Hi friends! I hope you\u2019re having a wonderful week. I\u2019m headed to Orlando for back-to-back adventures and will be sure to report back! Check out my IG stories for all the fun.<\/a><\/p>\n

For today\u2019s post, I wanted to chat a bit about headphones.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Here I am with my wired headphones, years after the bluetooth options arrived on the scene.<\/p>\n

In college, I had a bluetooth earpiece (along with everyone else who thought they were cool lol) and used it constantly. I couldn\u2019t help but wonder if it was bad for my brain, and decided to eventually stop using it. I\u2019ve always been wary about phones and bluetooth close to my head, but for convenience, I used Bose sport headphones for years. (I loved these things!!) Over time, I\u2019ve learned more about EMFs and decided to make the swap back to wired headphones a couple of years ago.<\/p>\n

why I wear wired headphones<\/h2>\n

The Wired vs. Wireless Debate<\/h3>\n

Wireless headphones, like Air Pods, have become extremely popular, but wired headphones still have a strong following. I feel like as people have become more health conscious, they\u2019ve gravitated back to wired headphones. Maybe they\u2019re returning back to wired headphones after using wireless, maybe they delight in being old school, or maybe they stick with wired for some of the reasons below.<\/p>\n

Better Sound Quality<\/h3>\n

Wireless headphones tend to produce more consistent audio, without interface or drops.<\/p>\n

It also seems like many musicians, sound engineers, and those who value audio quality tend to prefer wired headphones.<\/p>\n

No Need to Charge<\/h3>\n

One of the nicest things about wired headphones is the battery-free convenience. You never have to worry about charging them.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re also perfect for long use since you don\u2019t have to take breaks to recharge.<\/p>\n

These are also a lower stress option because you don\u2019t have to worry about the headphones dying mid-use, especially during workuots, calls, or long trips..<\/p>\n

More Reliable Connection<\/h3>\n

Wired headphones are also more reliable since you don\u2019t have to worry about signal drops or interference that can occur with Bluetooth. They connect instantly without pairing or connection issues; simply plug them in and you\u2019re good to go.<\/p>\n

They\u2019re also compatible with multiple devices and you don\u2019t have to worry about connectivity issues.<\/p>\n

Health and EMF Concerns<\/h3>\n

Wireless headphones emit electromagnetic fields (EMFs), which some people prefer to avoid. The more I learn about EMFs, the more I prefer to minimize exposure as much as possible. I tend to be more sensitive to these things, and it was even worse when I was in the depths of my healing journey.<\/a><\/p>\n

Wired headphones eliminate the close proximity to Bluetooth signals, which is another peace of mind for EMF exposure. This is an interesting article.<\/a><\/p>\n

With long-term use, it\u2019s less of a worry for those who are seeking to limit radiation exposure. (And if you\u2019re one of those people who is like, \u201cThey\u2019re not that bad. They\u2019re within the safe limits,\u201d live your life. I\u2019m trying to limit my own explosure and exposure for the kids.)<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

Durability and Longevity<\/h3>\n

Battery-powered heaphones degrade over time and also less resistance to wear and tear. They also seem to have less technical issues. Wired headphones are cheaper to replace if anything goes awry.<\/p>\n

Cost-Effective<\/h3>\n

Wired headphones are more afforable than wireless headphones, and there\u2019s no need to constantly upgrade. Once you own the fact that you\u2019re rolling old school, there\u2019s zero pressure to be constantly upgrading your headphones. You also aren\u2019t paying for extra features you don\u2019t need, like Bluetooth or wireless charging.<\/p>\n

Why I Chose Wired Headphones<\/h3>\n

For myself, I\u2019m happy I went back to the wired headphones and don\u2019t have to worry about EMF exposure. I use the classic Apple wired headphones with my phone, and love Bose wired headphones<\/a> for my computer.<\/p>\n

I haven\u2019t been lifting at the gym in quite a while, so I typically take a class (where music is blasting on the speakers), or work out at home to my speaker. For walks with Maisey, I put my phone in this EMF-blocking fanny pack (one of my favorite things!). It\u2019s also been helpful for travel because I don\u2019t have to worry about my headphones dying, and also don\u2019t have to fret that my Bluetooth hasn\u2019t connected while I\u2019m blasting Broadway showtunes on the plane lol.<\/p>\n

Wired Headphones Aren\u2019t Going Anywhere<\/h3>\n

I\u2019m curious to hear what you guys think about this one. Do you use wired headphones, wireless, or no headphones??<\/p>\n
