smelly AirPods max?

[A_Flying_Panda]

does any of your AirPods max smells really bad? mine has a really intense 'new car' kind of smell, which makes me headache.

 

[Lammy]

Mine have a weird smell too. I’ve been wearing them all day and got used to it.

 

[venom600]

Yes, I was surprised at how strong the odor is. I think it’s mostly coming from the ear cups.

 

[JM91Six]

I like it haha. It’s a similar smell as my temperpedic pillows are. Smells new

 

[Royksöpp]

It's the Smart Case. It's a manmade chemical filled monstrosity.

I hope they finish off gassing soon.. they stink...

[vmac556]

Same smell with mine. Its Carcinogens. But def going away

 

[Nickash28]

Anyone else get super itchy from these things? Not sure if it will go away with the smell but they are making my hair itch like crazy.

 

[puckhead193]

YES!!! I came to post the exact thing. It smells like a bad new car smell. They stink. I feel like I was getting high.

I did a 3 month Tempurpedic mattress trial 20 years ago - never stopped smelling. However, I read that is not typical and other memory foam may arrive scentless or quickly improve. Already read one Airpods Max review that arrived smelly and was gone two days later.

Day 3 smell and itch has gone away

 

[mcaswell]

I guess I'm in the minority... yes, there was definitely a weird chemical smell, but I actually kinda liked it.

I know that new Apple products have a smell to them. Also a smell when you open up an iPhone, iPad, HomePod, Mac, etc. Probably just the adhesives off gassing.. Is it bad that I kinda like it? I was disassembling a 3 year old iPad Pro and as soon as I removed the display, you could smell that new Apple product scent. Is it bad that I like it??

I got my new AirPod Max today. Funny smell from them. My ears feels burning and itchy at night. When I was scratching the swelling on my ears, a lump of rotten flesh dropped off. What the hell is happening to me?

Haha resident evil.

It smells like a new car to me...but it seems to be dying down now (had them for about a week)

 

[soaddk]

Agree. The earcups smell really weird when just unboxking the headphones.

 

[ouimetnick]

Normally I like the smell of new apple products, but not the case or cushions on these. The AirPod Pro silicone tips also have a funky smell, but the APM is terrible. Washed both the case and cushions in the sink with cold water and laundry detergent. Still smells, but it isn’t as strong.

 

[Htsi]

memory foam smell that’s it

 

[MacScape]

Yuck, I got one too. Did the smell go away? How long did it take?

 

[venom600]

The earpads take time to outgas the odors. After a few days you won't even remember it was an issue.
