Here’s why I don’t wear airpods ever.

If you’re wearing wired headphones you’re either very based or very broke.

Here’s why I don’t wear airpods ever. i think they’re quietly one of the most dangerous consumer devices. while they may not cause acute harm, the big issue is how chronically people use them and their proximity to the brain.

AirPods run on the same frequency as a microwave— 2.4 gHz. It’s very low power, not enough to heat something up, but the danger is that some people are using it for 6+ hours a day.

A 2019 review (PMID: 31551164) found that most studies on RF radiation can cause oxidative stress even at non-heating levels. This kind of stress is a gateway to inflammation, aging, and neurological issues.

Researchers think it works through voltage-gated calcium channels, tiny gates in your cells that freak out when hit with pulsed EMFs. This can mess with your neurotransmitters and stir up oxidative chaos.

There’s also evidence RF may open up the blood–brain barrier (PMID: 12948762), letting stuff into your brain that doesn’t belong there.

And here’s the wild part: your brain is tuned to Earth’s natural EMF, aka the Schumann resonance at 7.83 Hz. Bluetooth is millions of times higher. We’re literally shoving high-frequency noise into the most EM-sensitive organ in our body.

One study (PMID: 739990) showed even ultra-low RF altered human brainwaves. The theory? These waves form standing patterns in the skull that interfere with your natural rhythms.

So no, this isn’t a panic post. Just a reminder: science shows reason for concern, not hysteria. Most safety standards are based on heat, not the electrical sensitivity at which we operate. It’s not worth risking your brain over
