<\/a>Earlier 2017, one\u00a0anonymous woman\u00a0says she was asleep on a flight from Beijing to Melbourne when she was awakened by an explosion and heat searing her face. The sparking Apple<\/strong><\/a> Beats headphones burned her face and neck,\u00a0and half-melted to the floor where she threw them before flight attendants managed to douse them in water.<\/p>\nApple is refusing to compensate a woman whose Beats headphones exploded in her face, claiming the Apple a1322 batteries<\/a> were at fault.<\/p>\n The Australian news site\u00a0reports that Apple \u2014 who bought Beats for $3 billion in 2014 \u2014 blames the batteries in the headset:\u00a0\u201cOur investigation indicated the issue was caused by a third-party battery.\u201d<\/p>\n There are still a few Beats variations that require AAA batteries \u2014 such as the noise-cancelling Beats Studio headphones, which have since been discontinued. The brand of AAA Apple a1045 battery<\/a>\u00a0in the woman\u2019s Beats isn\u2019t specified.<\/p>\n At the time of the incident, the Australian Transport Safety Bureau concluded the batteries were the most likely culprit and warned passengers that \u201cAAA batteries should be kept in an approved stowage, unless in use.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
