> Bluetooth Handsfree Side Effect??
Bookmark topic
I like to replace my Wired Handsfree with Bluetooth Handsfree which is Jabra BT250 reviews looks it's a good one. But how about "RADIATION Side Effect" issues like in GSM mobilephone which some reviews say their signal could harm our head/brain.
Is it Bluetooth using the same freq./signal like GSM freq./signal??
Is it could harm/side effect to our brain/head??

eventually after prolonged use, it has been known for a bluetooth headset to burn into the ear of the user

There will be no side effects of using a bluetooth headset. It's frequency is 2.4Ghz and it's extremely low powered. A lot safer than using your mobile phone. A lot of things around us operate on the same frequency with a lot more power, and you don't even know about them.

Actually there was one report about a HBH 65 ( i think) getting overheated after using it for a while. can't provide link as the forum in question is down, however it was a true report. This is the only ever negative soound I've ever heard about
headsets and I am indeed very pleased with mine
and have not (yet
) developped any brain tumors

I can't give an authoritive answer but I do read / watch the news a lot and I've never heard anything about Bluetooth devices being potentially harmfull, so I would guess that they are not a health risk.
Still, it appears that just about everything is harmfull to your health these days so it wouldn't surprise me if some boffin claims that BT is harmfull before long

the bluetooth devices has lower radiation compared to the GSM phones...
for normal Bluetooth (10m) the SAR value is 0.001-0.01W/kg, for Bluetooth Longrange (100m) the SAR value is 0.05-0.5W/kg. Most GSM phones have SAR values between 0.5 and 1W/kg.
