If they were to add children to this ... It is normal these dyas for a 7 years old child to have a cellphone ..
Airpods use BlueTooth 5.0, not some Apple-only radio tech. What I don't understand is that the phone is doing the transmitting, not the AirPods (apart from handshaking and when the mic is used), so why measure the AirPods and not the phone? Is the claim that they are reradiating EMF?Would they be any different to all blutooth ear buds and maybe earphones too, and if so, why?
That must some power being used, for them to self-levitate!My nieces and nephews (and all their friends) all under 13 not only have a cellphone each but also use these Airpods for over 5 hours everyday - they are flying off the shelves.
What does that have to do with music over BlueTooth?Edited: For 4G in average utilization cellphones do transmit less than 10% of their maximum output power.
Nothing. Tried to edit my previous post. Point is compare apples with apples.What does that have to do with music over BlueTooth?

There are multiple problems with this topic.
Why is the phone not being measured when it is doing the vast majority of the transmitting?
Why are some talking about the other "radios" that phones use when wireless earphones/pods use Bluetooth, a short-range low-power radio tech?
Why are other BT earphones not being compared?
I once read a sci-fi story by Karl Schroeder where the main character measured his radiation exposure in Chernobyl in terms of cigarettes smoked. Every time he checked the reading he was up at least another pack.To me an interesting thread. The second sentence contradicts the first that I put in bold...
We want to measure to know how safe these are or not.
I use a BT headset when I travel and sometimes at work. I tend to be skeptical of the claims of an industry when it comes to my personal safety. We should remember how well the Tobacco companies muddied the field when it came to the deleterious effect of smoking. They had the money to fight ... and so do big tech companies.
I really would like to see independent, even amateurs measurements. This is our health we're talking about here.

In the USA 96% of the adult population has a cellphone of some sort. If they were to add children to this ... It is normal these dyas for a 7 years old child to have a cellphone .. It never was normal in the US for a child to smoke at 10 ...
All valid points.There are multiple problems with this topic.

There is no danger.
I ask utmost respectfully, but are you looking at this from only an engineering perspective?
Engineering. If you are worried about EM radiation at these levels, you need to stay out of the sun for the rest of your life.
I found FCC docs for some other well known/reviewed/popular true wireless BT earbuds.
Interestingly, these others didn't require SAR testing.
Only Airpods Pro did.
The way I interpreted these documents, it confirms the Airpods Pro do basically run at or near maximum power all the time?
Max transmit power of Airpods is 19 mW.
The others are 11mW, 14mW, 12 mW maximum but on average run at lower power - closer to half the transmit power of Airpods Pro?
Have I interpreted wrongly @Arpiben ?

before a new model can be brought to market, a sample phone must be tested and comply with an exposure standard for radiofrequency radiation. But manufacturers are allowed to select the testing lab — and only a single phone needs to pass in order for millions of others to be sold.
