Warning about dangers when using wireless headphones

And Apple itself has also warned that users using pacemakers should not keep AirPods and phones too close to their chests.

Many people think that the radiation transmission power of Bluetooth headsets is low and not worth worrying about. However, because the transmission distance from the headset is very close, the radiation is still very high.

According to JRS Eco Wireless estimates, radiation at a distance of 1cm is 100 times greater than at a distance of 10cm. Thus, wireless headphones can show very high levels of radiation exposure that are proportional to the time of use. Even because AirPods headphones need to use magnetic fields to 'communicate' with each other, a large amount of radiation will be emitted as soon as they are opened from the box.

Dr. Joel Moskowitz of the University of California (USA) said that wireless AirPods communicate with each other through an induced magnetic field. During this process, the magnetic field passes through the brain. There hasn't been any research done to test whether this could cause problems for the brain, but it would be hard to believe that it's good for the user's health.

According to experts' recommendations, to protect yourself from this radiation, users should use speakerphone as much as possible when making calls instead of wireless headphones. Also, put your phone on the table when possible instead of keeping it next to your body all day.
