tablets and watches as well.
