Nope it doesn't make you bald, but if you are going bald it will accelerate that due to the sweat and rubbing of the headphones.

I know this because when I was going bald and playing football (Rugby) the scrums would accelerate my issue. But I started using Minoxidil drops and grew my hair back. Nothing wrong with bald though, it looks good with a beard.

Hey bro. Nah it won't make you bald at all. Are you losing hair when you run your hand through your hair?

Damn receding hairline. Was using minoxidil for years, stopped and regretted it. Back on it and the comb over not so necessary. Also saw palmetto seems to work and I used an anti fungal (maybe the application of minoxidil over long time causes skin problems like fungal growth) which really helped. Hair loss sucks if you don't suit the bald look.
