There's lots of money to be made by inserting a hardware back door in your product then later disclosing it as an unfixable vulnerability and force your customers to buy new hardware which has the same but different backdoor. Repeat.
Thanks, I hate it. Vulnerable to your competitor red teaming it tho...
I had a neighbor about 6 years ago that blasted rap at full volume every evening.

Elastic would’ve been amazing (among other things, it has all songs on the album laid on top of another, playing simultaneously)
This one is great for destroying speakers: warning super loud (turn down your volume before playing) https://m.soundcloud.com/osium-1/official-paul-walker-tribute-fast-and-furious-7
Good Lord! Thank you for the warning! On lowest audible phone volume it blew me away lol
What is that and why does it exist??

Every spy in my vicinity is going to be dancing to The Meters - Cissy Strut.
A fine choice though.
Shitty Beatles & the meters.. I'll follow you anywhere
Even if these attacks seem frightening on paper, the ERNW researchers are reassuring: many conditions must be met to carry out an eavesdropping attack. First and foremost, the attacker(s) must be within range of the Bluetooth short-range radio; an attack via the Internet is not possible. They must also carry out several technical steps without attracting attention. And they must have a reason to eavesdrop on the Bluetooth connection, which, according to the discoverers, is only conceivable for a few target people. For example, celebrities, journalists or diplomats, but also political dissidents and employees in security-critical companies are possible targets.
I guess they didn’t point this out because it’s kind of obvious, but it sounds like they also have to actually be on to be exploited. So it’s not going to turn on and start listening to you at least. Definitely concerning, but I’m still gonna be listening to my audio books and podcasts with my wireless headphones.
A speaker i have from bose is always on and "sleeping" and can be connected to from the phone no matter what i do, drains the fucking battery and when i want to use it finaly its dead.. wouldnt be surprised if some headphones worked the same..
A smart outlet (and running home assistant) will solve that problem.

... and this is why I don't use bluetooth on anything.
I never have it enabled unless I am in the car driving and need driving directions or listening to music/podcasts. I prefer wired headphones, but manufacturers are making that difficult.
Because they can't sell you more Bluetooth crap if they give you a choice.
Stop buying no-Jack phones.
They said I was mad when they removed the headphone jack - well who’s mad now??! AHAHahahahaaaaaaahhhhcrap it’s me.
I’m still mad. Fuckers.
So how do you determine if your headphones have the vulnerable chip in them?
According to the article, headphones using a Bluetooth SoC manufactured by Airoha may be vulnerable. So, need to find if your headphones use their SoC.
You will need to do some research on your headphones, I guess.

I was hoping this would allow me to take over Bluetooth speakers that people use while skiing and replace their music with a PSA about how no one wants to hear their music

Or public transit. Or public parks. Or grocery stores.
Yesss. Find that sploit and please let it never be fixable. I didn't download a copy of The Wheels On The Bus for nothing.

This is why I chose to get a Corsair Virtuoso, which has a removable microphone.
My Redmi buds 5 had a firmware update available for me in the app. It could be an older one though, their patch notes suck and don't even say the date. v4.3.8.8
Alright now how do I test this out
