bluetooth android-13 samsung-galaxy-s-23

                          I have a Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra running Android 13. I use Bose QuietComfort 35 II headphones.

I've noticed that my headphones able to pair to my Android phone even though the Bluetooth on the phone is disabled:

How is that possible? How are my headphones able to pair to my Android phone even though the Bluetooth on the phone is disabled?

Clicking on "Connect" will enable the Bluetooth:

but I still don't understand how Android could see the headphones without Bluetooth.
