Samsung’s examination of the exploded earbuds did not reveal any clear reason for the incident, which has left users worried about the possibility of similar accidents happening to others.
This event brings back memories of Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7 battery crisis, where exploding batteries led to a global recall of the smartphone. Given the close proximity of earbuds to a user’s body, especially their ears, such incidents raise major concerns about the safety of wearable technology.
