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.
