Samsung USB headphone literally EXPLODED.

user2Cg8GnXBvz — Tue, 04 Apr 2023 03:13:02 GMT

I was using the samsung S22 ULTRA headphone to play on my phone when I noticed that the game started to lag and it clearly was the phone because the came was showing a normal 22MS on the connectivity. Then I decided to restart the 22ultra. That's when everything started to get weird. The smartphone wasn't recognizing the headphones anymore and started to say that it's a "high power usb charger or charging" which seemed weird from a headphone. I tried to connect a couple of more times when the USB literally became really hot and smoking and "exploded".

Very weird and scary situation, I would never expect that to happen to a headphone.

I'm going to call Samsung support and figure out what happened otherwise I'm going to return this smartphone.

Did anyone else have a similar situation?

Thank you

Galaxy s22 ultra - last update installed

(I have video and pictures of the USB burning)

No, I only use wireless headphones.
Might want to get your phone checked out.

You may have to switch to Bluetooth headphones if that is a reoccurring problem

Same happened to the USB part of the headphone, got literally on fire, my entire house was smelling like burnt plastic/wire yesterday. I was scared because I wasn't expecting that to happen to a headphone.

I only used it to play a game that near real time sound. Most of Bluetooth headphones has a bit of delay on them
