PX100W foam pads turning yellow

[flamerz]

I'll get some pics up later.. But it's kind of a bleach yellow, starts on the edges of the foam, and it's beginning to creep into the middle. I just got these less than a week ago and I don't know why it's doing this. I tried washing it out with soap and it didn't work. Has anyone had this before? Sorry for the crappy writing, but I can't think and I'm in a bit of a hurry. Thanks.

Your sweat might be doing something with the bleach they used.

You can re-bleach them in your sink if you want them white again.

Well the foam is actually grey. I don't think I've sweat in them, as I don't sweat very easily. I'll post some pics in a few minutes.

They are morphing into the HD414? j/k

but I've never had such problems with my black PX100 while I have them.

Well, I finally got the pic up.

I'm too lazy sometimes. Any of you guys have an idea of what it is? I'm going to try washing it out again.

we need some scientist here......
this looks like some chemical reaction haha....
do u use hair gel or something? my guess

 

[flamerz]

Yeah, it still didn't work. I use gel, but it doesn't reach the pads.

My PX100 black earpads turned a yellow color but after like a year.

My Grado SR-60 earpads developed red/brown spots after a few weeks. I think the problem could be attributed to the fact that I listened to them after I had a shower and my hair was still wet.

Can AcneFree discolor or bleach dyed fabrics? AcneFree contains Peroxide, which is a known bleaching agent. There is a warning on the side of the box that indicates bleaching may happen to hair or dyed fabrics.

Foam yellows over time and becomes brittle. I recommend using mild soap *Ivory* and warm water to wash it.

The warm water refreshes the foam a bit, making it last a bit longer. The soft soap is less harsh that detergent, and will leave less residue when rinsed.

My friend has the same problem. He wears his all the time, but doesn't sweat much, from what I can tell. They're turning yellow on the edges.

His are also white.
