Products from Samsung, Google, Sony or Bose are common among Android users. They usually don&#8217;t carry AirPods because Apple&#8217;s earbuds and headphones don&#8217;t work well with Android or Windows devices. Beats, which has been owned by Apple for more than a decade, has an unfairly similar reputation.<\/p>\n<p>Yes, Beats is an Apple company, but the brand&#8217;s headphones and earbuds work brilliantly with Android phones. In fact, you&#8217;ll find that most Beats products support more Google-exclusive features than some dedicated Android audio products. For example, there are Beats headphones and earbuds with Google Find Hub, Google Fast Pair, and audio switching support. The integration runs deep, and it makes Beats a joy to use on any Android device.<\/p>\n<aside data-block-type=\"embed\" data-render-type=\"fte\" data-skip=\"dealsy\" data-widget-type=\"seasonal\" class=\"hawk-root\"\/>\n<p id=\"elk-402ae9e6-5081-4543-bd21-7bddcfea5cb9-2\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\">These are four Android features you probably don&#8217;t know Beats products have, and how to use them.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-6 w-full overflow-hidden rounded-(10px) lg:my-8\" data-component-name=\"JwPlayer:Carousel\" data-jwp-carousel=\"\" data-jwp-carousel-payload=\"{&quot;ids&quot;:{&quot;playerID&quot;:&quot;DN0T9lx0&quot;,&quot;searchPlaylistID&quot;:&quot;G5O3oM7X&quot;,&quot;divID&quot;:&quot;botr_G5O3oM7X_DN0T9lx0_div&quot;,&quot;fallbackPlaylistID&quot;:&quot;G5O3oM7X&quot;,&quot;fallbackDivID&quot;:&quot;botr_G5O3oM7X_DN0T9lx0_div&quot;,&quot;key&quot;:&quot;E6aJDdVBhQOK9yUjR2XHDAjmCkFhHLh1aRCd14ObqmgK6fel&quot;,&quot;tintLogo&quot;:true,&quot;useSearchPlaylist&quot;:false,&quot;enabled&quot;:true},&quot;signPostingEnabled&quot;:true,&quot;signPostingLinkEnabled&quot;:true,&quot;waitForAdLoad&quot;:false}\">\n<div class=\"flex flex-nowrap items-center justify-between gap-3 bg-zinc-900 px-(14px) py-3\" data-jwp-carousel-header=\"\">\n<div class=\"flex min-w-0 shrink items-center\"><span class=\"inline-flex items-center gap-1.5 text-sm font-article-heading capitalize leading-5 text-white whitespace-nowrap\"><span class=\"jwp-carousel-title-mobile\"\/><span class=\"jwp-carousel-title-desktop\">Latest video from<\/span><span class=\"jwp-carousel-brand inline-flex items-center\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"aspect-video w-full min-h-(200px) lg:min-h-(330px) relative overflow-hidden bg-black\" data-jwp-carousel-container=\"\">\n<div class=\"absolute inset-0 size-full items-center justify-center bg-white\" data-jwp-carousel-fallback=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/flexiimages\/c8t5znsqpd1648225513.svg\" loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/flexiimages\/c8t5znsqpd1648225513.svg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/flexiimages\/c8t5znsqpd1648225513.svg\" class=\"rounded-(var(--image--border-radius,0)) max-h-12 w-auto\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<aside data-component-name=\"Recirculation:ArticleRiver\" data-recirculation-type=\"inline\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"Trending Bar\" data-nosnippet=\"\" class=\"clear-both pt-2 pb-0 mb-4\">\n        <span class=\"&#10;

Simply turn on a set of supported wireless headphones or open the case of a pair of wireless earbuds, and they will automatically enter Bluetooth pairing mode. Tap the pop-up on your Android device, and the headphones or earbuds will connect instantly.<\/p>\n<p>Even better, the Bluetooth device will be registered to your Google Account. This means it will automatically connect to any device signed in to your Google account using the Fast Pair feature. Of course, many Beats headphones and earbuds support Google Fast Pair. That list includes the Solo Buds, Studio Buds Plus. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/accessories\/audio\/beats-solo-4-review\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/accessories\/audio\/beats-solo-4-review\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/accessories\/audio\/beats-solo-4-review\">Solo 4, and Studio Pro.<\/p>\n<p>All you have to do is open the case of supported Beats earbuds or turn on Beats headphones, and you&#8217;ll be able to use Fast Pair to quickly connect and seamlessly switch between Android phones and tablets.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"find-my-device-find-hub-3\">Find My Device (Find Hub)<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"van-image-figure inline-layout\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\" id=\"elk-1d87a14a-047e-4888-be15-ee6df3f2348d\">\n<div class=\"image-full-width-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"image-widthsetter\" style=\"max-width:1920px;\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%;\"> <picture data-new-v2-image=\"true\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/pEb8fWUn9eZTTNUodi6T7K-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/pEb8fWUn9eZTTNUodi6T7K-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/pEb8fWUn9eZTTNUodi6T7K-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/pEb8fWUn9eZTTNUodi6T7K-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/pEb8fWUn9eZTTNUodi6T7K-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/pEb8fWUn9eZTTNUodi6T7K-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/pEb8fWUn9eZTTNUodi6T7K.jpg\" alt=\"Solo beats buds\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/pEb8fWUn9eZTTNUodi6T7K-1200-80.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/pEb8fWUn9eZTTNUodi6T7K-1024-80.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/pEb8fWUn9eZTTNUodi6T7K-970-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/pEb8fWUn9eZTTNUodi6T7K-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/pEb8fWUn9eZTTNUodi6T7K-480-80.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/pEb8fWUn9eZTTNUodi6T7K-320-80.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/pEb8fWUn9eZTTNUodi6T7K.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/pEb8fWUn9eZTTNUodi6T7K.jpg\" class=\"rounded-(var(--image--border-radius,0)) inline\"\/>\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption itemprop=\"caption description\" class=\" inline-layout\"><span class=\"credit\" itemprop=\"copyrightHolder\">(Image credit: Tashaka Armstrong)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"elk-30121c74-de0a-480f-959c-2492d67d8b10\">The same list of Beats headphones and earbuds will work with Google&#8217;s Find My Device network, now known as <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/find-my-device\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/find-my-device\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\" data-before-rewrite-localise=\"https:\/\/www.androidcentral.com\/find-my-device\">Find Hub.

