Recently I got a new Bluetooth headset, and I found that it pairs in a different way, which goes like the following:

  1. open Settings | BluetoothOpen Settings → Bluetooth, turn on the headset, and a "Bluetooth Pairing Request" dialog pops up automatically:

  2. tapTap on the "Pair" button, and the headset is connected:

    enter image description hereImage 5

I think the second way of pairing is a little more convenient. What makes the pairing procedures for the two headsets different? Is the new headset using some kind of advanced Bluetooth technology?
