Woman’s headphones explode mid-flight

What kind of music was she listening to? Perhaps the artist dropped an f-bomb?

As for what could have happened: I bet they were wireless headphones and the battery went all Samsung on her.
 
WoW ?? Wonder if it was her own personal head-phones or that of the aircraft? Reading the report tells me that it could possibly be the airliners headphones? Could have been a surge of to much thrust of power coming through the wires? Compensation has to be given if it was the airliner's head-phones that went "BOOM" , actually just got very HOT and started to melt.
 
One of the Discuss comments under the story indicates that it was wireless headphones and the batteries caused the fire. Queue wireless earphone ban on planes...
 
Must've been listening to justine bieber, or some crap like that and the earphones committed suicide.
 
Must've been "Blasts by Dr Dread" headphones
 
An article is just not complete with something like this.

According to the ATSB report, passengers had to endure the smell of burnt hair and plastic for the remainder of the flight.

I can also only think it would have to be wireless headphones because there is no conceivable logic in my mind that would cause passive headphones to explode.

Headphone brand wasn't given but as it was a Beijing flight I'd assume a Chinese brand so doubtful.

I have wondered about this...
I have these:

The battery is in the neck piece. Based on the pic, I'd say it was something that has batteries on the sides.
