What's exactly does this do? I don't mean to sound stupid, I just don't know?

Optical output is one of the early digital signals developed over traditional analog outputs. Many devices can take advantage of the optical output from the device. Early on, CD players could use this output as a digital signal and send it to your amp for sound processing. More recently, sound bars are now using this signal. Many HD/UHD TVs have an optical output and can send a signal to the soundbar using this interface. It beats the old RCA outputs.

If you use a good hdmi cable do you need a digital optical cable.

The answer is "it depends." My Samsung TV, for example, will accept the digital audio from my FiOS receiver, but it will convert the 5.1 signal to simple stereo for output. So, if I want the 5.1 signal to go to my home theater system, I need to ALSO use the Digital Optical cable and go directly from my FiOS box (and Blue Ray / DVD) directly to the home theater system. The TV will output a 5.1 signal for web programming (NetFlix / Amazon Prime), since it doesn't do a conversion like it does for HDMI input. Hope that makes sense. If you use a home theater, you should connect directly to it using the Digital Optical cable from the source.

Does it help to connect to wireless headphones?

You will need some form of wireless communication from your audio source. Case 1: your audio is Bluetooth and your headphones are Bluetooth. Done. Case 2: your audio is RCA phone jacks and your headphones are Bluetooth. Connect an analog audio to Bluetooth converter box. Done. Case 3: your TV only has Digital Optical Audio Toslink and your headphones are Bluetooth. Use an Amazon Basics Optical cable to an optical to RCA converter box. Then connect to a Bluetooth converter box. Done. Only Case 3 requires the optical cable.

保護キャップがわかりやすい仕様

BLUPOWのHDMI MATRIXでサウンドバーに繋げてます。遅延も雑音もなく快適です。ただ線は太いです。柔らかいので配線しやすいですが重さもあります。端子部の保護カバーいつも捨ててるのですが、ちゃんとケーブルにくっついていて無くさないようになっています。使いやすい光ケーブルでした。
