Radiation Level (SAR value) of AirPods Pro
What is the actual radiation level (SAR value) of AirPods Pro? Can't find anything about it.
deggie, cellular is non-ionizing also.

Hey deggie, I completely agree with you that it’s vital to question where the data comes from so you can be happy that it’s reliable. However it looks like you missed the reference that the author gave which thoughtfully even provided an hyperlink to the source which includes the full methodology as well as results. In this case the the testing seems highly credible and was commissioned by Apple themselves. To save you re reading the article, here are the links

Whilst having differing value sar’s for each earpiece may seem counterintuitive, the author does quote ‘According to EE Times, the left AirPod communicates with the right AirPod using a different technology, near field magnetic induction (NFMI).’ and perhaps that gives a clue as to why there is a difference. Either way the figures are based on credible data not intuition.
What everyone chooses to do with the sar rating is up to them but IMHO this is a well written reliable article citing accurate data.

Thanks, but my other statements stand.

You can check Radiation level in terms of SAR of your smartphone by dialing a USSD code*#07#
What does that have to do with the original question asked in this thread?
And it also doesn't work.
I suspected as much.
Thanks for your answers.
Especially pwh_!
For now I will stay away of the AirPods, even though I really would like to buy them. At least until Apple releases any official information about it.
Cheers
Sorry, I replied to you mistakenly.
But thanks for your science-backed solution - helps a lot lol.
Thanks, but actually I didn't want to discuss cancer risks of cell phones in this post. Just wanted to know the official radiation level of AirPods Pro.
I very much agree that Bluetooth is transmitting on very low power, why I was very surprised that Airpods had a max SAR value of 0.5 w/kg. They must have been very careless about the RF design?
Thank you for your kind answer.
My point was that they should have placed/coved the RF transmitting system differently. Btw, AirPods is a class 1 device (i.e. up to 0.1W;-)
Comparing to the Airpods 2:
The battery has 0,093 Wh, what means averaged 18,6 mW for everything for 5 hours.
The battery in EACH AirPod is 93MW.
You mean mWh.
Yes, did I say something different?
Sorry, I didn’t see your post before I posted. I like your analysis.
No more information from any side? No more measurements or something?
