Best of all, the paired accessory is saved to your Google account for quick pairing with other Android devices.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"--U --cb\">\n<p>Now, Google has announced new technology built on top of Fast Pair that switches between audio from different devices based on your actions.  The tech takes different types of audio categories into account, such as a phone call, a simple notification, and media playback.<\/p>\n<h2>How it works and when to expect it<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cSo for example, if you&#8217;re watching a video on your tablet and you receive a notification on your phone, your headphone audio will not switch to your phone.  But if you receive a phone call, your headphone audio will make the switch,\u201d Google explains on its blog. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"--U --cb\">\n<p>The company adds that a notification will appear on the second device after switching to it, allowing you to switch back to the original device with one tap.  Google further states that headphones with audio switching and multi-point support can connect to two Bluetooth devices at a time.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>More reading:<\/strong> The best true wireless earbuds worth buying<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"--U --cb\">\n<p>The first product to ship with this new audio switching support is the Pixel Buds Pro, but the company says select Sony and JBL headphones will get the capability in the coming weeks as well.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"--U --cb\">\n<p>\u201cAudio switching is available between Android devices to start, with plans to expand to more of your favorite platforms and devices over time,\u201d the company concluded.  So we&#8217;re guessing Chromebooks, Google TV devices, and connected devices will get in on the action down the line.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><button type=\"button\" class=\"--9i --g --h\">Comments<svg class=\"--ed\" viewbox=\"0 0 1780 1017.4\"><path d=\"M1742.9 37.2l-.3-.3c-49.6-49.4-129.8-49.2-179.2.3L890.5 710.4v.2L216.7 37.4C193 13.9 160.9.7 127.5.6 57.3.4.2 57.2 0 127.5c-.1 33.8 13.2 66.3 37.1 90.2l768 766.3c50.1 45.8 127.3 44.2 175.4-3.7l762.4-763c49.5-49.8 49.5-130.3 0-180.1z\"\/><\/svg><\/button><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TL;DR Google has announced new audio switching technology built on its Fast Pair feature.
