    Sony WH-1000XM4/5/6

    I don’t have one of those, but they’re pretty popular as headphones with good ANC.

    Jlab Epic Air Sport ANC

    Oh, I do have those, though.

      Yeah. I have thr previous version of the WH which seems not affected, but I also have the WF 3 which unfortunately seems to be.

    Damn that’s pretty big, hopefully they update and give a final list of affected devices. Not to mention, gotta pray the devices will see software updates to try and mitigate it.

    Guess I’m lucky to have broken the mics on mine by accidentally throwing them in the wash?

  You will need to do some research on your headphones, I guess.

  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.
