didnt know your android or windows laptop has lightning port

Sorry using the port 3.5mm one

who told you apple allows you to use their proprietary accessories with other devices

inb4 apple purposely reversed the terminal at the 3.5mm jack so only apple products can use the volume controls

I see.. so I’m able to use to listen only instead of controlling ?

yes

Thank you for clarification. I thought my newly bought earpod is faulty cause unable control volume during my calls

Unfortunately Apple products are always proprietary that benefits its own ecosystem only. I use this for my meetings via my work laptop and manually adjust the volume via Windows.

Wired are the best for long meetings, unfortunately.

Thank you very much for your explanation. That explains why I connect to my iPhone it works on the volume control, when I use android it didn’t do anything. TQ
