        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

        I do have those, though.

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

          Many people have sony headphones with those chips.

        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.

      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.
