Is the power of AirPods Pro 2 radiation limited enough to wear it all day?

Is the power of AirPods Pro 2 radiation limited enough to wear it all day? I don’t have to fear cancer or something?

AirPods, just like all other Bluetooth headphones have no evidence of causing cancer. The energy of the electromagnetic waves is no more significant than the radiation given off by almost all electronic devices. If there is any increase in risk of cancer due to Bluetooth devices, it is so tiny that it hasn’t been been able to be scientifically backed and ultimately won’t make any difference to your chances of getting cancer. The radiation that you refer to is electromagnetic radiation ( the same type of radiation that allows us to see visible light, allows for microwave ovens to exist, and for radios to work). So if you ever listen to a radio in your car, or use a microwave, using Bluetooth headphones of any kind is pretty much just as risky. Even listening to music all day, everyday, one trip to the doctor for an x-ray would expose you to more radiation than AirPods ever could. Generally speaking, it is very, very rare that you’d ever unknowingly be exposed to radiation levels that could be considered significant to your health.


TLDR: No, there is no where near enough energy to have any perceptible impact on your health.
