I tried to play a game through my browser instead of installing it, but my headphones started having terrible sound quality right after I clicked on it. I'm worried that they might be damaged from a sketchy site. Are my headphones ruined?

There are many factors that could affect sound quality. It could be the audio settings in your browser, the game itself, or even a setting in the headphone app if you have one. Have you tried connecting them to a different device to see if the sound is still bad?

Could you share if your headphones are wired or Bluetooth, and whether they have a microphone? Also, have you tried rebooting your device? Sometimes, the sound quality issues can be resolved that way.

It's unlikely that your headphones are broken. It might just be a loose connection somewhere. Check if everything is plugged in properly.
