Identify bluetooth device

I've a Sound Oasis BST-100 Bluetooth speaker and it's working fine and automagically with archlinux.

However I can't use it on Windows nor I can find any driver for it, so I'd like to scan this device from archlinux to find real product name vendor/manufacturer, driver, etc...

I read this related article without finding any useful command: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Bluetooth

It doesn't display a manufacturer, but maybe some of the information will prove helpful?

Re: Identify bluetooth device

Driver for bluetooth speaker? I think it's your bluetooth dongle (transceiver) that doesn't work OOTB in Windows? (In that case lspci/lsusb/...)
