WaveBlock shields are engineered to reduce EMF exposure by scattering and deflecting radiation waves emitted from your AirPods Pro 3, providing safer daily use without compromising performance.

Clean your earbuds with the provided alcohol pad, allow them to dry, then carefully align and apply each shield. For detailed instructions, visit our Installation Guide.

Not at all. WaveBlock shields are designed to maintain your AirPods’ full sound quality and Bluetooth range while providing protection from EMF radiation.

WaveBlock shields do not expire and will continue to perform as intended. However, due to the nature of earbud use—frequent handling, daily wear, exposure to sweat, and skin oils—adhesive strength may gradually weaken over time. This is completely normal for products that are handled often and worn close to the body.

To ensure continuous EMF protection, we offer a subscription option for automatic replacements at 3 or 6-month intervals, depending on usage.

Yes. The shields are ultra-thin and precisely engineered to fit seamlessly in your AirPods Pro 3 charging case without interfering with charging or case closure.
