How does my 5V1A bluetooth headphones draw 1A from my 5V2A charger when it’s charging?

How does it draw the exact current it needs? Is it as simple as that because my headphones just have resistance of 5 ohm?

And also, my 5V2A charger can charge any 5V devices that draw current equal to or below 2A right?

Yes, and yes. The current drawn is determined by the resistance of the device drawing it, regardless of how much current the power supply could produce without a drop in voltage.

Edit – to be clear this applies to dumb chargers/power supplies, not things with circuits that are able to switch over to trickle charging, shut off or adopt some other strategy depending on the device it is supplying.
