| Wireless Headphones - Are they safe? Hey Guys, In the past 5 months, I have gone through no less than 9 pairs of cheap headphones. Why? I just happen to stand up and walk away whilst forgetting I've got the headphones on.... Snap goes the wire... Therefore I've come to like the idea of getting a 'wireless pair'. However, I have read over for instance, the Stuart Report, and I am somewhat concerned about having a wireless emitter so close to my head  My question is, are the bog standard wireless headphones on the market safe? Do they give out a strong enough level of radiation to cause considerable concern? New Sig on the Way... |

| i'd have thought they'd be radio waves rather than anything with a higher frequency... and as far as i know that should be safe enough, but if they do use a higher frequency then maybe try not to wear them too much?  |

| I'm not sure about you directhex, but last time I checked, IE didn't emit radiation, and Firefox's market share went down......  New Sig on the Way... |

| Tee Hee - IE all the way (except for 1 thing that doesn't seem to work for me in IE right now) And yes they are safe - I wouldn't worry about it at all I've got some philips ones but I never use them as I'm too lazy to charge them - that may be a bigger concern for you. |

| Headphones are receive-only, and the transmitters in the base unit are low-range and fairly weak so they won't fry your brain. Or you can buy a nice pair of wired headphones with a detachable cord. |

| They are safe aslong as you don't try to sleep with them on. They hurt your girlfriend when you roll around. Also don't wear the big'uns for too long cos the put a lot of pressure on your ears with the battery pack. Originally Posted by Errr...me 6014 3DMk 05
