left my jacket and my 360 wireless headphones at my friend's place for 2 weeks and now it doesn't smell so pleasant. To a smoker it's no big deal but as a non smoker the smell isn't very pleasant

Wash the jacket? I don't know how the smell could be embedded in plastic headphones but I suppose you could try airing them out for a couple of days.

no my wireless headset is the turtle beach x2. It's like a big over the head set with foam padding everywhere. And I've washed the jacket, the smell is still there but the foam on my headset isn't washable

No other option but to wait. Eventually the smell will fade.
In the meantime, hang both of them in an area where they will get good airflow.

Buy a can of fabreeze and empty it on the jacket and headset. I heard tomato juice works too.

Pickup a can of Zorbx-- it's sold at most Lowes, Walgreens, and Meijers stores. It works much better than Fabreeze at removing smoke odors.

(very securely) hang both in the back seat of your car, drive 75mph+ on the highway with 4 windows down for a couple hours.

I use two different methods after going to the bars:

1.) Hang jacket out on line outside
2.) Put it in the dryer on low with a dryer sheet or two for 20 minutes
