I don't doubt the affect of RF. I deal with it a lot in my job.

I doubt that the wireless electricity will affect audio equipment as the
resonant frequency of the transfer points is not the same as the
frequency of the metals that are used to build standard electrical
equipment hence according to the scientists that have developed the
technology there is no crossover or leakage. That is also why it is
claimed to be safe for humans.

Of course now we are finding credible evidence that cellphones disturb
the normal functioning of the brain resulting in disturbed sleep
patterns among other things so maybe there is some credibility to
concerns that wireless electricity will affect humans negatively.

Cheers.
