Bluetooth Earbuds

In today’s multitasking world, are you even doing it right if you’re not constantly connected via Bluetooth? When Bluetooth earbuds first showed up on the scene, it seemed like everyone was suddenly talking to themselves. And, why not? Now you can shop, work, or even hit the gym without having to hang up on your mom or best friend.

Bluetooth can definitely make your life a little bit easier, but there could be hidden consequences that can have a big impact on your health. Bluetooth is, essentially, Wi-Fi for individual connections, allowing two devices to share data over RF (radio-frequency) radiation. In recent years, the World Health Organization has stated that they consider RF radiation a “possible carcinogen,” meaning that they believe it may cause cancer.

That’s definitely not something you want in your ear all day. To reduce your exposure to RF radiation, stick to regular, wired earbuds. You might not look as fashionable, but you also won’t be pummeling your head with RF radiation for hours on end.
