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.

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