Has to be a constructed story. I can't imagine earbud wires carrying enough current to melt plastic before burning themselves out. Even if they were plugged directly into a light socket.
Then imagine the transformer in a charger shorting out and shooting 110 or 220 VAC into the battery of a cell phone, ipod, or whatever, likely just fry the charging diode, maybe explode the Lithium battery, but earbuds? That's one that doesn't even need Mythbusters or Snopes. Edit: Yep, found it on Snopes: unproven --- If ballet was easy, it would be pointe-less ... Copied to Clipboard!

I'd find this easier to believe if the headphones were being charged.
Through the audio jack though? Absolutely no way in hell. Some part of this story is made up or reported wrong. Those tiny wires would burn away (and just about everything in the phone would short) before anything remotely lethal would pass through. dancer62 posted...

"the cable was probably faulty"

"the cable was probably faulty" Right... it can do exactly two things, short out and stop working, or work correctly. This one became self-aware and went for revenge. --- ... Copied to Clipboard!

"the cable was probably faulty" It certainly could if it isnt properly galvanized and creates a path of lesser resistance for the current --- If they drag you through the mud, it doesnt change whats in your blood ... Copied to Clipboard!

shadowsword87 posted..."the cable was probably faulty" "Galvanized"? Like rain gutters? Made of steel, plated with zinc so it's resistant to rust? Copper wires aren't "galvanized". And hair-thin earbud wires would melt before conducting any significant current to the earbud, they're rated only for signal-level: millivolts at nearly zero current. --- If ballet was easy, it would be pointe-less ...

if it heated up his ear, the air pressure could pop his ear drum and kill him maybe from shock
