This is a listing for the case (charger) of these wireless earphones only. When a USB is plugged in, it reacts as shown in image 1, so I believe it is not broken. However, since there are no earphones, I have not been able to confirm whether it charges. The exterior has some scratches and marks, and there are areas that look slightly darkened, possibly due to dirt. Please refrain from purchasing if you are concerned about this.
