Is it true that Bluetooth wireless earbuds emit radio-frequency radiation that harms health?
No. A reference source states Bluetooth uses non-ionizing RF and that no specific harm has been demonstrated, and a peer-reviewed paper notes Bluetooth radiation is weaker than mobile phone bands and lacks energy to cause cancer. Other sources report no short-term negative effects and exposure far below safety limits, though long-term research is incomplete.
