I was looking at these because I like the looks and the price was quite cheap as well as good reviews. I was trying to get something that is safe in terms of ER. I was thinking that maybe wireless would be safer in terms of ER which by themselves they are but upon further research I found that that would mean putting my phone in my pocket where my pirvate parts are at risk. I was thinking outting an insulator say a rubber wallet in between my skin and phone but I am not sure it will do anything so it might be better to just get a wireless and keep my phone in my bag, but then there isn’t much research into bluetooth health and safety risks so what they are saying is fine now might change in 5 years time and say that oops, sorry guys we discovered that bluetooth devices emitted an unusual frequency that will give you brain cancer in 20 years time. Any help?

Bluetooth has been used since 1994 and became widely used in 2004. We just hit 20+ years of usage for all sorts of things. They don't have an impact to DNA or brain. Long exposure to the sun without sunscreen would be a bigger issue than having a Bluetooth headphone, lol.

Or, I just lied to you and as soon as you put some headphones on your brain is going to change so much you'll be speaking another language and hallucinating. Who's to say?

I was only asking because I know a person who’s husband got brain cancer and she is 90% sure it was from the air pods. You never know what else they are putting in them.
