Well, you could do a device inquiry first and filter the responses using
the "Class of Device" value. A headset will claim to be an AV device
(major #4) rather than a Phone (major #2). See section 5.5.1 in the
Headset Profile specification..

Then, you can probe the devices you find and check for "Headset" in the
service class attributes but that might only apply to version 1.0 of the
HSP specification because the newer profile (v1.2) seems to provide
different UUIDs for "Headset HS" (0x1131), "Headset AG" (0x1112) and
"Headset Profile" (0x1108)

If the remote device requires authentication, then no.
