In case some one owns multiple devices of same model it is impossible to distinguish them easily. In practice different entries are distinguishable by the bluetooth device address. There should be an option to "rename" the device to a string set by the used. There is such an option in MacOS. In my use case I own several Bluetooth rechargeable headsets. They need to be charged for 4 hours to allow for 6-8 hours of use. So I own several copies to have entire-day coverage. In real world the headsets are distinguishable by the state of cushions, but quite often I have one headset connected, but I do not know which one is it. If I could rename: Philips SHB7150 Philips SHB7150 Philips SHB7150 Philips SHB7150 to e.g. Philips SHB7150 - mint cushions Philips SHB7150 - worn cushions Philips SHB7150 - extra battery Philips SHB7150 - number 4 this would be very helpful. This is not really a "bug" but a missing functionality.
