I think android work via Bluetooth only but the controls are pretty easy to use & understand

Yup, its a feature. I use it while driving, and i never have to look at or touch my devices while using bluetooth. As for USB, i believe you can do the same. The MENU button is also the play/pause button.

It works very well with the Android phones. I did update the JVC firmware and it made the Bluetooth stable for music. I do not play music via the USB, but I did try using the Aux. port to my phone and it worked good after I connected an extra ground to the chassis of the JVC player. You can adjust the music when it is playing via the Bluetooth. You can also receive incoming calls while it plays with Bluetooth, but playing music via the aux. port is troublesome when a call comes into your phone if you are also using Bluetooth phone capability. That is not the player's fault, it is simply the way a aux port on your phone works. You simply have to unplug the cable form the phone to answer the call. With that said, you will find the Bluetooth music capability much easer that an aux port. You can leave the car and it will pause the music and then you can get back in the car and press the menu key on the player to resume exactly where you left off. You will not even have to touch your phone. The deck works well after the update. My grip continues to be that the menu system is terrible and the buttons are labeled well. Using Bluetooth, you can go previous and next on the deck in the playlist you are playing from on the phone, but you have no other control of the phone's music app from the deck. Remember, this does not a touchscreen, hence the much cheaper price. For my use in an older car, it works well.

Almost all the controls work on Android... I haven't tested the microphone function yet, but the pause/play/next button (one button with a series of taps skips or pauses, etc) work fine. However, the volume control does not. Easy enough to get to used to, still would have been nice to see the same capability across Android as well...

I find headset controls frustrating on Android. It's been that way for a Droid Incredible 1 and Galaxy Nexus. More specifically, the response to play/pause while playing audio and the screen awaking with touch response upon answering/ending a call using any brand of headset with in-line headset controls.

Yes it works with android. I have an iPhone and my wife has an android and we both can stream music using the Bluetooth module. Just remember this is only an add-on

Apologies for the delay in getting back to you. To answer your question, unfortunately the headphones are being used on a Windows Phone device. All controls work fine on a Windows Phone device, but I can't comment on their operation on an Android device.

I have an android phone and it works fine with that, my only problem with it is keeping it in my ear. I've lost one for that reason so don't forget you have it on.

Yes, just like any USB. You can play from your phone through bluetooth also. This unit has awesome sound for its size.

I don't think Android devices can be a controller with the radio-- as there are so many different standards, it would be very hard to configure most likely. There is, however, an AUXillary input, which you could plug your output from your device into the CD player aux input. Hope it helps.

I have had a couple of issues with it, but it seems to work most the time. When you select the input through the stereo (provided you have paired your phone to the stereo and have the devices connected at the time), it will launch Pandora on the phone to play through your car stereo. You can thumbs up/down songs from the headunit and skip ahead. Occasionally, when i launch Pandora, it wont open, but i think thats more of an issue with the bluetooth being kind of flaky on my HTC One (my wife has a nexus 4, never had a glitch with the bluetooth on that).

I have only been able to use the headphone jack. When I connect the USB, it doesn't seem to access Android music files. So it will play your Spotify songs, but you will have to change the song on the phone screen, not via the remote control. Also, I kind of agree with Mr. Hernandez' answer.

where you able to get your phone to play mp3's off the micro disc card? anyone for that matter who can answer this, this would be a big help

No, it's not fully incompatible, I've been using these headphones with LG and HTC android phones and they were producing very good quality sound. The problem was with some android phones - there I've managed to hear only mono sound. The solution was to press and hold the center button on the remote control, but it's not possible for anyone to do that all the time. And as previously said - you can't control the volume or skip songs with the remote. I was able only to play or pause the playback.Despite that the microphone is working and can be used as handsfree.

When I am playing songs through the auxiliary cable, I can not use the head unit to skip or pause songs. Everything has to be done through the phone itself. (I have a HTC One)

It works with my Galaxy S3 running CyanogenMod 11 (so I have Bluetooth LE support). Many, probably most, Android phones do not support LE either because it's not in the hardware or it's running a version of Android earlier than 4.3
