I one found this damage on my headphones on both sides, it is unclear what caused it, and the continued uses causes the damage to expand. I’m siriously concerned as I’m sensitive to such issues. The headphones are less than a year old.
You can buy replacement earpads for most brands of headphones.
wearing glasses?
Yes, but they are very rounded at that part, so I’m unsure how it could’ve damaged it.
Just the pressure of the frame is enough to cause this. It’s a stress point for the material
These kind of pads are not really made to least long. Normally you can replace them
Round things still are subject to friction.
That’s like saying “Water is soft and conforming, I’m unsure how it could carve a canyon.”
The fabric is thin and wears out over time from taking them on and off. Mine eventually just crumbled into tiny flakes everywhere
I wear glasses, using the same headphones since 5 years and they never caused any damage. All the recommendations saying “just get new ones” are pure consumerism and what got us into this state of filling up our oceans with rubbish. Buy quality headphones not cheap crap and you won’t have this issue.
Ah yes, the famous “repair worn out pieces”, that consumerism is known for
Buying cheap crap only to replace it with another piece of cheap crap soon is consumerism, yes
you don’t seem to understand what people are saying. but good for you for trying
Buy new ear pads is consumerism, but buy another pair of headphones is good?
do you wear earrings or glasses?
It’s normal wear and tear, it’s in those particular spots because you wear glasses.
The cushions or pads are a wear part and are user replaceable.
Those cushions wear out after a while, you can buy replacements. Make sure to buy the exact same type and thickness or the sound might be much worse.
Wear, wear, yeah.
Putting a piece of tape (perhaps duct tape, or electrical tape) over the holes will probably keep them from unraveling further.
I would have replaced those cushions as soon as I got them. They look really uncomfortable.
How to replace earphone cushions?
On mine, you can just pull them off
It’s the elf transformation
Damn knife-ears
Can you swap out the padding? If not you made the wrong choice when purchasing the headphones TBH
Pleather/fake leather ear pads do that after continuous use for a long time and it’s unfortunately normal. You can change them with new ear pads and if you’re lucky, you can find them made by different materials. Be careful, the material of the ear pads actually effects the sound that you will hear from your headphones.
They wear out. The unfortunate thing is that the replacement ear pads don’t tend to last as long. So buy them if you have to, but keep an eye out for new headphone sales over the next few months.
Why would replacement pads be worse?
I have glasses and the same problem, I think the glasses chafe against the plastic leather without one noticing until it breaks.
- A hole
- Your ear/glasses
- No
Buy a new pair of cups off Amazon or whatever you prefer, they ought to cost you around $5-10. Yours look like the standard egg shape, so just about any should fit. These cups wear out with regular use, which is why they can be removed easily for replacement.
Yup replaced mine a few times. Cheap ones are just as good. I add a dot of double sided tape or glue gun to secure.
