AirPods是否适用于Android设备？答案是肯定的，AirPods使用蓝牙技术(Bluetooth technology)进行连接，但您需要安装合适的控制应用程序(control app)才能获得全部功能。这包括检查AirPods(AirPods)和充电盒的当前电池电量，以及能够使用它们控制音乐或通话。
您可以使用多个应用程序来控制Android设备上的 AirPods。我们将引导您了解如何将您的 AirPods 与Android配对，并说明如何控制和使用AirBattery等某些应用程序。以下是您需要了解的有关使AirPods(AirPods work)与Android配合使用(Android)的所有(s everything)信息。
AirPods 和 Android：不愉快的组合(AirPods & Android: An Unhappy Mix)
一旦你购买了一款苹果产品(Apple product)，就很容易与其他人一起被卷入苹果生态系统(Apple ecosystem)。苹果产品(Apple product)很少能与非苹果(Apple)设备很好地兼容，作为移动市场的主要竞争对手，安卓(Android)设备也不例外。AirPods可与(AirPods work)iPhone 或 Mac(iPhone or Mac)完美搭配，但您需要为Android提供一些额外功能。
这并不是说某些功能无法开箱即用(work out-of-the-box)，但如果没有安装第三方应用程序，许多必备的AirPod功能（例如自动暂停音乐的耳朵检测）将无法使用。(AirPod)值得庆幸的是，Android 应用程序(Android app)开发人员已经加紧行动，并且有几个AirPod 控制(AirPod control)应用程序可用。
我们已经提到过一个——AirBattery，它在Google Play 商店(Google Play Store)中的下载量超过一百万。但是，其他可用，包括AirDroid和PodAir。这些应用程序中的每一个都试图为您在iOS 和 macOS 设备(iOS and macOS devices)上看到的 AirPods 提供相同的功能，但您自己的体验可能会有所不同。
如果一个应用程序(app doesn)不起作用，请尝试另一个。您使用它们的成功可能取决于应用程序或您的设备，但不能保证它们有效。不幸的是，即使安装了这些应用程序，您也不会获得与使用 iPhone 相同的无缝体验，但它会很接近。
将 AirPods 与 Android 配对(Pairing AirPods With Android)
就像您可以将PS4 控制器(PS4 controller)连接到Android 设备(Android device)一样，AirPods应该能够连接到任何支持蓝牙的设备。几乎(Almost)所有可用的Android 设备(Android device)都带有蓝牙连接(Bluetooth connectivity)，因此假设您的Android 设备(Android device)不是太旧，将您的AirPods与Android(Android shouldn)配对应该不成问题。
当然，这些步骤可能会有所不同，具体取决于您的Android版本和您拥有的设备类型。这些说明应该适用于现代版本的Android ( Android 10 )，并且该过程也应该与其他版本类似。
- 您需要先在Android 设备上启用(Android device)蓝牙(Bluetooth)，然后才能配对。您可以通过向下滑动访问通知抽屉(notification drawer)并按下蓝牙(Bluetooth)磁贴，或按下Android设置菜单中的蓝牙(Bluetooth)滑块来执行此操作。这可能会列在另一个子菜单中，例如三星设备上的连接(Connections)。
- 启用蓝牙(Bluetooth)后，您可以开始扫描您的 AirPods。将 AirPods 放入充电盒(charging case)并打开充电盒盖，按住充电盒背面的设置按钮(setup button)。一旦您的 AirPods 处于配对模式，外壳顶部的 LED 灯将开始闪烁白色。(LED light)
- LED 闪烁时，进入蓝牙(Bluetooth)设置菜单并检查可用设备(Available Devices)列表。如果您没有看到列出的AirPods，请按扫描(Scan)。按下列表中您的 AirPods 的设备列表以开始配对过程(pairing process)，按下OK确认。配对过程(pairing process)完成后，您的AirPods 应移至已配对设备(Paired Devices)部分。
配对后，AirPods应该可以进行基本通话和音频播放。Android不支持许多(Many)附加功能，这就是您需要安装AirPod 控制(AirPod control)应用程序的原因。
安装 AirPod 控制应用(Installing An AirPod Control App)
一款控制 AirPods 的应用程序可让您通过轻点 AirPods 跳过曲目，当您将其中一个 AirPods 从耳朵中取出时自动暂停您的 AirPods，以及检查 AirPods 和充电盒的电池电量。
我们推荐AirBattery或AirDroid（不要与流行的文件传输应用程序(file transfer app)混淆），但Google Play 商店(Google Play Store)中有许多类似的应用程序。这些说明将探讨如何在Android上安装和使用(Android)AirBattery，但其他应用程序的步骤应该类似。
- 首先从Google Play 商店(Google Play Store)安装AirBattery。首次打开应用程序时，您需要授予应用程序某些权限以控制您的设备。按授予权限并按照您的(Grant Permission)Android版本的屏幕说明允许应用访问每个设置。
