This is about the quickest way to switch your AirPods from the device to which they’re currently connected to another.

You’ll likely know most of these shortcuts, but worth a scan. The first one is especially worth a look, using a quick tap in the Control Center AirPlay icon to quick-switch your AirPods to your iPhone or iPad.

Of course, you can also shorten this up a bit more with a Shortcut, but not sure that would be any quicker, time wise.
