Smokey headphones!

Hi folks.

I just cracked out my headphones for the first time since a show on Friday and was punched in the face with the smell of cigarette smoke. Perhaps that's appealing to some of you.. but not me.

Is there any methods of frequently removing this smell from the fabrics/foam/inner structure of my headphones that can be spoken of? Or do I have to just "deal with it" or get a seperate pair for keeping at home/studio/etc?

Go go gadget housewife knowledge.

Pour a bit of vinegar on a plate. Place the headphones next to it for an hour or two.

you could play with one of those pine tree car deodorizers hanging from each ear.

this problem goes beyond headphones... generally i feel like burning any clothing i where to the club afterwards due to the smoke smell.

ohio just banned smoking in public places though... i thought it was annoying at first, even though i don't smoke cigarettes, but thinking about this now i realize it will be great.

They're doing that here in Pittsburgh, too. Even though I'm an occasional smoker, I'm really into this idea. Maybe it'll help me quit for good.

clothes can be thrown in the washer. headphones cannot

they maintain some of the smell even after airring them out for a long time.
I was hoping to not have to use synthetic scents / spray-on odour removers - that stuff makes me nausious - i prefer the smell of smoke to it

Yeah, the smoking bans - something you won't see in many parts of the world.
