    It’s a hot-button issue.

    A home cook was left dumbfounded after turning up the heat on his electric cooktop only to realize his wireless headphones were also increasing in volume.

    The flabbergasted chef detailed the incident in a Reddit post , revealing he was wearing a pair of noise-canceling Bluetooth earphones while whipping up pancakes atop a Siemens-brand stove.

    “When cooking on my induction stovetop while wearing my Sony WH1000 XM4’s the touch controls on the headphones react to the magnetic field from the stove, making them change volume, pause, play…” the Redditor wrote.

    “I have the same stovetop and headphones,” a second stated. “Now I feel like I’m kind of obligated to try this for science.”

    Meanwhile, others chimed in to say they had noticed magnetic fields also interfering with other electronics.
