Kamala Harris is on to something: AirPods are bad | Julia Carrie Wong

Cybersecurity experts confirm that Bluetooth signals can in fact be intercepted. And old-school earbuds have a level of retro cool

AirPods are bad, people. I've said it for years. In 2016, when Apple first debuted the overpriced accessories, I wrote that wireless headphones were like tampons without strings - missing the crucial feature that helps you find them when you need to.

As the years have gone by, I've clung steadfastly to my wired headphone sets. (I say headphone sets, plural, because I need two pairs, one to plug into the headphone jack in my laptop and one to plug into the non-headphone jack in my iPhone. I frequently think that the people I can't hear on Zoom calls are on mute when I actually just have the wrong pair of earbuds in my ears. I don't care; I won't change.)
