What features are missing when using Android? I'm going to switch from Android to iPhone when the next generation comes out but was thinking about getting airpods before I get an iPhone. I was curious on what features require the iPhone. I think I am mostly interested in the auto pause when taking them out of your ear and the environment-aware noise cancelation
Imo, none of the missing features were crucial or dealbreakers. The ones off the top of my head:
1. Initial pairing by simply opening the case instead of doing it through bluetooth settings (only done once anyways).
2. To check the battery, you need to install a separate app.
3. Activating Siri through a button press on airpods.
4. Single airpod listening mode.
5. Automatic ear detection (according to the article I read, cannot remember whether that was the case back when I actually used it).
As for noise canceling controls and such, you might have to do some googling, because I only tested Android with original airpods, before pro version was available. But I have a few friends who bought pros for their Android phones specifically for noise canceling, so I assume it works fine.
