Strange chemical smell ? They have a strong chemical smell, not only when taking them out of the box, but also days later. Anyone else noticed?

Have you ever bought a new set of tires for your car? Have you ever smelled a new tire? It's the same with the speakers. The smell will dispute unless you put the speakers in the sun. It comes with any product who base material is Oil. Unless you have hyper sensitive smell capabilities, I wouldn't worry.

Depends on the smell. If it is a plasticky smell, it is due to it being a new product, all plastics emit an odor for a short time. A week out of the box and it will be gone, even a few hours in the sun will do it. If it is a burning smell, it could be a short circuit, if so return it.

I have a pretty good nose for that kind of thing but did not notice it with mine.

Greetings Y. Tang. Yes it is normal for them to have a slight smell to them. However, it isn't unpleasant. If the odor you smell is too strong or you feel is not normal, I would suggest contacting the manufacturer with your concerns and see if there is anything they can do for you. I hope this helped. :-) Be blessed.

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

Not sure what smell people were referring to. Ours did not have any unusual odor. Kind of new leather smell for a very short period of time.They are in my son's bedroom, so somewhat of a confined space and we can't smell anything.

Mine seemed to smell fine - so I'm not sure what you're experiencing is normal for the manufacturer. I'd consider asking for an exchange to confirm it's not something off on that unit. Just my $0.02 :-)

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.

Sun them! Sounds weird but it worked when my inserts smelled gross. Lay them in the sun for a few hours. Takes ANY smell away!

They have a strong odor. I haven't really had much opportunity to test them.

Mine do not have a smell, but they never did. I am very sensitive to smells, so I would have noticed. I would contact amazon and see if you can get a replacement. Maybe you got a bad batch.

mine has no smell to them. I throw them in the wash with my whites and they come out nice and clean. I think I may have bought the wrong kind though. The last ones I had had a foam backing to them and these don't. If anyone knows which ones i'm talking about please let me know so I can buy the right ones.

Mine have a faint smell of rubber. Not offensive and even that is diminishing with time.

There is a smell when you first open them, not terribly strong, but noticeable. I spread them out to air on the back porch for a few days after we received them and most of it dissipated.

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.

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

It has been awhile since I opened the box for the first time but I do not recall any unusual smells. Hope this helps. Mike

I also just received my second bottle. They don't have any strong smell or taste, they are just like the first bottle. I think I would ask for a replacement if the smell/taste is that noticeably different, that doesn't sound right. The lot number on my bottle is 1708335 1236 and use by date is 03/2019. Hope that helps!

Mine just came and it has a horrendous chemical smell. Will update in a week or two and let you know if it persists.
