Google's 'Fast Pair' makes it easy to connect Bluetooth headphones to Android phones - and it's better than Apple's version in one crucial way

• Google's Fast Pair feature will let you pair wireless Bluetooth headphones faster and easier than the old fashioned way.
• Almost any Bluetooth headphone can support Fast Pair, as long as they support the "Low Energy" Bluetooth standard.
• It's a lot easier for headphone makers to adopt Google's Fast Pair than it is to build new headphone models with Apple's W1 chip.
• The potential for headphones to support Fast Pair is far greater than for Apple's solution.

Google announced its new Fast Pair feature on Tuesday, which will make it easier to pair Bluetooth headphones with Android devices running Android 6.0 or above. 

All you need to do is:

• Turn on a pair of headphones that's compatible with Fast Pair near your Android device, and put it in pairing mode, like you would with normal Bluetooth pairing.
• A notification will appear on your Android device asking you to tap the notification to pair the headphones with your phone. That's it.
