Your Apple AirPods is super easy to connect with other Apple devices. And with the help of that tiny button at the back of the case, it pairs with other non-Apple devices as well. But default, the Apple AirPods name themselves as ‘Owner’s name AirPods’ in Apple Devices and just ‘AirPods’ in other devices. But if you want to rename your AirPods, here are a few steps on how to change the name of your AirPods on any device.
Most devices require your AirPods to be connected (not just paired) while you rename them.

How to Change Name of Your AirPods on Windows PC
It’s a rare combination but many people still stick to Windows PC for official work mostly if you’re in documentation work, while otherwise being in Apple ecosystem. So here’s the trick to rename your AirPods on a Windows PC. I’m using the term ‘trick’ because it doesn’t even involve the Bluetooth menu.
Step 1
Open Control Panel from the Start Menu and look for Hardware and Sound.
Step 2
Click on Devices and Printers to see all the external devices connected to your PC. Icons in this section might not exactly portray your device but only hint what kind of device that is. Windows icons are still a bit archaic for that matter.
Step 3
Look for your AirPods and right click on the icon. It must be a headphone like icon but might differ from system to system. Click on Properties on the right click menu to enter the settings window for your AirPods.
Step 4
Once you are in the properties menu, click on the Bluetooth tab. You’ll see your AirPod’s name right on top of the window. Simply edit the name and save your changes. A little troubleshoot for those who don’t see the changed name effect, just disconnect and reconnect your AirPods from the Bluetooth menu and the changes will appear.
