I used to pair my Bluetooth headset to my iPhone in the "standard" way using the Settings app. The pairing goes like the following: 1. open Settings | Bluetooth, and turn on the headset: [![enter image description here][1]][1] 2. wait for the headset to appear, and tap on its button: [![enter image description here][2]][2] 3. the headset is connected: [![enter image description here][3]][3] 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 | Bluetooth, turn on the headset, and a "Bluetooth Pairing Request" dialog pops up automatically: [![enter image description here][4]][4] 2. tap on the "Pair" button, and the headset is connected: [![enter image description here][5]][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?
