Of course you'll get some radiation-kooks who say that a wired headset amplifies rather then reduces the risk as it not only carries the radiation up to your ear, but it acts like an antenna and picks up additional radiation and channels it to your ear too.
Personally, I'm waiting for Penn and Teller to take on the cell phone radiation kooks (And if anyone misses the reference, see
