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.
Why would you still use them after the first day you knew this was happening?
Op is why we have safety labels like “Don’t inject bleach”
You Deal w ts for over a year???💀
I would try two things.
-
heat gun the goo a little (get it up to like 150F or so) and see if it the sappy liquid runs and you can maybe clean it and drain it easier at temp
-
get some shrink wrap to seal up the ends. That might help for a while if you can get it tight.
I’m not familiar with those headphones but sometimes manufacturers will put grease or goo inside the cables to reduce straining and folding of the wires.
It looks kinda like rosin in the photo. I wonder if something inside the device was saturated in rosin and its just leaking down the cable?
-
It is the era of device
Get something newer as overtime the older rubber like materials tend to break down.
Whaa, a follow up on the pimple headphones!? Ouch, yeah that looks even worse now, crazy that you kept using them even after all this time, yeah, that looks like replacing time indeed.
If it didn’t sound like a possibly very unsafe idea I’d say i wonder how much it would degrade and how would it look if you sealed it on some kind of bag and left it there for a very log time haha
I gotta question.
Is badge502 on Lemmy?
Ah well. He’s been giffed.
The 7Hz x Crinacle Zero 2 and the Truthear Gate or Hola (worse but a little cheaper) are both pretty good and around $20. Might be worth considering for a good replacement.
People also like the Moondrop Chu II, but they have bad QC and I don’t like the frequency response (too V-shaped), so I wouldn’t recommend them.
bruh
I think it’s infected. You better take them to Dr. Dre.
Beat me to it.
Who?
Ya’ll forgot about Dre!?!
dr dre is dead, he’s locked in my basement.
(hahaha)
Nowadays, everybody wants to talk
Like they got somethin to say
I wonder what the critical mass of people has to be, on average, for this to get through the chorus here.
But… nothing comes out when they move they lips
Just a bunch of gibberish
and motherfuckers act like they forgot about Dre
Dr Who isn’t that kind of a doctor.
Depends on what the underlying problem in. How many people’s headphones are oozing goo? It could be an invasion!
Not a medical doctor. As such.
mike jones.
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.
probably Psalm 69 by Minstry, I made the same mistake in high school, my headphones didn’t leak anything, but several lesser demons briefly manifested. I just went back to listening to White Zombie, and it all calmed down.
Liar! Blasphemer!

Music so touching, it brought the cable to tears.
Skrillex actually.
Given that:
- The statue of Mother Mary cries;
- These earphones are weeping;
You are witnessing divine signals from heaven above, and can charge people money to make the holy trek to witness your hallowed earphones.
Wasn’t the weeping statue just sewage?
I don’t really appreciate your blasphemy
My bad, I had the wrong silly cult icon in kimd thrre… But I mean, if Jesus tears is sewage then what blasphemy?
Its Jesus’s earwax!
I think cancer treatment will be more costly than a new pair of earbuds or whatever your next cheap accessory that is leaking unknown chemicals.
Bro just clean your ears bro
what does it taste like
Like honey
Try isopropyl alcohol 70%. The stuff you use for disinfectant in the first aid aisle. Soft rubbery plastics do this over time. The alcohol will strip the soft material that is disintegrating and leave the smooth plastic behind.
At this point I don’t think he’s trying to fix the problem.
Problem is, it leaks from the inside.
