Used to connect bluetooth devices to your phone. Each device has their own method to enter Discovery Mode, so you will need to find out how that is done depending on the headphones you are trying to pair. After you enter Discovery Mode on the headphones, then it will show up on your iPhone in the Bluetooth settings with the option to connect. Sometimes the headphone manufacturer will have a specific PIN code that you will need to enter if you see the prompt on your phone.
