never given it a second thought - I use Bluetooth on mine when in gym and never had any issues - doesn't mean to say it's right or wrong but I have being using mine for 18 months or so ...

I use mine a lot - the big, over the ear type, and no problems.  

The only time I have felt an interference, and even then it was minor, was when I absent mindedly left my mobile phone on my chest over the pacemaker incision as I lay on the bed listening to some music!  And of course the interference stopped as soon as I moved the phone away a bit.

in fact it's preferred you use wireless headphones with a pacemaker, there's no headset adaptor available on pacemakers so you wouldn't be able to plug in. People who claim interference are imagining it, you don't have to believe me, just check your interrogation report. One thing a medical device records is any incidence of interference...

You know you're wired when...

You can take a lickin’ and keep on tickin’.

In fact after the final "tweaks" of my pacemaker programming at the one year check up it is working so well that I forget I have it.
