Incident: At around 5am i was getting ready to go to bed, i walk into the room & a heavy smell of melted crayon, I sniff around & cant locate the smell I give up then spot my earbuds plugged in only to see a extremely melted & hot charging case & a melted & charred charging cord. They are not glued together. My first action is unplugging it, then removing the extremely hot earbuds (not melted but really hot) from the case. Then took the entire thing outside & put on a metal table & covered with a pot (just incase of heavy dew/rain.)

No longer term or frequent flexing or bending, just standard pluging. It was primarily used on the skullcandys once or twice a week max sense the skullcandys were delivered 12/08/25. ) This is apparently a common problem with the SkullCandy anc when I [REDACTED] skullcandy buds melting & needs to be investigated as if i had not seen it the house would have caught fire.
