A monster with blindsight can perceive its surroundings without relying on sight, within a specific radius. Creatures without eyes, such as grimlocks and gray oozes, typically have this special sense, as do creatures with echolocation or heightened senses, such as bats and true dragons.
- Blindsight = Blinded Immunity? - Rules & Game Mechanics - D&D BeyondThere are a number of monsters in the game with Blindsight and no vision; this includes things like the Giant Bat whose Echolocation specifies that its blindsight relies on hearing (nothing to do with vision) and/or smell like the Grimlock. I see no reason why any monster couldn't be blinded but it wouldn't necessarily affect its Blindsight per se.
- Blindsight Vs. Normal Sight - Rules & Game Mechanics - D&D BeyondFor the most part blindsight is going to be the same as normal sight, except you are literally limited to your range. If you have 20ft of blindsight anything beyond that 20ft is perfectly invisible to you. You can't see the hoard of orcs a mile down the horizon currently charging you, and they are so far away you can't hear them.
- Blindsight and Stealth - How Do These Interact? - D&D BeyondThere are multiple kinds of Blindsight - based on hearing, based on smell, or based on no explanation given, and the Fighting Style version, which I think you're asking about since you assumed a 10' range, is blocked by total cover, even though this is not normally a Blindsight rule.
- Danger Sense and Blindsight - Barbarian - Class Forums - D&D BeyondBlindsight occurs in the rules section on vision and light, which describes the normal penalties for having obscured visibility (disadvantage on perception, and maybe also attack rolls), so while blindsight definitely counteracts those, it's less clear if it's intended to counteract other vision based effects.
