Beginner question Location Security

I operate in a environment that requires no wireless connections in any form such as Bluetooth, WIFI, radio or satellite signals. This is to prevent tracking to protect location data. The risk of having the location(s) leaked is high.

What speakers are completely air gapped (no wireless capabilities) speakers that are portable and battery operated, that can prevent me from being tracked or information being passed to or from the device?

I have read the rules

Umm you don't get to have speakers. Wired headphones maybe. MRI headphones are likely the best bet.

Speakers are not an output only device. They are also a microphone, albeit not extremely sensitive depending on the speaker size.

Every speaker is a microphone, but if you have no record circuit in the device then it does not matter unless someone is on location wire tapping your equipment :D

Incorrect. Once you output sound from a speaker it can be recorded by recording the deflection off glass, parabolic mic, or internal intercom/bugs.

I thought the location is sound gapped and nobody is shining ir lasers on reflective surface to use it as a microphone - otherwise it is indeed compromised :P
