A community for discussion around all topics related to headphones and personal audio.
I have owned these headphones for about 9 months and today while traveling in public transportation my bag was smoking, these headphones suddenly started to self combust and melt.
I really don’t know how something like this can happen it really looked like that chip was just burning.
Good riddance /s I hope it didn’t damage anything else in the bag
WOW, I just got a pair In white Now I’m tempted to send em back to cramazon
you clearly misunderstood when ppl told you they needed burn-in... /s
sorry for your loss, but that's (battery combustion) a warranty case 👍🏼
Wtf
Imagine if you were wearing them at the time.
One thing is forsure im never putting that brand on my head again
Why? /s
see, burn in is real /s
LMFAO
usually its the cable but its the first time seeing a bluetooth burn in xD
sue them
Just tell them this happened, and they will probably be happy to send you a new pair to avoid a lawsuit
The last thing I'd want is to ever use that brand again and I'll definitely be warning others about this. It only takes one time.
Following this thread in case Anker issues a recall
Same here, I've had mine since launch
CONGRATULATIONS! Now you have an open back pair of headphones
Yeah I love the warmness of these headphones
Clearly OP has been listening to the Guilty Gear: Strive soundtrack album (the songs are nothing but flames)
Warm signature
First time I hear of this problem with headphones. This usually happen with other devices. I'm unsure I would trust this brand.
Spicy pillow went even spicier
The treble was too hot
damn! i just bought me one a few days ago, I know it kinda rare to happen but what could be the cause? I'm always turning them off when I'm done, cab the battery go like this when it's off?
Hope you get your warranty claim! And luckily it wasn't on your head!
Man.. I love wired audio because this won't happen.. But everyone's carrying a phone which comes with similar risks.
But that's the issue with damaged batteries. It can always happen.
Hell of a guitar solo
Now they are open back
Ah yes, Chinesium of the highest quality. Probably some short circuit that overheated a pathway.
apparently not just OLED's get burn-in XD
sue.
Too much bass
r/spicypillows
Did you have to put it out or did it fizzle out?
Quality control is important. Yikes!
Your music taste must be lit 🔥
Bro was listening to some FIRE beats
Some fire ass beats youve been listening to...
What were you listening to that was so fire?
Can you tell which song are you listening? I'm sure that one was fire!
bros music was so fire it melted the headphones
These Headphones doesn't held VH guitar solo in MJ Beat It, i see /s
Now think about all the stuff you have with Lithium ion batteries.... enjoy the panic attack :)
defo the battery
Bruh, link that mixtape
100% the battery.
That happens with electronics sometimes. Rarely, but it does happen.
Obviously a battery fire. This is why I refuse to wear any headgear which has batteries in it.
Bros head almost blew off holy
There have been plenty of news reports on this for many years. Lithium-ion battery failures are nothing new and everyone should be aware that they can happen. There's plenty of videos of exploding vapes, e-scooters, etc. They are rare, but they do happen. They're more likely to happen with very cheap products or with very cheap chargers (the chargers are a bit less likely because a good product should have over voltage and over current protection...or at least over current. These can happen from physical damage, shorts, manufacturing defects, water damage, etc.
Keep in-mind that the vast majority of consumer electronics with lithium ion batteries have off-the-shelf batteries that are not made by the brand of the actual device.
No brand is immune to this. Again, you don't typically need to worry, especially when buying decent-quality electronics, but everyone should be aware that this can happen.

Spicy pillow moment
That mixtape must have been fire 🔥
