I hate that they didn't physically cut these devices open to show us the internals! I hate that they ride a bike off into the middle of nowhere to demonstrate that there is a bluetooth device when beinging the device that doesn't show up when they leave it at home! I hate that they don't show to popularity of wired vs wireless devices of the same type! I hate that they don't show the cost of manufacturing both types of devices! I hate that they don't have so much as a single tangible anecdote as to the effects of such an adapter! And most of all I hate that they think this is a good topic to post about when nobody else gives a shit enough to do any of these things either!

The only scam I see here is OP presenting this as something that benefits us to think about! Again, where is the benefit? What is the tool? Where are the anecdotes about this product? Or better yet, who is taking the time to reproduce an actual study on the effects of gadiation exposure? Does OP actually care? Or does OP just like being able to half assing something and know that nobody else will bother to meet his level of effort?

If you prefer uncompressed audio or have high end headphones you'll need a wired dongle to hook it up to your phone. I don't know how much money OP has but I wouldn't cut up two devices just to prove a point. There's no need to tear them apart: The instructions tell you it only works with Bluetooth enabled.

There are many reasons to care about this: Cheap Bluetooth chips won't last long, won't deliver the audio you expect, won't support higher bandwidth/lower compression codecs and may interfere with your WiFi because they're on an overlapping spectrum without being certified to behave well around other devices.

No need to be obsessive about your EMF exposure.

Ohhhh... Rusty is obsessive about his EMF exposure. That's the only reason I was replying. All the other stuff you are talking about is very reasonable to be upset at and post about. I really thought we were talking about the same thing. Do we understand eachother now, or is there still an issue?

Oh, so am I. I mostly use wired headphones/IEMs, disable WiFi and airplane mode my devices at night. Been too deep into the health rabbithole not to. Heavily into Jack Kruse, Robert O Becker, and the likes.

I get where you were coming from now and that the EMF thing seems to have been a major factor in your initial note.

If you're curious, this is a good intro into the topic, just in case: https://youtu.be/TcbuqQd57rY
