A Bluetooth connection is just a different type of wireless connection than your Internet connection. Bluetooth uses a different frequency and it's got a smaller range to it. It connects two devices together, so on a computer, it would be your mouse and keyboard. If you're on your phone, it's your earpiece. That will allow you to make and receive calls without needing a wire to connect the headset to the phone.
