March 15, 20179 yr I remember reading something similar a few months ago. Not with headphones, but someone's e-cigarette battery exploded in their pocket and melted their boxer shorts to their skin. Jeff Thomson

Of course it was the batteries...

There are headphones out there with integrated rechargeable batteries, and there's no way to know if was the batteries themselves malfunctioned, or if the headphones malfunctioned in some way, causing the batteries to fail catastrophically. In either case, I don't think accident investigators are allowed to make assumptions, especially to the press, without looking closely at every possibility. We are all connected.....

March 16, 20179 yr Just wanted to grab those Bose quiet comfort... gonna wait till they say which headphones was it. MSFS2020, 24, Fenix A320, Ryzen 9 9950X3D, ASUS TUF RTX 5090 ,G.SKILL 64GB 6000MHz CL28
March 16, 20179 yr I have the Bose quiet comforts and have had them for a few years as have many others for a lot longer. Mine use replaceable batteries. I expect if you bought cheap lithium batteries from the internet there would be a good chance of this happening. To me that is user error and not the fault of Bose. I'm not saying this is the case for the unfortunate woman that got burned. We have no information on what type of headset or batteries she was using. It may be a long time before you get the headsets if you are going to wait for more details on this incident first.
