How can you change the name on your headphone so it will be easier to find with bluetooth?

no, you can't change the name of the headphones - I also don't see why that would be an issue.

Once you are paired to your headphones, your devices will automatically connect to your set of headphones and yours only.

Hello Nic.

It was a big problem the first time I had to pair the headphones on board a plane. Suddenly there were five available WH-1000XM3s on board. Now I have solved the problem: If you click "settings" behind the WH-1000XM3 in "paired devices", a new option will appear, "Rename". My headphone has now been renamed and it works great.

Hello @PerErling,

yes, you can rename them on your phone, but the name won't become the devices new name. If you search for them via another device they still have the default name.
