A lab in the Netherlands performed tests on numerous headphones and found them to possess endocrine-disrupting chemicals, which mimic hormones, that can cause neurodevelopmental problems and the feminization of males. Leading products from Bose, Panasonic, Samsung and some Sennheiser headphones and other companies are now being pulled off the shelves. Notable on the list of headphones possessing dangerous levels of these chemicals are gaming headphones from Razer. “Daily use – especially during exercise when heat and sweat are present – accelerates this migration directly to the skin.”From the study: Bisfenol A (BPA). Easy to enter your body through your skin when you wear the headphones for long or when you sweat while having them on. Even small quantities can weaken your immune system, cause fertility issues and allergic rashes.

>apple is the safest but the most preferred by the target audience
>>108232831Bump, wtf razer?
Surprised?
Bisphenol A (BPA) exposure in males has been shown to cause behavioral changes, such as increased anxiety and impaired navigation skills, which are typically associated with females. Additionally, BPA exposure can lead to decreased fertility and metabolic abnormalities.
So where is the full list?

>>108232847Yes- this is real. Yes- on prolonged contact exposure these materials are absorbed into the body through the skin.Yes- they are very bad for you in larger quantities as they fuck up your hormonal balance and a number of them are carcinogenic, i.e. raise odds of developing cancer, some of which can pass the blood-brain barrier which means brain tumors.
>gymfag who use headphoneOh no no no

found in the headphonese but where exactly?Also BPA is still used for items you put foods and drinks in, I'd worry about those before worrying about miniscule amounts seeping through your scalp or whatever
