Do these have a synthetic smell, odor to them? I recently purchased headphones but the memory foam smell is so strong, hoping these aren't the same.

I don't / didn't smell anything. Most new things have a "factory" odor but will go away with a little love. :)

No, I did not notice any kind of synthetic or chemical smell when first using these headphones.

I'm not sure if I have the discontinued ones or not? I bought mine around the end of January if that's any indication. The ones I have don't actually give off much of an odor. Sorry I wish I could help you more.

This pair of headphones are quite comfy. My only issue with them is that when I wear them for a long periods, my ears start to hurt, not because of the sound, but because they don't really sit well on my ears - that's probably because my ears are shaped kinda oddly, so its not really a fault of the headphones but of my genetics. Other than that, my brother has used these for 6 hours straight at one point and had no issue whatsoever. However, these headphones are open headphones so not only will the sound leak out (other people can hear it) if you put the volume too loud, but you will be able to hear other people as well. So if the airplane is gonna be noisy, you might as well not be wearing any headphones. This pair of headphones are quite comfy.

I believe that they did have an odor but I of course laundered them before use and they were fine. I have several sets, as I eat tons of fresh produce daily and I would be lost without them!

I noticed a smell from mine, probably something to do with their being manufactured in China.I don't recall any smell from one I bought 10 or so years ago that was manufactured in the USA.I'll try the new one some more to see if the smell goes away.

although I read on some of the reviews that they did have an odor, I personally did not experience this. Mine smelled just fine. In fact, I bought these to replace some that I had washed and caused to develop an odor.

Mine do not smell bad. Or maybe I haven't tried to smell them. They are fabulous vitamins.

The one I got did not have a smell to it. I have some memory foam pillows that did smell when I first got them but they no longer have that odor.

I washed mine in warm soapy water when I got them and let air dry. No smell

They had a slight odor when they came out of the packaging but it wasn't pungent. I have a very sensitive (meaning that I can smell things most people can't smell and in low doses too) nose too. I didn't wash them and the scent went away after a day or two. Hope this helps you out.

i dont think these come in fakes i ordered mine from ebay from a trusted seller. i doubt they sell these headphones in a fake form http://www.ebay.com/itm/190660899741?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 do you think these are fake from this guy

Hi Seth, I have no idea as I am merely someone who purchased the pillows. I will tell you though that if you end up ordering them and they smell send them back right away! I washed them and the smell almost 100% went away but they still smell weird. The pillows are very plush and and not as malleable as other down pillows I have. In conclusion, if they didn't smell I would have given the pillow 5 stars.

Don't notice any odor, but that may be because I run them through the dishwasher. Sometime microwave them. Love them.

Mine do not and did not smell. Have used them many times over without a problem.

Depends on the size of your ears. Personally, the bottom of my ears are "in" the cup of the headphone, but the top of my ears are "out" of the cup of the headphone. They feel very natural to me. I don't even notice where my ears are in relationship to the "cup" of the headphone.Also, I don't recall how many months (should be double digits by now) that I've been using these headphones, but they haven't lost any quality in that time period. I use them daily for 5-8 hours at a time and they have held up great! Wouldn't hesitate to purchase again.

It is a little hard to tell by the picture but it has really nice foam filled neoprene inserts which feel like memory foam on your head and the headphone drivers itself are made of higher quality foam so they are quite comfortable. It's bot that cheap foam ears that tend to get itchy after listening for extended periods of time. I hope this answers your question :)

I never noticed a smell to them, even brand new out of the box. I put them under the mattress cover under the fitted sheet. So I don't know if would smell them if they did have a smell to them.
