I once 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 seriously concerned as I’m sensitive to such issues. The headphones are less than a year old.

Solution: Glasses have been the problem, read one of the many replies below for more details.

    That’s normal wear and tear for over-ear headphones. You should expect for these ear cushions to eventually wear out. They are constantly rubbing against your glasses, earrings, headband, etc. as well as just your ears/head. Unfortunately, they should be considered consumables. Fortunately, as others mention here, there are multiple first-party and third-party replacement pads on the market, so you can replace just the pads as they wear out.
