    I remember back when Bluetooth headphones were brand new as were the many head/ear tumours before they downgraded the signal to be less strong.

    This is why I wait about 5 yrs after the test study subjects (tech enthusiasts) are still standing before I even chance a new technology

      Do you have a link to something I can read about this bluetooth tumors thing?

        Are you seriously asking me to send you the tumour they pulled out of my friends head cuz they throw that stuff in the bin. Be better than this.

        And for your own sake look up 123 classes of Bluetooth and it’s history. For YOUR own sake. Look after yourself. You’re not my job. Btw you’re welcome.

          Well, that would be a better source than your ass, which is where it’s seeming like you got that info from, lol

          You sound insane and like an asshole.

          And yeah I looked into the search terms you described and when I found nothing I looked at other ones. The power difference was more due to them not having a sleep mode so it was either using full power or unable to receive any signal. And yeah it’s always been no ionizing radiation which may or may not be bad for you but that’s a question defined by the fact that researchers have been unable to prove either way. Typically in science that means it’s either not the case, there’s some link elsewhere, or it’s such a small influence it could be mistaken for random noise.

          I was asking genuinely because I already did a search and could not find any information definitively linking Bluetooth and cancer. I think your response was out of proportion.
