Well they do tend to make themselves known, so quite easy to find, they're not smart after all...
Whilst it might be more unwary than stupid, there are a few reports this year of people getting electrocuted whilst wearing earphones on a mobile phone that is connected to a mains charger.
Examples
Girl, 17, electrocuted as her mobile's headphones 'melted in her ears'
Malaysian boy electrocuted by headphones whilst charging phone | Daily Mail Online
Whilst it appears to have been a standard warning when I was - a lot - younger to refrain from using headphones on a valve amplifier, there is little if anything about connected equipment such as a mobile being a risk.
