Ooops. I did it again since Chris & Carlos are indistinguishable to me.
(Note I don't see headers in my gVim window - I just see the template.)

Carlos said the apropos statement that there are more wireless earbuds out
there than just the AirPods (which themselves have been hacked before).

CVE-2024-27867 affected devices included:
 a. AirPods (2nd gen and later)
 b. AirPods Pro (all models)
 c. AirPods Max
 d. Powerbeats Pro
 e. Beats Fit Pro

Apple publicly acknowledged its AirPods flaws on June 25, 2024 in fact.
Apple released firmware updates (6A326 and 6F8) to fix the AirPods.

It's important to note that Apple *never* finds these flaws, so while the
Apple trolls are supremely confident there are no bluetooth flaws in their
beloved AirPods, that inherent trust in Apple has been shown to be
misplaced.

Google's project zero proved Apple never tested much of its code.
So you should assume all AirPods are horribly flawed at this very moment.

Witness prior vulnerabilities to AirPods as the evidence backing it up.
 June 2024 CVE-2024-27867
 July 2024 Firmware Exploit
 June 2024 21 security issues
 etc.
