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.

That's a Spotify Leak /s

This reminds me of the old Apple Macbook chargers where the cable was permanently attached to the charger itself. These cables became brittle and discolored from white to yelloy (they looked like they have been in a heavy smokers' household when exposed to UV light, which is always). When I tried to fix the brittle cables with tape, it got worse and probably due to a chemical reaction between the material of the cable and the sticky glue of the tape they completely disintegrated.

Your headphones are beyond repair. It looks like they have been exposed to some chemicals. Did you at one point in time clean them with perhaps an aggressive cleaner (toilet/ household cleaner)? It could be possible that some cleaner got inside the cable through a micro-crack in the cables' insulation and reacted with the copper inside.

You should replace them. The ooze is probably not healthy.

Send them to their resting place, they've done all they can

Are your headphones sucking out your ear wax or something? What the heck even is that gunk? 😮

[–] user224@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I thought of that at first, but that got too far down the cable now. I also tried to put hydrogen peroxide on it which seems to foam a lot with earwax, but had no visible reaction to this goo.

The vital essence

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

The door paint in my last flat did this if you hung damp clothes over them. But you could wipe it off at least.

This is AI slop? Words to content ratio is way too high.

[–] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

It is absolutely slop whether a human or AI vomited those words onto the page. So much fucking repetitive filler.

I've had cables so this after ten (five of I left em in the car) so maybe they're a touch old?
