Bluetooth first made its debut as a consumer technology in 2000 and today it can be found in a wide variety of devices including the best Bluetooth speakers, the best wireless headphones, the best laptops, and more.
It's a wireless communication protocol for connecting devices through the air over short distances. Though slower than the most recent Wi-Fi 7, it's often simpler to set up and is usually preferred for device-to-device transfers. With just about every smartphone out there supporting Bluetooth, it's become the default way for connecting speakers, headphones, and other devices to phones without wires. It works across plenty of other devices too, including printers, remotes, and computers.
