I have been banging on about mobile phones and those silly things on your wrists affecting our health for years now. More proof that Bluetooth isn’t safe either. Don’t get me started on WiFi routers and smart speakers. Look after yourselves… don’t choose “smart” options, choose safe options!
Recent studies suggest that wireless AirPods may emit significantly higher levels of electromagnetic radiation compared to traditional wired headphones—up to 150 times more. This radiation comes from the Bluetooth signals constantly transmitting data between your earbuds and connected devices. While convenient, continuous exposure over long periods may carry potential health risks, especially for those who wear them daily for hours at a time.
Experts recommend small but effective safety measures, like taking breaks between use, using speaker mode when possible, and switching to wired headphones occasionally. Awareness and moderation are key—technology should make life easier, not riskier. Listening smartly means protecting your health while still enjoying your favorite music, podcasts, or calls safely.
