The HC-05 is one of the most popular Bluetooth modules in the Arduino ecosystem, and for good reason. It's affordable, well documented, and flexible enough to handle a wide range of use cases. It can operate as both a master and a slave device, meaning it can initiate connections to other Bluetooth devices as well as wait for them. For projects where you just need a phone to talk to an Arduino, that distinction doesn't matter much. But for anything more involved, like two Arduino boards communicating wirelessly, the HC-05 is the right tool for the job.
