Apple's "AirPods" earphone was burned in the ear of a US citizen to explode immediately, according to the 9to50Mac website.
"This incident is the first recorded in the United States for the explosion of AirPods headphones while in use," the site said.
"I had the AirPods in my ear when I was training in a gym, and suddenly I felt a foul smell coming from the earpiece, and I realized that the smoke was coming out of it, I pulled it right away and threw it on the ground and went out," said victim Jason Clunes of Florida. To ask for help, and when I returned I was surprised that it exploded and burned. "
"I do not know what would have happened to my ear if I had not pulled the headset in time, maybe I would have lost part of my ear. I need assurances that it will not happen again," he said.
It is reported that Apple has continued with the young man mentioned to determine the circumstances of the incident and begin to investigate the causes.
