So which brands are safe? They only mention a few known brands in the article. Can't tell if the finding are decisive

But in general wired headphones are probably much better than wireless regardless of brand?

The entire article is just quotes from a PETA tier campaigner with no meaningful percentages. It's like saying water consumption can be fatal. They raise 'the concern' that skin contact might transfer something, based on nothing. I really hope this thread was just made for fun, you retard.

You picked that up from ... Where?
Once logged in (which I assume costs) you can access a *table of results*.
That's not science.
That doesn't tell you anything about how they obtained those results.

If I was to perform a real world experiment that conclusively proves that 2 + 2 = 5 you'd be pretty damn interested in the *how*? right? Even if I'm forwarding a claim you anticipate, 2 + 2 = 4, it's still a good idea to check *how* I've achieved this.

There's quite a large number of wrong ways to arrive at the correct conclusion...

>testing all these chink headphones isn't free, you know?
Then it's a good thing they took the money beforehand, really, isn't it?
>>
i skimmed the article.

harmful substances are allowed in trace amounts and they decided to ignore that and act as if your headphones are toxic because they detected trace amounts, basically.

also they talk about stuff like BPA. Yes, any flexible plastic will contain a plasticizer.

we have regulations that limit amounts of harmful substances. that's what CE or RoHS is. Basically every country has these regulations to pass in order to be allowed to sell stuff there.

While there's no mention of concentrations, there's no mention of regulatory violations either, and it's safe to assume that if there were any regulatory violations, they would have made that their headline. So the concentrations they found must have been within regulatory thresholds, whatever they are for headphones.

>>108181462
Yeah, but they're in a lot of plastic products, like fucking clothes, and present in a lot of other products due to contamination, like fucking food. The exposure through headphones alone is probably not significant compared to everything else. They say they didn't even investigate it, but it's not improbable that they did and the results didn't fit their narrative.
>>
>>108181780
>They say they didn't even investigate it

They only investigated the presence of those substances in the headphones themselves, and not to what extent they are absorbed into the body, i.e. the actual exposure of a human wearing the headphones.
>>
>>108182131
ok, so?
>>
>>108182142
NTA but there's simply no reason to care about this problem because

1. there are regulations in place to try and control these substances in consumer products and they seem to do quite well doing that

2. there's a lot of stuff that is simply not regulated, probably because it'd be totally economically unfeasible

there's nothing you can do, realistically. you don't even know if you're being "contaminated" or not at any given time. even if you RETVRNED to pre-industrial life and went to live in a hut in the woods, maybe it's in particulate matter or VOCs in the air from a warehouse nearby, or in the water from a factory 800 miles up stream. There's no escape, basically.

also stuff like phthalates isn't some alien substance. plants make some. you're obsessing about something because you have some misconception.

The presence of something in headphones only matters when you're grinding them into a fine powder and inhaling them. It matters less when you're eating your headphones and doesn't matter at all when you're wearing them. Like a normal person.

transdermal exposure depends on the part of the body the contact is. it's a very low rate of absorption. ingestion, and inhalation especially, are much worse.
