Also re-reading your post, the circuit breaker to the outlet was tripped when this happened. Do you actually have power at the outlet you are using?
Make sure the outlet is grounded, and use a surge protector between the outlet and your PC just to be safe,
I have a pair of $80 Anker Soundcore noise cancelling buds.
They sound amazing (bass is really good, sound is clear), fit well, noise cancelling actually works, and I have been using them for about 2 month so far with zero issues.
