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.

Just don't get a nokia bluetooth headset, you never know, it might just blow up on you for using a non-nokia phone. lolz, just kidding, still deciding on nokia 6230 or the t630, hmm... tough decision. Alright, back to the headsets, does the hbh-35 hurt after prolonged use? |

Hmm the reported overheating may be caused by misc reasons..
1. I have seen rechargable batts heating when heavy loaded
2. The transmitter elements itself may heat up
3. The other elements in the device may heat( for example most probable would be the chip doing error corredtion and compression on real time )
I dont think U can heat anything with transmited power of 1mW( 1/1000 W). For examlpe flashlight bulb is 2-3W and it barely heats )
