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?

Throw your phone and PC away if you are afraid of consumer electronics's radiation oh and stop using the microwave also do not go outside because Cell signal is everywhere and it is radiation. Also Sun will kill you it is a leading cause for Skin cancer. So foil your house and your skin. Oh wait, Aluminum foil has been made in a factory which has Wifi connection.

Get a analog player with hydro power and get a pair of wired headphones. but watch out for those audio Waves.

Dude, "readiations" are tested in a lab, with no interference at a period of time on organisms. If those organisms show ANY kind of mutation, then it can be detected. BT is one of the weakest form of "radiation". Also you really think Bluetooth, that is inherently sending data at quite massive amounts through objects and has included battery is less "ER" than Wired, direct, point to point basic fucking copper cable insulated in rubber that just sends EXTREMELY low amounts of power to move the membrane in the speaker/driver. Also where would this other end go? to your phone as your media driver? Which is in your pocket, receiving mobile or Wifi signal that is significantly more powerful than BT.

Good luck on your life mate XD! Imagine these people can vote.

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.

Lolz what's this, 2003? You should be scared of the sun more if you're into conspiracy theories about ER. Guess what, light is a form of radiation!
