Does any one know if the wire in the earphone can serve as an antenna --> transfer microwave to the ear (even in tiny amounts?)
***It serves as an antena for the FM radio of the phone***
OR is there a filter to block this from happening?!?!

I think all earphone wires are used as antenas for the radio. |

Hi
People have mentioned traffic as a danger, and it is true that you need to be careful. The other potential danger is pulling IEE plugs out of your ears too quickly. Because they fit so closely, they can create a vacuum if they are pulled out fast, and this can damage the eardrum. Always remove them slowly and carefully and you will be fine. |

I'm not sure about health dangers. But what I've noticed is that if you plug the ear bug firmly into the ear. it block the sound/noice around. So u can't hear anything else. which maybe dangerous when walking the streets.
Generally u won't hear even if some try to warm you or shouts at u. |
