how bluetooth headphones work
Bluetooth is a wireless technology that allows for the transmission of data over short distances, typically about 10 meters. It was originally developed in the 1990s by Ericsson and Nokia to solve a specific problem: how to sync Nokia mobile phones with other devices without having to connect them with wires. The solution was creating Bluetooth radio waves between devices and an antenna, which could then exchange information with little power. Bluetooth headphones work similarly to any other RF device: data is transmitted via radio waves from one end point (the transmitter) over the air at a given frequency (2.4 GHz), through space, until it reaches its destination (the receiver). Once the transmission has been completed, the connection with the receiver is terminated and data can be transmitted further. The technology is based on a Physical layer that acts as an interface between a device (e.g. your smartphone) and a radio communication system, which includes an antenna to tr
