Exploiting the IKKO Activebuds “AI powered” earbuds (2024)
So my journey with these earbuds started after I saw them on this Mrwhosetheboss video about pointless tech. This device seems to be also popular on TikTok. My suspicions were confirmed, this runs android. So of course i went ahead and bought them. 245 euros later... and they finally arrived!
The ChatGPT animation looks way too similar to the actual app and OpenAI could probably get them in legal trouble for stealing their brand identity. And while you can open the native android settings app, clicking the build number 7 times does not enable developer mode. I am giving up, but if anyone else wants this company to fix this, be my guest.Also if you liked this deep dive, consider supporting me so i will be able to convince myself that buying more strange android devices is worth it lol https://ko-fi.com/mgdproductions
