How To Change The Name Of Your Apple AirPods – SlashGear

If you use Apple brand accessories like AirPods to listen to audio content on fellow Apple devices like an iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac computer, it should be fairly easy to modify the way they appear under your main gadget’s list of connected Bluetooth devices. Assuming you’ve already set up and paired your AirPods with an Apple device, here’s how you can go about renaming the earbuds, first on a Mac computer:

1. Wear your AirPods and ensure that they are properly connected to your machine.
2. Click on the Apple icon in the top-left corner of the computer screen
3. Go to System Preferences.
4. Select Bluetooth.
5. Right-click on the AirPods you want to rename and choose Rename.
6. Type in a new name then hit Rename to save the change.

Meanwhile, on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, after wearing your AirPods and establishing a connection:

1. Launch the Settings app on your Apple device.
2. Tap the name of the AirPods you are wearing near the top of the page. Alternatively, you can select Bluetooth and hit the lowercase “i” icon next to the AirPods you are wearing from the “My Devices” list.
3. Tap the Name field.
4. Enter your desired new name for the AirPods.
5. Hit Done to save the change.

If you have other Apple devices that you can connect the AirPods to and they’re all signed into the same Apple ID, you should be able to see the name change across all compatible gadgets.