- 从列表中选择您的AirPods 设备。(AirPods device)例如， AirBattery(AirBattery)支持各种AirPods克隆以及(AirPods)Apple官方版本。选择您的设备后，按OK继续。
- 从列表中选择您的设备后，将配置AirBattery 。您可以通过向下滑动通知抽屉来查看您的 AirPods 状态。按下AirBattery 通知(AirBattery notification)或直接打开AirBattery 应用程序(AirBattery app)将显示当前电池电量，并允许您访问其他AirBattery设置。按扳手图标(spanner icon)可访问 AirBattery 设置。
- 您需要为您的 AirPods 启用AirPod 耳朵检测(AirPod Ear Detection)，以便在您从耳朵中取出一只或两只耳朵时自动暂停任何正在播放的视频或音乐。(playing video or music)按下AirBattery(AirBattery)设置菜单中行为(Behavior)部分下该选项旁边的滑块。
- 在AirBattery中启用AirPod 耳朵检测(AirPod Ear Detection)会禁用最新通知栏。如果您希望保持启用状态，请按旁边的滑块禁用AirPod 耳朵检测，然后按(AirPod Ear Detection)通知(Notification)部分下的显示通知(Show notification)。
安装和配置AirBattery （或其他AirPod(AirBattery)控制(AirPod control)应用程序）后，您应该在Android 设备(Android device)上启用了接近完整的功能。例如，您将无法将AirPods配置为激活Siri，但您应该能够使用其他AirPods功能，例如耳朵检测和曲目跳过(detection and track skipping)。
高效使用 AirPods(Using AirPods Productively)
问“AirPods 可以与Android配合使用吗？” 不是(” isn)正确的问题。正如我们在这里展示的那样，AirPods 可以并且确实可以很好地与Android设备配合使用，但您需要第三方应用程序才能获得全部功能。在 Windows 上使用 AirPods(use AirPods on Windows)稍微容易一些，但您会发现在iOS 和 macOS(iOS and macOS)上可以找到最佳体验。
您还可以更改 AirPods 的功能，(change the function of your AirPods)以便以其他方式使用它们，尤其是在iPhone 或 Mac(iPhone or Mac)上。您将 AirPods 与哪些设备配合使用？请在下面的评论中告诉我们。
OTT Explains: Do AirPods Work with Android?
Do AirPods work with Android devices? The answer is yes, AirPods use Bluetooth technology to connect, but you’ll need to install a suitable control app to gain full functionality. That іnclυdes checking the currеnt battеry levels for bоth yоur AirPods and charging case, as well as being able to control your music or calls using them.
There are several apps available for you to control your AirPods on Android devices. We’ll walk you through how to pair your AirPods with Android, as well as explain how to control and use certain apps like AirBattery. Here’s everything you need to know about making AirPods work with Android.
AirPods & Android: An Unhappy Mix
Once you buy one Apple product, it’s very easy to be drawn into the Apple ecosystem with others. Apple products rarely play well with non-Apple devices, and as the main competitor in the mobile market, Android devices are no different. AirPods work perfectly with an iPhone or Mac, but you’ll need a little extra for Android.
That’s not to say that some functionality won’t work out-of-the-box, but many of the must-have AirPod features like ear detection to pause your music automatically won’t work without a third-party app installed. Thankfully, Android app developers have stepped up, and there are several AirPod control apps available.
