Probably disintegrating, I don’t know. But now I’ll finally have to buy new ones. Currently there’s 6 oozing points in total. 3 are minor, one is now inactive (the 2024 pimple), one I taped over, but it’s starting to overflow, and one near the jack is major.

I now cannot plug them in without getting sticky residue everywhere. Also the rubber on the outside is starting to crumble a bit.
I am a cheapskate, but this may be their end.

    You clearly left out the main thing anyone would need to troubleshoot this issue… what kind of music are you listening to. Obviously low quality music will wreck headphones no matter how good they are.
