I'm confused about the Compatibility section. Do these headphones not work in non-Apple devices? If so, why? I wasn't aware that there were proprietary specs for headphones. I use the standard Apple headphones in other devices all of the time without issue. What is different about this product?

The headphones will work in non-Apple devices. The compatibility is for the attached mic/remote. The microphone will most likely work in other devices but the remote probably will not.
I can attest to this, the headphones will work for any device but remote and mic are only compatible with apple products
