Android compatibility

Excellent on Android with Fast Pair, LDAC, and broad feature support; some extras like head-tracked spatial features skew Android, but there is no aptX.

Android tends to offer the best experience thanks to broader codec access (aptX Adaptive/Lossless and LE Audio features as they roll out) and fewer reported connectivity issues in some testing. Several reviews frame Snapdragon Sound phones as the ideal pairing for full feature value.

Bluetooth pairing works with Android devices and is included in the headset's stated platform support, though Bluetooth audio quality is constrained by SBC/AAC codec limitations.

Android support is strong, with mentions of Google Fast Pair-style pairing and LDAC/LC3 compatibility on capable devices; overall positioned as a high-end alternative to ecosystem-locked options.

Android users benefit from broad codec support (including aptX options) and reviewers report smooth pairing and app behavior on Android phones. Feature parity is generally good across platforms rather than iOS-only.

Android phones pair smoothly over Bluetooth, and the Sony Sound Connect app provides on-the-go EQ and ANC/ambient controls, confirmed in use with Samsung devices.

The Melomania app is available on Android and was tested with modern Android phones, with reviewers using features like EQ, ANC modes, and codec support without major issues. Overall Android support is described as full-featured.

Android compatibility is strong thanks to Bluetooth 5.2 and support for aptX-class codecs, with reviewers noting aptX/aptX HD can be more consistent on Android than AAC. Latency performance can still vary by handset, but pairing and daily use are typically straightforward.

Android pairing is smooth in most reports, with features like Google Fast Pair and aptX codecs on compatible phones, plus USB-C digital audio on many Android devices; Android users expecting LDAC will need to use aptX or wired USB instead.

Android support is strong, with aptX Adaptive and features like Google Fast Pair and Snapdragon Sound cited; some advanced codec features require specific Qualcomm hardware, so not every Android phone gets the full benefit.

Android integration is frequently highlighted with support for features like Google Fast Pair, Find My Device, and LDAC hi-res Bluetooth. Some advanced LDAC tuning may require developer options, and certain spatial/head-tracking features are tied to newer Android versions, but overall Android support is strong.

Android pairing and day-to-day use are smooth via the Marshall app, and some coverage notes Google Fast Pair for quicker setup; the main Android downside is the lack of common hi-res codecs like aptX or LDAC; Bluetooth LE Audio features like Auracast readiness add some future-facing value as Android support expands.

Android support is strong via Bluetooth and the Razer Audio app, which reviewers use for on-the-go EQ, ANC mode control, mic tuning, and low-latency Bluetooth settings. Dual-connection features also let Android phone audio mix with 2.4GHz game audio, boosting day-to-day versatility.

Android users get full support in the Nothing X app (ANC, EQ, multipoint and more) plus LDAC hi‑res streaming on compatible devices; some bonus shortcuts are reserved for newer Nothing phones.

Android support is consistently strong, with reviewers mentioning Google Fast Pair and benefits like LDAC on compatible phones. Multiple reviews reference successful use with modern Android flagships, though feature tradeoffs may apply when using LDAC.

Pairs well with Android, including Google Fast Pair, and supports most features through HeyMelody; some advanced codec features work best on select phones.

Android use is supported through standard Bluetooth pairing and the Bose Music app on Android, and at least one reviewer reports smooth use with a Samsung phone. The main Android-specific drawback is audio: without LDAC or aptX, Android listeners miss higher-quality codec options available on some competitors.

Works best with Samsung phones, which unlock the smoothest setup and the most features (including higher-quality Samsung codecs and some smart modes). On other Android phones it still functions well via Bluetooth, but some ecosystem-only perks may be missing.

Android compatibility is a major strength, with Google Fast Pair, a Beats Android app, and Google-account-based device switching features that make setup and daily use unusually smooth for non-Apple phones, even though Bluetooth codec options remain basic and some advanced features are still more iOS-centric.

Android support is strong, and Snapdragon-based phones can unlock aptX Lossless, but many popular Android devices cannot access the highest-bitrate Snapdragon Sound modes. Even so, several reviews note they still sound very good on non-compatible phones.

Android users benefit most thanks to LDAC support and the full Soundcore app feature set; LDAC can reduce battery life and is not available on iPhone.

Android support is strongest for Snapdragon Sound-capable phones where higher-quality aptX options (including lossless) may be unlocked, but real-world compatibility is described as inconsistent because some popular Android models may not enable aptX, causing the headphones to fall back to AAC instead.

They will pair and play over Bluetooth on Android, but several smart features are lost, including some sensor behaviors and Siri-centric controls, leaving a more basic experience than on iPhone.

Works broadly with Android phones over Bluetooth, but experiences vary—some users report friction getting the correct app or enabling LDAC, with devices sometimes defaulting to AAC/SBC.

Android use is largely limited to basic Bluetooth playback, with many advanced features, firmware updates, and customization requiring Apple devices.

AirPods Pro 2 will pair with Android, but the experience is noticeably stripped down: many Apple-only features and settings are missing, and overall value feels poor at this price. Some Android users still choose them specifically for excellent call quality, but most reviews recommend Android-friendly alternatives.
