Connecting Bluetooth and headphones
In short: Bluetooth connects devices wirelessly over short distances, such as headphones, speakers or a mouse. Pair once, then they usually connect by themselves.
In more detail: When pairing, two devices exchange a key. The accessory must be in pairing mode, usually by long-pressing the Bluetooth button.
