What would you get for android if you wanted the same features as the airpod pros?
 
Google Pixel Buds 2. I received them this week and they are as advertised. They sync flawlessly with a Pixel phone and easily connect to any device. I connected them to my Mac within seconds. The sound quality is very good, the controls are simple and you can even use Google assistant for certain functions like to change the volume.
 
Thanks I'll check these out when they drop, I love the airpods pros but dislike the iphone.
 
Get the Galaxy Buds Pro or the last version Galaxy Beans (or whatever they were called). Both will be superior to the Pixel Buds.

Jabra Elite 75T.
I have the Elite Active 75t's. If I can get them to stay in while I'm active (dang silicone ear tips) they are great, it's just a slight creep. I haven't tried the noise cancellation that was added with the most recent update.

The Buds Live (aka Beans) are pretty damn good. My favorite so far. But if someone is looking for good Noise Cancelation, then they should look elsewhere, as these are more of a open type of buds.

I dont have Apple products at this time so what features does the Airpod pros have?

I have three sets of JBL wireless ear pods, buds whatever you want to call them and two have Alexa or Google asst function. Talk thru which lowers volume to have conversations but i have to press the bud to do that. And two of them i can use either the left or right one independantly.

And would Apple airpod pros even work with Android since Apple seems to make things for their own products.

The three JBLs i have are Tune 115, Live 300, Project Rock true wireless X

Yes, they work fine with Android, Windows etc. They are just Bluetooth earbuds and can be paired with anything - there are even apps on the Play Store to show battery level, customise functionality (e.g. press for Google Assistant) etc.
