AirPods Pro have a strange smell on its silicone tips, is that safe?

I've this smell to...

When you returned your airpods did you have to bring the full box to get back a brand new pair or did they just exchanged the airpods pro earphones themselves without box

I brought the box with me as it was requested when i made the appointment, they did not ask for it at all. Odd that its something they want you to bring in.

Ahh i see because i gave the usb c to lightning cable to my girlfriend. so im short of the cable haha.

Did they give u a brand new box of airpods or just the unit itself ?

i didnt bring the cable with me either. Brand new ones from their repair stock. had the option to get just the case, or everything.

Mine has the horrible smell too. I wish it is because their product control (not design) as I'm willing to replace mine.

Well glad I held off on these. Since of stinky smell being reported. I will wait a year, my 1st gen. are still doing ok

Hi! I returned it and then reordered a new pair as it was out of stock at that time.

Same problem here, but it smells kind of sweet. Not a bad smell necessarily.

I’m gunno hold off on purchasing.. I still hope they get released in different colors before long

Same thing here... Blueberries smell. Very strange!

My AirPod Pros smell very strongly - it sort of makes me sick. Has anyone contacted Apple directly about this?

My AirPods Pro have this same smelling issue...

My AirPod first generation smells like blueberries and it is scrumptious

It's not the AirPods. You'll see once you start charging with the open case: almost no smell. The tips are absorbing the VOC outgassing that is coming from the case components.
