Torpedo Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 From what I read elsewhere, the headphones could have been of the headband type, perhaps noise cancelling like Bose QuietComfort, using larger rechargeable batteries of the AA or AAA type. I've used this type of batteries of Chinese make and are very very poor quality, nothing to do with the quality of the OEM batteries being used in Apple and other reputed brands products. The fault wasn't on the headphones and their brand, but on the batteries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DefQon Posted March 21, 2017 Report Share Posted March 21, 2017 (edited) 21 hours ago, wink said: Can the victim sue the battery manufacturer for assault and battery...? Given that manufacturers in China can start up anytime and can close down the very next day means shit all with a potential lawsuit by the product user.
