I've always wanted to ask but have never dared to. Now I'm feeling up to it.

Is there any way to swap / change icons of these output devices on macOS?

The Sennheiser are my headphones and the Soundcore is my speaker, but in the status bar they invariably have the wrong icon.

@jpmens If you click on the (i) symbol of the device (in the bluetooth menu), you can change device type (apparaattype).perhaps this changes the icon too?

@doekman what you are showing me there looks a lot like iOS or iPadOS

on macOS it's not possible, at least not in the BlueTooth menu

@jpmens You're right, it's not possible. You could reset your bluetooth system, and hope it detects them correctly this time.

Or perhaps fiddle with the plist, and swap DeviceClass?

/Library/Bluetooth/Library/Preferences/com.apple.MobileBluetooth.devices.plist

@doekman thanks for your suggestion, but I won't. First, it might break something and I'm too old for breakage. Second it'll likely be reset at next update which turns it into a never-ending story.

I'll suffer through it. :)

@jpmens looks like it's not possible ...
Shame on Apple.
