Method and System for Switching between Multiple Communication Connections for Audio Streaming

A first electronic device comprising:

• at least one processor;
• and
• memory having instructions which when executed by the at least one processor causes the first electronic device to:
• establish a first wireless connection with a headset that is worn on a head of a user, while the headset is communicatively coupled with a second electronic device via a wired connection and a second wireless connection, wherein the headset is configured to receive a first audio signal via the wired connection for audio playback through at least one speaker;
• determine that the headset is to play back a second audio signal;
• and
• transmit, via the first wireless connection, the second audio signal to the headset, wherein the headset is configured to play back the second audio signal through the at least one speaker instead of the first audio signal, while maintaining the first wireless connection with the second electronic device.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium having instructions which when executed by at least one processor of an electronic device causes the electronic device to:

• receive an audio signal, wherein the electronic device is communicatively coupled with 1) a first source device via a first wireless connection and a wired connection through which the audio signal is received, and 2) a second source device via a second wireless connection;
• use the audio signal to drive at least one speaker of the electronic device;
• receive, via the second wireless connection from the second source device, a subsequent audio signal;
• and
• responsive to receiving the subsequent audio signal and without user intervention, use the subsequent audio signal to drive the at least one speaker instead of the audio signal.
