Good thread. I'm getting me some vinegar. Probably would help with my shoes too, haha. I know baking soda didn't do squat for those.
Hey all,
I placed mine in the freezer after removing the battery.
I removed them and put them in an sir conditioned room to remove the moisture.
After 2 attempts the smell was gone .
Not sure if this will damage the electronics but it shouldn't since they ship all over the world in regular containers.
I recently got a pair of HD650 off of the FS forum, and they are in flawless condition aside from the smell of smoke. One of the previous owners had to of been a chimney
Actually, they're not that bad but being a non-smoker I can definitely smell it in the cable and the headphones.
The cable is not a problem, I can simply replace it... same with the pads.
But as for the plastic, I'm not sure what to do here. I've cleaned it a bit with soap, but of course the smell is still there. I don't want to damage them in any way of course.
Anyone with any suggestions?
Thanks!
George
I'm happy to say that activated charcoal yielded extremely good overnight results. While the smell is still there, it's significantly less pungent. I am convinced the smell will completely disappear within a week or two. You can find this kind of activated charcoal anywhere they sell aquarium supplies.
Activated charcoal is extremely effective at absorbing odorants from the air.Also, if you like the smell of coffee, coffee grounds or beans can also neutralize the odor.I placed a handful of coffee beans in my headphone case overnight and am about to go out and get some charcoal myself. Will probably have to go through a few packs to get rid of all the smell.
Update: Coffee didn't really work, baking soda got rid of the smell from the case but not the equipment, so switching to charcoal. Used coffee filters to pack the charcoal into layers and stuffed them in with the equipment.
