Why? Airpods work with Android.

Not very well in my experience. I did try Airpods for a while and the volume control doesn't work properly. It was impossible to turn them down below a level that was still too loud. The microphone also apparently sounded horrible.

Huh, weird. I use the airpods every day on the Pixel 3a and they work great, both for calls and listening to music.

Maybe android fixed some bugs?

You can voice control volume on Android.

Goodness, controlling something like volume by voice sounds _excruciating_. I rarely know where I want the knob to be and thus fiddle to the left and right until the desired level is reached. I wonder the ergonomics of this experience.

Are the Pixel Buds bad?

Their main problem is they don't properly go to sleep when you put them in the case. They'll often keep reconnecting. If they don't disconnect, they don't charge. Sometimes they spontaneously reconnect in the middle of the night and end up dead in the morning when you go to use them. It's incredibly frustrating.
