I bought this from Parrot. There is a terrible smokey/fuel like smell coming from it. Actually made my headphones smell of the same odor. help??

Hey A-Aron - mine has no such odor! I am very sensitive to such things - I think you should exchange it for another pair. It's a great case!

you may want to return it. Because mine did not smell anything. Something wrong

Ours did that and later it messed up and we ended up exchanging it (unrelated problem). The new one did not have the smell/taste at all! I think there's something wrong with it.

Just received a pair in the mail. Mine smell funny too. Like a factory or something artificial.

Unless there is some damage to the unit, I would look for ear wax to be a possible problem. Remove the rubber piece and see if there's something amiss. You may also have a rubber piece that's too big for your ear and that could dampen the sound.

Unfortunately, I don't think you can fix it. It's a design flaw (a pretty bad one for this product). The audio quality is outstanding (better than the stupid Beats from Dr. Dre for sure..). What I did was to order a replacement (because it should be covered under warranty) and I was simply more careful: what actually breaks the plastic is grabbing the headphones from the ear pads when you take them off and on (despite that being the natural way of doing it) so every time I put them on and off I just expand them from the over head band, without putting strain on the thin plastic connectors that actually break. I hope this is useful. Unfortunately, I don't think you can fix it. It's a design flaw (a pretty bad one for this product).

I noticed it too, I only own it for about a day or two. I will give it a week or two max before returning it. No way I can live with this smell, it smells like brand new plastic x1000.

Depends on the smell. If it is a plasticky smell, it is due to it being a new product, all plastics emit an odor for a short time. A week out of the box and it will be gone, even a few hours in the sun will do it. If it is a burning smell, it could be a short circuit, if so return it.

they are so stinky. I aired them out and now the little one doesn't smell but the big one still does. Any suggestions? My friend ordered the same thing and it doesn't smell. I threw away the box so I am having a hard time finding one to ship it back in.

Hi: Sorry that you are having trouble with your microwave. I have a good sense of smell and have not found this happening with my microwave. I hope this can be rectified with who you brought it from.

Mine seemed to smell fine - so I'm not sure what you're experiencing is normal for the manufacturer. I'd consider asking for an exchange to confirm it's not something off on that unit. Just my $0.02 :-)

Yes, I had that burning smell as well. And some sparking as well. It is not normal and very dangerous. I stopped use it and thrown out it.

Yes. I tried to sleep on mine the first night and I woke up with ringing ears and a headache, and the sensation I was sleeping in a petrochemical plant. It kind of concerns me -- what is causing that odor? It's an irritant at the least and... could it be carcinogenic?? I'm going to give these a couple of days and a few runs through the dryer and see if they air out.

No, it shouldn't smell that way. You should ask for an exchange. Mine came with no smell and I love it - so quiet!

I did not have that problem. It maybe the smell of the rubber/plastic compound that it's made of after being enclosed in it packaging. It should dissipate within a couple of days at the most. Otherwise I would contact the manufacturer

I got mine, opened the box and was almost knocked over. The smells is horrible so I took it out of my house.I'm hoping that over time it will go away, but it can't be good to breath that smell in,, it's really that bad. I wouldlove to send it back.

Mine has this terrible smell too! It stank up the house and now it's outside stinking up my patio. I would describe it more as formaldehyde. Just return it, that's what I'm doing. This is going nowhere near my eye.
