Listening to AC/DC?

No, Billy Idol. Eyes Without a Face.

I heard on the news last night that the plugs were carrying Lithium Battery.

That makes sense. There’s really nothing in a standard set of headphones that can explode. Maybe they could electrocute you if plugged into an AC powered stereo and something went haywire.

On long haul flights like this (US to Asia or Australia or back the other way) I like to put on headsets and listen to classical music to go to sleep to

She looks more like an ELO listener, to me. Maybe Fire on High is what set it off.

The Doors: “Light My Fire”?

I’d really like to know what brand it is as well.

I use blue tooth Apatronics for all my outside stuff.

or Kansas

FOR CRYING OUT LOUD” Ir is the LITHIUM battery in the headphones. Those things are NOT allowed in Air-freight for that very reason. The can’t be shipped by air any more.
They can’t even be safely disposed of by people who change their own watch batteries.
How many people board planes wearing watches that have Lithium batteries, or cameras, or headphones?
Heaven forbid, but there will be a REAL disaster one of these days because of these things. People will have to be asked before they board a plane if they are carrying and devices containing these dangerous batteries.

Here is the ones I use:

I think they used to be closer to $50. I really like them, I hope they don’t explode on me. The worse case scenario would be asleep on a plane like this girl or underneath your skiing helmet.

Most will not have a clue.
