Are headphones dangerous?

Living in a world full of technology, you have probably see people with headphones everywhere. It is very common to see people walking trough the streets with headphones on, or at an airplane, train or bus. Even while eating, working or doing homework. It practically part of our face. But what we don’t know is that in some cases, it could be very dangerous.

Mohd Aidi Azzhar Zahrin, a 16 year old boy from Malaysia was found dead with blood in his ears. The cause of his dead was electric discharge. He was using his headphones that were connected to the cellphone, witch was also charging at the same time. This is something we don’t hear normally. Honestly is the first time I hear that something like this happened.

In my opinion, I think this happened because the headphones where connected to the cellphone and the phone to electricity, so it was too much electricity going at the same time. But now, for example the newest iPhones doesn’t have an entrance for the headphones. The entrance for the headphones is the same one for the charger. So it is impossible to do both things at the same time. Also, the air pods. witch are wireless.  This prevents this kinds of tragedies. In my opinion, this will not affect any business that sells this kind of products. This is a strange case, that probably happend because of the quality of the devices. I wouldn’t stop using headphones because on that and thanks to the Apple updates, I am save.
