A concerning incident involving Samsung's TWS earbuds has recently come to light. A woman in Turkey lost her hearing due to the explosion of her Galaxy Buds FE. Reports emerged on the Samsung Turkey community forum about this harrowing experience, where a user described how his girlfriend’s earbuds exploded without warning.

Samsung's Response

In light of the explosion, Samsung stated they conducted an investigation but found no definitive reason for the failure, which has left earbuds users concerned about safety. Users took to social media criticizing Samsung's profit-centric approach over user safety.

Potential Risks with Lithium-Ion Batteries in Earbuds

Similar to smartphones, earbuds utilize lithium-ion batteries that can be risky if not handled correctly. Users are advised to be cautious and inspect their earbuds for excessive heat prior to usage, which could indicate a short circuit. Furthermore, while many earbuds are marketed as waterproof, any leakage can lead to hazardous short-circuiting.
