Critical Bluetooth vulnerability in Android

Have the same-ish, and it's pretty interesting. I think the BT communication is from phone to the right earbud, then something else (likely on 2.4GHz too) from right to left earbud.

When I switch on the office lights, enter the lift, open the fridge door (light again) and similar things, the left drops out briefly (on the order of 100ms).

Yeah, when I walk through the theft detector at one of my regular grocery stores, my left earbud falls out as I pass through the magnetic field produced by the detector.

It makes some analog radio noises when they fade out and back in, so clearly something entirely different from BT.

The right earbud plays music as normal through it all.