We’ve already mentioned one—AirBattery, which has over a million downloads in the Google Play Store. Others are available, however, including AirDroid and PodAir. Each of these apps attempts to offer the same functionality for AirPods that you’ll see on iOS and macOS devices, but your own experiences may vary.
If one app doesn’t work, try another. Your success in using them may depend on the app or your device, but they aren’t guaranteed to work. Unfortunately, even with these apps installed, you won’t have the same, seamless experience that you’d find using an iPhone, but it will be close.
Pairing AirPods With Android
Just as you might connect a PS4 controller to an Android device, AirPods should be able to connect to any Bluetooth-capable device. Almost all Android devices available come with Bluetooth connectivity, so assuming your Android device isn’t too old, pairing your AirPods with Android shouldn’t be a problem.
These steps may vary, of course, depending on your version of Android, and the type of device you have. These instructions should work fine with a modern version of Android (Android 10) and the process should be similar for other versions, too.
- You’ll need to enable Bluetooth on your Android device before you can pair it. You can do this by swiping down to access your notification drawer and pressing the Bluetooth tile, or by pressing the Bluetooth slider in your Android settings menu. This may be listed in another sub-menu like Connections on Samsung devices.
- With Bluetooth enabled, you can begin scanning for your AirPods. With your AirPods in the charging case and the case lid open, press and hold the setup button at the back of the case. Once your AirPods are in pairing mode, the LED light at the top of the case will begin to flash white.
- While the LED flashes, enter the Bluetooth settings menu and check your list of Available Devices. If you don’t see the AirPods listed, press Scan. Press on the device listing for your AirPods in the list to begin the pairing process, pressing OK to confirm. Once the pairing process completes, your AirPods should move to the Paired Devices section.
Once paired, the AirPods should work for basic calls and audio playback. Many of the additional features aren’t supported by Android, which is why you’ll need to install an AirPod control app.
Installing An AirPod Control App
An app to control your AirPods will allow you to skip tracks by tapping your AirPods, automatically pause your AirPods when you remove one of them from your ear, as well as check the battery levels for your AirPods and charging case.
We recommend AirBattery or AirDroid (not to be confused with the popular file transfer app), but many similar apps are available in the Google Play Store. These instructions will explore how to install and use AirBattery on Android, but the steps should be similar for other apps.
- Start by installing AirBattery from the Google Play Store. When you first open the app, you’ll need to grant the app certain permissions to control your device. Press Grant Permission and follow the on-screen instructions for your version of Android to allow the app access to each setting.
- Select your AirPods device from the list. AirBattery, for instance, supports various AirPods clones alongside the official Apple versions. Once your device is selected, press OK to proceed.
- Once you select your device from the list, AirBattery will be configured. You can view your AirPods status by swiping down the notifications drawer. Pressing on the AirBattery notification or opening the AirBattery app directly will show the current battery levels, as well as allow you to access other AirBattery settings. Press the spanner icon to access AirBattery settings.
- You’ll need to enable AirPod Ear Detection for your AirPods to automatically pause any playing video or music when you remove one or both from your ears. Press the slider next to that option under the Behavior section in the AirBattery settings menu.
- Enabling AirPod Ear Detection in AirBattery disables the up-to-date notifications bar. If you’d prefer to keep this enabled, disable AirPod Ear Detection by pressing the slider next to it, then press Show notification under the Notification section.
Once AirBattery (or another AirPod control app) is installed and configured, you should have near-to-full functionality enabled on your Android device. You won’t be able to configure your AirPods to activate Siri, for instance, but you should be able to use other AirPods features like ear detection and track skipping.
Using AirPods Productively
Asking “do AirPods work with Android?” isn’t the right question to ask. As we’ve shown here, AirPods can and do work well with Android devices, but you’ll need a third-party app to gain full functionality. It’s a little easier to use AirPods on Windows, but you’ll find the best experience is to be found on iOS and macOS.
You can also change the function of your AirPods to use them in other ways, especially on an iPhone or Mac. What devices do you use your AirPods with? Let us know in the comments below.
