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.

People have little fears about lots of unlikely scenarios, it's not that deep.

[–] redisdead@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

We've had wired earbuds for longer than wireless ones, I've yet to read a story about one exploding into someone's ears.

I have a similar worry with VR. Battery could explode and cause blindness 😬

[–] DarkThoughts@fedia.io 1 points 3 weeks ago

I didn't until now. I usually just think about some battery going solar while I'm sleeping.

Same here. 😬

I really feel for them.
