Hi Guys,

Picked up the Airpod Pros around the time they were released, and although I am a hygiene freak and make sure my ear canals are clean and wax-free I can still smell the fruity smell on the earbuds just as strongly as the day I picked them up What have Apple used to do this?

My guess is the white glue/clay inside the pods! It’s definitely not the case and not the silicone tips! Check teardown videos, you can clearly see it. The pods are literally filled with that stuff. I kinda like the smell though
 
Mine smell like blueberries. There is another thread for this, but it has to do with the off gassing of the plastic/silicon.
