Unchecked consumer-grade RF signals that are broadcast in every direction are insecure??
Color me shocked!
Well, if these devices required any sort of authentication (e.g. pairing) to free access to their ram and flash, we wouldn't be having this particular story..

Hah, jokes on them, I managed to fuck my earbuds' microphones so they're useless now.
You did WHAT with them?
They don't GO there....

My sony earbuds lasted 5 years before I decided to replace the batteries in them, which cost me $20 and 30 min. I would hope other earbuds wouldnt die in only half a year
Which ones? I have 1004, they got fucked in the washer

Mine are the WF1000XM3
I still have never heard noise cancellation as good as those ones. I have a couple other pairs of earbuds as well, one set for side sleeping, and one set for water. I like to listen to audiobooks in the shower and the IPX7 ones have held up great

The Bluetooth chipset installed in popular models from major manufacturers is vulnerable. Hackers could use it to initiate calls and eavesdrop on devices.
This really makes me hate that we don’t have headphone jack anymore

So glad I use wired earbuds and refused to buy a phone that didn't support them.
LOL at the big debate I read just yesterday about how better wireless headphones are, and how useless jacks on phones are nowadays...

Why are your earbuds... in your pants
Gotta feel the bass

Consent required for free use
I think that’s explicitly forbidden by the EU, and it’s a German domain.

I want exactly this set up. I need different ones for bedtime, swimming and everyday wear

Well, I can recommend the soundcore anker life A1 earbuds for swimming, and the soundcore sleep A20 for low profile earbuds that dont stick out of your ear. Went through atleast 4 sets (wired and wireless) of earbuds for each until settling on these.

Anyway, can we get an archive link?
The website also wants to drm fingerprint you

I hate that. I’m looking at you Healthline. I hate that it’s always so high in the results.

Just FYI, I would imagine anker have plenty of exploits but I appreiate the recommendations.

Ive always hated phones without the 3.5mm and won't stop even if all phone manufacturers remove it

At least you can still get adapters for phones that don’t have it
