What about the radiation factor? is the head set made out of plasctic so it does not produce radiation to the brain? null

As with all earpieces, any radiation style signals received by the phone are not transmitted to the earpiece. Instead, the earpiece receives a bluetooth signal from the phone that is simply a radio wave. Radio waves are in the air all around us and are not harmful unless you are next to a high power transmitter. There is no danger in using an earpiece such as the Voyager Legend.

The radiation factor on this headset is negligible (less than 5% of the FCC limit) - here's a link to a document on our website that contains more information on this subject:

I just Googled the topic, now I kinda wish I hadn't ;-)

I was surprised to find a couple things:
--Bluetooth does emit the same radiation as a cellphone, however, it's at least 100 times less. A couple things to consider though. If you're not on a call and you leave your headset in, you're getting 'pulsed' with radiation -- less than if on a call, but the headset does stay active. Also, if you have your phone in your pocket you're exposing your internal organs in that area while you're zapping your head with the headset. Cellphones emit the same level of radiation regardless of whether you're using a Bluetooth headset for calling. Bluetooth 4.x emits extremely low levels of radiation while in 'standby' compared to earlier Bluetooth versions.

There are limited studies on the health effects of cellphone radiation, and virtually no studies on the health effects of Bluetooth.

This headset has a radiation factor of 147.6. I've been using it a while and I've never seen any ill effects yet but som4ttimeskmfm 09bvgjri osvns089rtjoj&&*gug jgweo njsdfks s09f8gnm 8vs!!

Yes this earpiece is made of PLASTIC and it doesn't emit radiation as far as I can tell.
