I think that for the headphone safety report (required by R&TTE) that there should be a Condition of Acceptability stating that the applicability of EN 50332-1 should be considered in the end-use product, or something to that effect.
Excellent feedback from all. Thanks again everyone.

No, they didn't, because you don't get wireless headphones with a portable music player. Part 2 can't be applied to your wireless headphones, and it doesn't apply to headphones not intended to be used with portable music players, which yours inherently are not. But you should limit the maximum sound pressure to 100 dB, as I advised. -- OOO - Own Opinions Only. See www.jmwa.demon.co.uk Which Thunderbird will David Miliband pilot?
