I wonder how much electro magnetic radiation they will emit...there were quite a few scaremongering videos out there about the airpods...or bluetooth headphones in general.

The issue is that most people (that I've noticed in the US) just have them in their ears ALL DAY. The earbuds/airbuds/headhphones are connected to cellular phones (and hence transmitting just to stay connected).

That CAN'T be good for your ears/brain...Not an doctor myself but just common sense I believe? Anyone has any idea...am I just tripping?

Electromagnetic radiation sounds like a scary word, but visible light also falls into that category. Does this mean it's unhealthy to be in a room with light? Should we cover our windows, turn off our lights, and live in the dark to limit our exposure?

That alone isn't a good counterargument, since x-rays and gamma rays are also electromagnetic radiation.

True, what needs to be emphasized is that the visible spectrum lies above bluetooth / 5G and whatever when it comes to energy, whereas x-rays and the like lie above the visible spectrum itself.

That’s not a good argument either. Microwave ovens are at a similar frequency to Bluetooth.

The important factor for cancer is how much energy penetrates the outer layers of the skin and is therefore able to damage DNA.

Well when the source is INSIDE your ear... That's different than shining on our skin

Where do you think WiFi, 4G and satellite TV signals are going 24/7/365?

I honestly wonder if the "5G is causing Corona" nuts will try to shoot down Space X satellites?

That's probably more likely to be done by astronomers :D

Good luck to them.

Not to forget the giant nuclear RF emitter in the sky, compared to that all the rest are harmless

yes but we have proven that one will cause cancer.

:-P

It is so they can remotely mind control us at anytime anywhere: https://youtu.be/fnd0qg4I_MM?t=95
