So I was reading the Ultrasone article in Wikipedia and it states that:

WHO article: http://www.who.int/mediacentre/factsheets/fs296/en/
I know a lot of people haven't cared too much about this feature from Ultrasone headphones but I did some research and found a couple of articles in the 3 minutes I spent researching which conflict with the WHO article:

http://www.buzzle.com/articles/emf-radiation-brain.html
Furthermore, I've been hearing many news reports recently about cell phone radiation and brain damage.

Could it be possible that electromagnetic emissions from headphones DO in fact affect our brains in a negative way?
*For the record, I know there exists a thread similar to this one but I thought I'd give it a refresh since it's been 3 years since that thread was active*
I don't mean to discourage you guys from using and buying headphones, after all that is the reason why I'm here
, but I just found it to be really intriguing considering all of the recent news reports.
What are your guy's thoughts or opinions of this?
Edit: I wasn't sure if this is the right place to post this thread, I figured it has to do with sound and with science so I should post it in the Sound Science board.

According to Ultrasone, their headphones reduce magnetic emissions by up to 98 percent compared to other headphones.
However, the scientific consensus is that electromagnetic radiation from headphones does not constitute a health hazard. According to the World Health Organization, "no scientific basis currently exists for a connection between electromagnetic hypersensitivity and exposure to electromagnetic fields."
