Why don’t Microphone Blockers work?
To clarify why a microphone blocker doesn’t work, it is first necessary to understand the logic behind so-called “mic blockers” (also called “mic locks”).
Microphone blockers are inserted into your device’s audio jack. Once plugged in, your device is tricked into thinking that there is an incoming audio signal (i.e. sounds or noises). Because the microphone blocker is not actually sending a signal, there should be silence on the receiving side of things (in this case a hacker). Your privacy is now secured and locked up, right?
Unfortunately, your laptop, smartphone, iPhone or Macbook has other hidden microphones than can be compromised. A hacker has software control and can choose which microphone they want to use. If one is blocked, they can use another. This is why mic blockers do not work. Using a mic blocker to secure your audio privacy is like locking your front door but leaving open a window. We don’t want to sell a solution that is ineffective against hackers eavesdropping on your device.
Instead, provide your employees, clients and professional connections with real digital privacy solutions. Check out our custom privacy products that can be fully printed with your logo.

Is Big Brother listening in on me?
Probably not. Although some individuals may be paranoid about the government eavesdropping on them, the FBI says that wiretapping, as it is commonly called, is “used infrequently and only to combat terrorism and the most serious crimes”. So, as long as you do not pose a serious risk to society, the chance that your device is bugged is slim.
Are advertisers listening in on me?
Picture this: you are talking with your friends about pizza. Moments later you notice your social media is flooded with pizza ads. Is this just a coincidence? Or is someone listening in? The answer is complex. Today’s advertisers have access to large amounts of data which can be used to predict your future online behavior. With this information, advertisers can target ads your way at the ideal moment. This is why it might feel like you have been bugged.
Even if you are actually bugged, a microphone blocker will not help. Hackers have software control and can choose to send the microphone reception to others microphones in your device.
