One of the best features that the AirPods have to offer is automatic audio switching.

Audio switching on Android works in a way that’s extremely similar to its Apple ecosystem counterpart.
Your earbuds and headphones will remain connected to a tablet and phone simultaneously, but only one device will be sending an audio stream at a time.
What about notifications and alerts? To keep things from getting chaotic, Google says it has created a ranking system for notifications to prioritize how the audio stream switches between two devices.
