Study: Many popular headphone models sold in Europe contain harmful chemicals

A new study has found that many popular headphone models sold in Europe contain harmful chemicals, including substances that can affect the hormonal system.

81 headphone models from over 50 well-known brands (including Apple, Samsung, Sony, Sennheiser) were analyzed.

All models tested contained traces of substances such as: bisphenols, phthalates, flame retardants

Bisphenols can interfere with the hormonal system and affect reproductive health. Phthalates are linked to problems such as obesity, insulin resistance, asthma and attention deficit disorders.

The study was conducted by the Czech environmental organization Arnika, as part of the EU-funded project ToxFree LIFE for All. /CNA
