While using an iPhone, how do I find out what a paired/connected device's mac address is.
And to be specific, the device is a type of headset, with no user accessible interface, and no address on the device itself.
iPhone X
Hi,
For the rare things that I believe to know about iOS (please others confirm/disconfirm), if two iPhones scan the same peripheral, the two users will see different UUIDs. iOS generates the UUID for the device and hides its MAC address.
This has worsened yet: starting from iOS 11, even specialised apps can’t view MAC addresses any longer.
If this "feature" affects your business, or even your home network, please contact Apple: https://www.apple.com/feedback/
Sure this won't help... (but at least it's not me who have decided to implement this on our phones...)
PS: For your particular case, try to follow BobTheFisherman's advices.
Regards.

Look on the box the device came in or look on the bottom or elsewhere on the device.
Hi,
Try this:
You don’t need to know the MAC address.
Tap Settings >> tap on Bluetooth >> turn Bluetooth On.
Connect the device to the iPhone.
Turn on the device >> Bluetooth On.
.
Some Readers have reported that they needed to hold reset on certain devices for as long as ten seconds to get them to start over.
no reset button
How do I find the MAC address of a paired bluetooth device?
