Fuck,

I've been charging everything with the oculus quest 2 charger because it's very powerful but it just blew up my headphones. I did this often before but this time was a whole night.

I hope I can still get this great headphones, it had such good volume & bass. It's the cheapest Fresh & Rebel but the sound quality and battery is great

my everything charger is the raspberry pi charger

@feuerherz well, at least that one can't possibly blow up anything :)

Imagine the shitstorm if that would happen with one of Apple's charger or device 🤡

@Lensflare ? If this would happen to an apple device, its badly made

@Lensflare apple chargers don't work on decent devices and apple devices don't work on decent chargers. Actually - it would not have happened indeed if I had an apple. But does apple even have headphones?

so, what were those headphones exactly? and are you sure that headphones that... _explode_ when charged are actually "great"?

@tosensei https://action.com/nl-nl/p/... but you have them also with noise cancelling for just 5,- extra! I don't cary anything about that. Waste of energy. I actually want to be able to hear surroundings: https://action.com/nl-nl/p/...

Edit: it's understandable that headphone broke. Normally a charger is around the 5W or smth. The charger is used is 33W

I know it is hard to take it serious but it's the cheapest headphone I ever had (Normally i was in 50+ range, after 50,- the sound quality gets better.). I bought it for fun and was very amazed. It has sound quality of a 50,+ headphones. It feels very decent too because Fresh & Rebel makes normaly higher end hardware

@retoor > I actually want to be able to hear surroundings

i haven't yet seen any headphones with ANC that don't also support hearthrough (or however they might call it), which makes hearing your surroundings better than with "dumb" headphones.

@tosensei I think i'll actually buy the noise cancelling ones. 5,- is nothing for such future. Maybe I come ever in a situation where it's preferred

@retoor in trains it's a game changer 😁

@retoor the pink ones look cute :3

@feuerherz yeahh! Found exactly the same ones in village center! Without noise canceling, that one had bigger ear thingies I don't like. The pink one wasn't available

@retoor oh no :(

@feuerherz

If this would happen to an ANY device, its badly made.

You see my point?

@Lensflare seriously don't agree to that. 33W is bit insane actually. It charges even my whole phone in no time

@retoor i think there has to be some kind of standard for chargers and devices to prevent the device from being fried by a charger.

@Lensflare i was just starting the shitstorm already :P

I wonder if thats an actual issue with the charger, or the device receiving the charge?

@plgonzalezrx8 the charger just did what it supposed to I guess. It normally charges a way heavier device and the headphones were batshit cheap, so they're probably the problem. But I was happy with them and found the same model again today and bought it. Ok, I had to buy it for the second time, but still two-three times cheaper than the other headphones I normally buy. So, it's ok. Still fan of the headphones

@jestdotty it stopped working, didn't explode and don't seem so. Will send them Samsung Note 4's. There was a GTA vice city mod that you can throw Samsung Note's as grenade

@jestdotty "my 500$ headphones been finicky recently and I'm scared what if they're breaking" -> exactly! That's why I love my old refurbished x270's. Cheap, reliable. Doesn't matter if it goes to hell. Even got in stock. Will just buy it again. Btw, i just splashed a drinking can over it. I started to suck as a maniac on the keyboard.

What headphones are worth 500,-? Would really like to try tough. I did try the expensive bose ones, one of the first with decent noice cancelling (a feature that i don't like). Natural sound is great, but my headphones have a slight bass boost that I love. That's it, the headphones are just my sound preferences . Also, the volume is quite high

@jestdotty I bought my 15,- headphone as joke too, would also expect it to die in two weeks but I needed headphones back then and there's not much choice in my village. Thank God it became my favorite ever.

I also had a few senheisers but in the 50-70 range. My dad has PA microphones from senheiser. I grew up with that brand. It was originally a microphone brand afaik
