Hey guys,
 
I've been having my Beyers for a while now and I've noticed that there are spots or smudges on the earpieces (specifically where it says DT 990 and whatnot).  I guess it's all over the metal or plastic? Not what the material is made out of.  I haven't touched them for probably 3 months now and I recently just noticed this when I went put them on.  Is there anyway to get rid of it?  I thought I could rub it off but I guess not. Anything safe I could try to clean it with? Worst case scenario, is it possible to replace them?  I know you can customize them so yeah...

Enjoy the nice patina. I find that 100% new stuff looks a bit gaudy compared to what has been lovingly used.

"Wabi-sabi (佗寂^?) represents a comprehensive Japanese world view or aesthetic centered on the acceptance of transience and imperfection. The aesthetic is sometimes described as one of beauty that is "imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete".^[1] It is a concept derived from the Buddhist teaching of the three marks of existence (三法印 sanbōin^?), specifically impermanence (無常 mujō^?), the other two being suffering (苦 ku^?) and emptiness or absence of self-nature (空 kū^?)."
