Reading through the study, not all samples contained unsafe levels of those chemicals. It's interesting to note how many brand-name over-ear and in-ear headphones do, though, including products by Apple, Bose, Samsung and Sony.
Unfortunately, none of the headphones I own were on the list. The only IEMs they test are the KZ EDX, which do ok.
Btw, the silicone caps of in-ears are safe? Silicone is inert...
Dang, the Bose QC are marked red. I use them daily as they are comfortable. Seems like most over the head headphones get hit hard.
Researchers discovered that nearly all headphones contain bisphenols, chemicals known to interfere with hormones.
Lol, that's harmless compared to cosmetica.
