This device uses a puck. It’s going to be down on your belt right about where your cell phone with the same radios already is. This feels silly. Put on your tinfoil hat I guess? Even if you don’t own a cell phone, how often are you surrounded within several feet by up to dozens over people with one? If you live out in the woods then why do you care anyways?

In other words it’s a drop in the bucket.

I just read from someone else that the puck is only the battery that the Wi-Fi is in the headset. So just imagine strapping a Wi-Fi router to your head!
You make it sound like the puck being down near your groin is any better.

But there are still electronics in the headset and I can’t wait to get a hold of one to measure the EMFs that are coming out of it.

And the jokes about the tinfoil hat I don’t get it. There is so much research around this, and so many questions. Still, you think the evidence is all in. And we have an industry who is trying to downplay the non-thermal effects of electro biotic radiation because it would damage the industry if anything harmful came out.
