I avoid the news in general and specifically political news, but I couldn't pass up commenting on this story with the following headline: "Kamala Harris Using Wired Headphones and Having 'Bluetooth Phobia" Sparks Controversy."
What drew me to the story was the fact that the VP was bucking the trend of using Bluetooth headphones, and I wanted to know her reasoning. Maybe she understands that the EMF signals that are being sent directly through the brain are not a good idea. I stopped using AirPods and usually use a wired set of earbuds with EMF-shielding technology. Perhaps that may lead to some ridicule but certainly no controversy.
According to the article, Kamala eschews Bluetooth headphones because she "has long felt that Bluetooth headphones are a security risk." I'm not a security expert, and I have no idea how easy it is to compromise the security of Bluetooth devices. Maybe she's more secure, maybe not. At least she has the added benefit of minimizing EMF exposure, whether or not she realizes it.
So what's the controversy here? What's wrong with using wired headphones/earbuds? It's a scandal that she can be seen clutching a bundled-up cord in interviews? Some people have way too much time on their hands.

I was just considering air pods but this makes me wonder.
I've been using several Bluetooth headsets for years now and I guess electromagnetic fields have an effect on humans but as far as I know there were many studies on it already which came to the conclusion that it isn't problematic for the body.
Also as far as I know Bluetooth doesn't use much power to send music (or whatever), the thing is, I've you're using your telephone to call somebody and place it near your ear, you're sending way more electromagnetic fields through your head than Bluetooth or WLAN would ever do. Many people underestimate how much power is needed to connect to a cell phone antenna in contrast to Bluetooth or WLAN. With 5G the needed power will go down as there will be way more antennas to connect to. But I'm not researching in this field and I know only a little bit about wireless networks. So only my two cents about it :)
