I love how there is an advert and Amazon link for these exact earbuds in the article.
$20 off, worth the potential hearing loss?
What I find particularly interesting is that it’s an ad they’re serving directly from their own infrastructure - ublock isn’t blocking it as an ad.

I have been waiting for a story like this, it was always a little fear in the back of my mind while using wireless earbuds.
We’ve had lithium based true wireless earbuds for nearly 10 years now according to my quick internet search, and the popularity of them has skyrocketed to millions of users. 10 years, millions of devices, and one finally catches fire? Genuinely I’m just confused by what you mean you’ve been waiting for a story like this.
I have a similar worry with VR. Battery could explode and cause blindness 😬
Samsung’s statement said that it wasn’t their fault and that external factors were solely responsible for this happening. What external factors would cause this?
i once suffered from a punctured lung
and later a fire-ant bit my tongue,
but neither gave me as much pain
or drove me as batshit insane
as did plying my custom to shitty samsung.
