AirPods 'Blew Up' On Florida Gym-Goer, Apple Investigates
Jason Colon, the owner of the AirPods was listening to dance music at the LA Fitness when he saw white smoke coming out of the right half of the AirPods. While being shocked at what was happening, the man left it on a workout equipment and went for help.
However, as soon as he got back, he saw the earphone popped into pieces. Colon told the TV station that "It was already popped. I didn’t see it happen, but I mean, it was already fried. You can see the flame damage." He further stated that "I don't know what would’ve happened to my ear. But I’m sure since it hangs down, it could’ve been earlobe. My earlobes could've been burnt."
