I turned off my computer, went for a holiday and came back 5 days later and found my headphones which were still plugged into my case, crystalized and stuck at the front panel of the Phanteks Evolv ATX Case.

It was super weird because I had to use a pair of pliers to rip out the headphone jack, taking along the circular ring of the case. Also, the USB which was plugged in also had crystalized.

Does anyone know why this happened? Here are some pictures for reference.

I live in Singapore so it's pretty darn humid and hot all year round. I'd say average temperature is about 30ºC = 86ºF. Humidity level is 84.2%.
