Meh. So realistic attack would be that you know someone you want to track has one of those 17 models (which is hard to tell by just looking at the headphones) and never paired it with Android and he carries them everywhere. You force-pair and now you can track them. It’s pretty silly as a random attack because why would you track a random person. It’s silly to use it to record conversations because from 15 m there are easier methods to do it. I would say the risk that this will be used to actually track/record someone is low.
