How does bluetooth work? Does the phone and headphone connect to a satellite or something or does one or both of them send signals to each other?

Bluetooth is just a specific range of radio frequencies, basically the headphones send out a signal that says “I’m ready to connect on frequency X” and your phone finds it by scanning the whole range that bluetooth works in until it finds a device then it just looks at the frequency the headphones are on. Then your phone sends a signal back so the headphones know that they are paired
