Do you have strange smell coming from these ear plugs? If yes, do you have any idea of what this smell is?

Maybe so, like latex or plastic. That would be normal being foam. If you smell anything else it maybe wax or debris from in the ear canal and should get checked by a doctor.

maybe the smell is coming from your ears (unless you mean before your wear them...you did not specify).

these are headphones, designed to allow you to hear the device that they are plugged into, not noise blocking. I think that this and ear plugs would be acting against each other.

Yeah mine smelled too. Sort of like fake leather/mothball. I've had them since August and yes, they do still smell, but I have to say, less so than in the beginning and more tolerable.

I started running with them and now the headphones have a crackling sound like static. I'm pretty sure the problem is, like somebody already mentioned it, where the cable attaches to the 3.5mm plug.

They do have a strong odor when you open the package. I left mine in the garage for a few days and that helped. There is still an odor but you have to be right near to notice it.

I just received a pair, and wrote about it here before I saw this. Your story sounds just like mine. Sound is terrible. I wrote Amazon about it. I guess I'll see what they (Amazon) are made of. As what to do. Send them an email. Look for "Contact Us" on one of the help pages.

Have not had that problem with my pair. Usually that occurs when the cord is not twisted in properly. Otherwise I am not sure what the problem would be, probably the headphone rather than the plug if it's one side only.

Chances are anything that's in-ear that creates a good noise-cancelling seal are going to do that. If there's a solid seal you'll get a stethoscope effect when you move the cord. I'd opt for something that's not as sealed, or maybe something with foam tips for the canal instead of rubber like these.Not to mention the cables on these are horrible (I've returned 4 pairs under warranty for the same issue).

I have only had the ear plugs for a few days now but, I used them a lot this weekend and didn't need to re-charge them until this morning. I didn't track the time though so I can't honestly answer the question...

Hmmmm. Mine did not smell. After I rinsed them, I used them. Maybe you should return the ones you received.

I just opened mine and got the same chemical smell. It is disconcerting. I'll leave them open for a bit and see.

Dear Al, thanks for your inquiry, and yes we do pride ourselves as having one of the highest dB rating for high fidelity earplugs. As for the removing them, what we would suggest is try not inserting the earplugs too deep into the ear canal and see if the isolation is still equally good, as inserting them too deep might make removing them a bit more challenging because of the inconspicuous size. Another option is to attach the cord to it so that the tip extends out further and allows easier removal, however in your case where the cord is not appropriate, you can try cutting away the cord, and leaving just the connector tip on to act as a longer ear tip. Hope that helps!

Ear plugs yes, but when you become sweety the device holding cable start to bother your neck (sticky)

I got mine a long time ago, I don't really remember if they smelled right out of the box, if they did, they definitely don't smell anymore!!

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