There are several iOS apps that function as a hearing aid using the single microphone in the wired EarPods (See Petralex for one app that adjusts for L&R hearing loss by frequency). Since the AirPods feature a microphone on *both* left and right devices, I am extremely optimistic that developers will create an iOS app that will be able to triangulate audio inputs for improved directional reception and sound adjustment. Based on my current experience with that app using EarPods in noisy restaurants and at concerts, I anticipate that the Airpods may well provide an affordable adaptive device alternative for people with gradual age-related hearing loss.

Yes, you can use just one AirPod. The AirPods will automatically route your audio into whichever earpiece you are wearing.

Yes they do.

They will pair with any Bluetooth device. Android phone/tablet or Windows laptop.

The W1 features such as auto pairing, ear detection etc. won’t work since those devices aren’t compatible with the Apple specific W1 chip.

But they will pair and playback the same as other Bluetooth headphones.

Yes, all audio from the iPhone goes to the AirPods when they are selected. There is no latency.

Yes, but the pairing process won’t be as smooth as on iOS. You will go to Bluetooth settings on your phone, then open the case and hold the button on back until the AirPods show up as a Bluetooth device.

The Airpods will work if used separately because they have sensors so it can detect if it is in your ear or not and it will stop streaming when it is not in your ear and start streaming when it is in your ear.
