Actually, you can take advantage of VoiceOver's ability to label buttons here.Do a two finger double tap and hold on the name of a bluetooth device in the bluetooth settings.you should get several beeps, when it is ready, a text box will appear which is editing and you can change the text to anything you want, flick over to save and double tap.They should have unique ID's so this should work.Worse case would be that all of them would end up changing to the new name ifthe manufacturer used the same button for them all; but it is worth a try.I just did this with two braille devices with similar names to make it easier to distinguish which one I am connecting to.

You should only have to pair a set of bluetooth headphones one time, and even if you have several of the same brand, if you haven't paired a bluetooth headset, it will show up in the list of new devices. Just double tap on the headset that comes up and you should be good to go. I don't think there is a way of renaming bluetooth devices. Good luck.

I am asking because I have several pairs of headphones that are the same brand so they show up under the same name. This makes it really hard to figure out which device I need to double tap on when I wish to pair it with my iphone. I thought it might be easier if I could rename the devices. So is this possible?
