Clickbait! This is nothing news since the report isn't publicly available. This is just the media working to keep you scared and reading.

They have updated and included the article/paper 😊

Uhm, guys, the skin is not a plastic wrap but a organ; it absorbs substances. And while some can be bad for the skin (like, causing rash or cancer), some others can get into the blood stream this way. And some plastic softeners (of earpieces for example) are not allowed in most markets for this very reason.

Not about the article but about some of the comments here.

UPDATE: The article has now linked to the newly published study. It claims a maximum concentration of bisphenols of 351mg/kg, above the 10mg/kg limit proposed by ECHA, but they don't give any concrete numbers on how likely any of those bisphenols are to actually leech from the product into your body. The average sum of all bisphenols/sample was just 15. They note the parts not touching the skin often had more bisphenols than the parts actually touching the skin, with about 50% more of those areas than the non-skin-contacting ones being put in their "green" category, meaning it's fairly in compliance with most protective standards.

Of the parts touching the skin, 68% were green, 21% yellow, and 11% red.

And onto flame retardants, 100% of products with HFRs were green, and 84% with OPFRs were green.

For pthalates, 87% were green, and less than 1% were red.

Essentially, the TLDR is that most of the things they tested either met most standards, were very close to meeting them, or technically didn't meet standards but mostly just in areas that didn't even come in contact with the skin at all. AKA, it's mostly overblown.

Original Post:
No source linked by the article, no visible press releases that don't just pretend to be a real press release while citing the articles, no official blog posts, and the only official sounding mention of this that comes from a more direct source is a coalition on linkedin saying a person at a sub-group of the broader project was gonna talk with them about it.

No stats, no numbers, just "they found it" in the headphones.

You could find a chemical well under the safe limit in drinking water, and say "we found x in your water" and make a big scare of it when it's not a big deal.

While I have no doubt BPA and its counterparts could be used in manufacturing of headphones, without any actual data, this is literally no better than when your uncle at Thanksgiving starts yapping about how the government found some data one time and that means you should never drink tap water again.

This seems like a nothing burger. Plenty of things you shouldn't ingest like BPA, plastic, and solder are perfectly benign when used to construct consumer electronics. 

I'd be more interested to hear they found something that leeches through the skin being used to create the body of the headphones.  

Regarding the feminization of males, I can confirm that as a lifelong music lister and creator, I am now a transgender woman. I do not recall having feelings of wanting to wear dresses, talk about my feelings, and drink appletinis prior to donning the cans around age 8, in order to listen to Metallica’s latest album. It is noteworthy that later CD purchases were often far less macho and included Ace of Base and Alanis Morissette, likely due to my rapidly progressing, toxin-induced feminization.

we can't eat headphones anymore?

The feminization of men

Fellas I'm willing to run this gauntlet.

Well that's all I need to know about this.

Is there a way to find out which models are guilty?

Wearing any brand of headphones, even for as little as two minutes, was shown to change the subjects' engrams on a well-calibrated E-meter.

Is it muddy bananas?

Who is chewing on their headphones?