For example, the Powerbeats Pro 2 widget shows battery life, ANC mode, or heart rate monitoring status. It also lets you change the ANC mode or activate the inbuilt HRM without leaving your Android home screen.<\/p>\n<hr id=\"elk-87011ec7-ca43-4909-aa52-957eedf83f7a\"\/>\n<p id=\"elk-14768cf5-85c0-4076-a419-5b30687d778a\">While it&#8217;s a pity that not every Beats product offers the same level of Google integration, it&#8217;s nice to see that many of them fully support Android features. I wish the Powerbeats Pro 2 and Powerbeats Fit had better Android support, but that seems to be a result of using Apple H-series chips instead of the proprietary Beats chips.<\/p>\n<p>Sadly, the overwhelming majority of Beats headphones and earbuds \u2013 including the Beats Solo Buds, Beats Studio Buds Plus, Beats Solo 4, and Beats Studio Pro \u2013 work with these Google exclusives.<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" id=\"elk-collectionwidget-2c3833a3b4a9e4bcd95703404e28cd3d\" class=\"paywall\" aria-hidden=\"true\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"product-container horizontal-product-container\">\n<div class=\"product-block-row\">\n<div class=\"featured_product_block featured_block_horizontal\" data-id=\"7a24b8b3-de7f-424d-9e3c-d7999f02d93d\" id=\"elk-7a24b8b3-de7f-424d-9e3c-d7999f02d93d\">\n<div class=\"product-image-widthsetter\">\n<p class=\"vanilla-image-block\" data-bordeaux-image-check=\"\" style=\"padding-top:100.00%\"> <picture data-new-v2-image=\"true\"><source type=\"image\/webp\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/wtqTYBwfLT7pwYiqzQGiAM-1200-80.jpg.webp 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/wtqTYBwfLT7pwYiqzQGiAM-1024-80.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/wtqTYBwfLT7pwYiqzQGiAM-970-80.jpg.webp 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/wtqTYBwfLT7pwYiqzQGiAM-650-80.jpg.webp 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/wtqTYBwfLT7pwYiqzQGiAM-480-80.jpg.webp 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/wtqTYBwfLT7pwYiqzQGiAM-320-80.jpg.webp 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\"\/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/wtqTYBwfLT7pwYiqzQGiAM.jpg\" alt=\"A white render of the Beats Solo Buds in transparent red.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/wtqTYBwfLT7pwYiqzQGiAM-1200-80.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/wtqTYBwfLT7pwYiqzQGiAM-1024-80.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/wtqTYBwfLT7pwYiqzQGiAM-970-80.jpg 970w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/wtqTYBwfLT7pwYiqzQGiAM-650-80.jpg 650w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/wtqTYBwfLT7pwYiqzQGiAM-480-80.jpg 480w, https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/wtqTYBwfLT7pwYiqzQGiAM-320-80.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 1000px) 970px, calc(100vw - 40px)\" loading=\"lazy\" data-new-v2-image=\"true\" data-original-mos=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/wtqTYBwfLT7pwYiqzQGiAM.jpg\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/cdn.mos.cms.futurecdn.net\/wtqTYBwfLT7pwYiqzQGiAM.jpg\" class=\"rounded-(var(--image--border-radius,0)) featured_image\"\/>\n<\/picture><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"featured_product_details_wrapper\">\n<div class=\"subtitle__description\">\n<aside data-block-layout=\"horizontal\" data-block-type=\"featured-product\" data-model-brand=\"Beats\" data-model-name=\"Beats Solo Buds\" data-name=\"Horizontal Product Block merchantlink widget\" data-render-type=\"editorial\" data-widget-type=\"merchantlink\" class=\"hawk-root\"\/>\n<p><em><strong>budget android earbuds<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>The Beats Solo Buds are a small and affordable pair of truly wireless earbuds that work great with Android phones.
