New headphone smell?

[Alpha 904]

This may seem a little random, but do any of you enjoy the smell of new headphones? My hd-650 just came in today and as I was looking at the construction of the headphones, I got a good wiff of a smell of something like paper and plastic. This is my first experience of the new headphone smell since the other headphones I've had weren't packed as tightly by foam as the hd-650s.

Most new plastic things smell. It is probably bad for you.

Wow, where do you find this stuff??? Jeez. I guess I should feel bad now.

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE SMELL OF NEW CASSETTE TAPES. I mean old cassetes because you can't get 'em anymore, but I remember vividly opening up my first cherry flavored Def Leppard Tape... oooooo so nice...

=) I love gasoline too..

heeeeeheeee

That's funny, neilvg, because I thought that just before reading your post. I remember the wonderful smell of my Iron Maiden tapes from the 80s. So good.

I know exactly what you mean. Wonderful. But, oh the price we pay.

I know there is New Car Interior smell on spray cans, for the finnishing tuch by the used cars salesman. Perhaps something for the nostalgic/fetish member?

There is nothing like the smell of petrol and hot engine oil.

I absolutley LOVE the smell of some new Grado's. Dear lord, the smell of those things just drive me mad. Come to think of it, it has been a while since I have smelled it, and I don't want to have to wait for the HF-1's to come in to smell it again...I wonder if I can find a Grado box in my appartment...scavanger hunt after class today!
