If you want to be 100% sure no data is being collected by your headphones your nest bet is going to be going back to wired. I assume that is not an answer you want but anything that uses a Bluetooth connection can be used as a vector to collect data on you. The only thing I can think of is either having your data off while using them, but that's probably just postponing the data collection. Do you have a source on what data is being collected? Would be much easier to find places you can help reduce the amount of data being collected.

    Fairly sure graphene OS wouldn't be doing it.

    Are there any particular apps that are going to harvest this data?

    I use pipepipe for YouTube / SoundCloud.

    Poweramp for local files and it's never asked for network permission.
