What are the most popular wireless headphones on the market? Obviously Apple's AirPods. And it is that these small devices conquer more than half of the bluetooth headphones market and all this despite the company's detractors of the bitten apple.
Now, it is clear that most Apple users will bet on AirPods, but is it worth paying for it if we are users of an Android phone? Let's analyze it.
Advantages of using AirPods with an Android cellphone
Simple to use and configure
AirPods have been a huge hit for years.
Pairing AirPods on Android is as simple as using them on an Apple phone. You just have to put them in pairing mode, access the bluetooth settings of the smartphone and select them.
Quickly and easily we can start listening to our favorite Spotify music on our new AirPods. The best? That the sound quality is pretty much the same on Android as it is on iOS as well as the battery life, so if you have switched from the ecosystem of the bitten apple to that of the green robot, you will not find any difference.
Excellent quality
Not another thing, but Apple knows how to make quality products and AirPods are. For many they may be a little expensive, but the construction and materials of the AirPods have nothing to do with most bluetooth headphones on the market.
What does this mean? Well, Apple's AirPods will last us for years, which we sadly can't say about many other cheaper headphones. Of course we cannot forget the excellent after-sales service of the Cupertino company either.
Finally… I'm from Apple
No, Apple's AirPods aren't among the budget headphones
That might be the dumbest excuse, but we can't deny that many people buy products for their brand. Apple is a recognized brand around the world and when you see AirPods on the street you know perfectly well that they are Apple devices.
You know, posture is posture.
Disadvantages of using AirPods with an Android cellphone
Some functions are lost
AirPods are designed to be used with Apple products
Although the quality of use on an Android and iOS phone is almost the same, the truth is, using AirPods on an Android phone causes a lot of features to be lost. Let's talk about the wonderful integration that different Apple devices have with each other, which makes switching from an iPad to an iOS mobile or an iPad with AirPods something instantaneous.
Of course, other features are also lost, such as knowing the battery level of the AirPods or having to manually pair them to the Android phone every time we want to use them.
The cursed lightning cable
While most tech devices already have a USB-C cable to charge them, Apple continues in most of its devices with its own cable, the lightning bolt. Although there is a cable in the box with the AirPods, that means only this cable we will need to charge them, so the rest of the cables we have from other android phones won't work for us.
In short, is AirPods for Android worth it? If you already had them because you were previously iOS users, go ahead with them, use them. On the other hand, if you are going to buy them new, better to get other models on the market because unfortunately the AirPods exploit one hundred percent with the Apple ecosystem.
