Philips SBC HN 110 & Panasonic RP HT61 (scraped): Cracked and Peeled Ear covers - Prevention and Cure/ Solutions?

I'll try to upload pics via Phone - Wierd is that for Philips the main ear rest has not cracked or peeled but the lining between the Soft Ear rest and the Metal body has (pics to describe). I wonder why. Would appreciate insights.

I assume you are talking about synthetic "pleather." It has an internal alarm clock that tells it to disintegrate within a year or two. This varies, however, but almost always results in depositing black flakes on your ears and neck before you realize it.

One of the most ubiquitous headphones in the audio/broadcast world - the Sony MDR-V6 (or 7506) has used the pleather coated ear pads since the mid-1980's. I have read reports where broadcast studios would order cases of Sony MDR-V6s from BH Photo in New York, along with a matching case-load of after-market velour replacement pads. Upon receiving delivery of the headphones and pads, they'd open each headphone and replace the pads as they pulled them out of the cases, before even plugging them in for the first time.

Bottom line, if your Philips and Panasonic headphones are using this material, there's no solution but replacement. Pleather is actually just a type of foam and it will disintegrate, eventually - some faster than others. With the Sonys, it was about 1-2 years.
