has anyone done a study about long term exposure to bluetooth near your head yet?

I use bluetooth headphones, they were $120 from gamedude. Crap quality sound for the price and the fact they're advertised as 'stereo gaming headphones with microphone' but infact a more accurate description is "hissing stereo headphones without mic, or hissing mono headphones with mic that I can only activate on a fluke by mashing all the buttons"

I'm sure they will, and the results will be the same as all those 90's mobile phone studies, it gives you cancer and tumours.

For my phone, I use a bluetooth earpiece for convenience and to reduce EMF next to my head. I have enough brain problems, I don't need a f***ing tumor. I tried wired setups but they're just a pain to get hooked up with.

I did some reading on it, and bluetooth is a much lower-rated device than your phone. This makes sense when you think about it - bluetooth can broadcast about ten feet, your phone is roaring away at a tower kilometers away. Scary when you think about it, that Ernie Teo guy (brain surgeon) reckons you should hold a phone at arms length when in use haha.

To save power most bluetooth devices when not actively in use also don't transmit much at all, just a small 'keep alive' signal to the device.

Replacing normal wired headphones for a PC or something with bluetooth would up your exposure though, as you could have it active for hours on end.

Don't they recommend you use a hands free device with your phone as much as possible to keep it away from your head?

I always wondered how safe those wireless computer/tv headphones were back when they first came out but I think they just work by infra red don't they? Or are they RF?

Depends on the class, mine's got a ~100m range.

Everything gives you cancer.

even sex

otorola seems to have targeted these headphones at commuters, as further noise reduction is achieved with the use of a very tight headband. This headband is lined with a scratchy, synthetic piece of material that makes resting them on the back of your neck when you’re not using them a bit of a chore.

A side effect of their design is that your ears get hot very quickly. The length of a movie is about the limit that you can wear them without wanting to take them off, any more than that and they become uncomfortable to the point of distraction. On that basis they have just limboed under the bar of wearability.

Comments Mooby?

Personally that would s*** me to tears!
Have you used large headphones before while snow boarding? Do they fall off? How do you adjust them and s*** with huge gloves on etc!?

Isn't it pretty well established that the radio waves eminating from these devices are physically too big to damage living cells?
