Interviewer had corded Apple Earbuds - Red flag?

I recently had an interview for a Summer Analyst 2023 position at a Top Boutique (FTP/ Straton Oakmont/ SVB/ PWP), and my interviewer (VP) was wearing corded Apple Earbuds. Is this a red flag? If he's a VP and not able to afford Airpods, should I continue with the interview process or ghost them? Any and all advice is welcome.

Also if you're on calls all day there's no time to charge airpods between meetings.

 

When you actually spend the day talking to clients, you can't keep your earbuds charged.

 

Mollitia quasi voluptas voluptatem fugiat. Laboriosam labore assumenda consequatur nostrum. Nam molestias quo totam ad.
