      You still need the phone to transmit Bluetooth audio from. It’s not like wired headphones, or even wireless headphones, play music on their own.

      Yes, there are exceptions. Yes, I am salty about the lack of headphone jacks .

      Just look for “faraday bag” online. There’s some online stores that sell them.

      If you mean an actual cage rather than a bag, not sure, but I imagine you could make one to your specified dimensions.

    Gross. Does it still track bluetooth if the phone is already paired with a headset and not actively searching for new connections? Guess I’ll be back to wired headphones if that’s the case.

      yes, iirc phones still advertise periodically. best to switch it off when not in use.

        The issue aren’t necessarly phones. Some/most can randomize their MAC. The issue are the gadgets: watches, earbuds, etc. Can’t turn off BT there.

          MAC randomization doesn’t help as much as you might think - your phone is periodically asking out for WiFi ssids that it wants to automatically connect to, such as your home and work.

          After ssids are collected, these can be looked up on sites like wiglewifi to find your address.
