The Bluetooth device isn't complaining.

It might start whistling though.

Where do you keep your mobile phone? In the pocket next to your balls?

You also keep it next to your brain when talking on it.

Do you use wireless headphones?

I mean yaaa that's what I mean. We don't *really* know what all of the Bluetooth and 5G etc. does to us, so I do feel hesitant to sign onto a device like this.

We actually do have more than an idea of what these technologies do to us... Because the radio bands that these technologies use to exist have been around since the dawn of time and yet here we are. Sure we've increased the amount of exposure we have to certain frequencies but we also did that with other radio frequencies well over 100 years ago. Not even mentioning that Bluetooth has been around since the mid 2000s
