Well, I've never been convinced of the science behind this but some folks claim that wired earplugs actually magnify the problem. They claim the wire works like a giant antenna. I believe there is a company making airtube headphones in response. Google it. Like I said, however, I'm not convinced the science is real.
I suspect that bluetooth headphones would be better than a cell phone. Of course, they both radiate. However, bluetooth is very low power -- 30 foot max range. Cell phones need to transmit a few miles and put out more power.
So, if the problem is real (????), my guess is the safest bet would be airtube headphones, followed by bluetooth, then either wired or normal usage depending on whether or not you believe wired headphones increase the problem.
