- HaZeust 4mo ago+1 on this for my Soundlink, but it's important to mention it has to be through the Bose app itself. I don't think you can rename devices from a pairing device's native bluetooth settings? Otherwise, I trust many folks in an HN comment section would reminisce on stories from their earlier years, where they'd rename the Bluetooth devices around a densely-populated area to cause mischief.

- jeroenhd 4mo agoI own zero Bluetooth audio devices with rename functionality. I don't think it's common at all. Especially in the "cheap, obnoxious Bluetooth speaker" category. My phone will show me a different name for a "renamed on phone" Bluetooth device, but all other devices in the area won't.
- jim33442 4mo agoThe cheapo ones probably won't have it. Any brand name will have its own app that will have a rename feature like half the time. Not particularly expensive brands either.
