Hi : ) I have the Ultrasone Headphones that have the maximum amount of EMF
reduction (the Pro line) - there is a version that blocks about 70% and one
that blocks about 97% (this is the Pro line). They are expensive, but for
me worth it because I can use headphones again. Also they are really
durable and I am very hard on material objects! And they fold up for
carrying.

The iCans were invented for use w/ mp3 players. Don't know how much emfs
they shield, but if they are as good as the Pro Headphones, I wish I could
afford to buy them because the downside to the pro headphones is they're not
made for walking around- they're the size of stereo headphones- people would
definitely look at you funny.

They are the "real deal". They are primarily made for radio djs, and people
in the music and film industry whose work requires them to wear headphones
for hours and hours. I got them from a film company in Los Angeles. As
noted, they are internally shielded with Mu metal- the only thing I am aware
of that really does block emfs.

I have a trifield meter and tested them and a pair of headphones belonging
to my husband. The louder the sound coming out of any headphone, the higher
the electric and the magnetic field will be. That said, the regular
headphones had extremely high emfs- I remember the magnetic field was at
least 100 milligauss. The Ultrasone was 0 milligauss, even if I turned the
music up to the loudest it would go.

Best,

Taliesen W.
