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

      Theyre made of cheap “pleather” material that flakes apart with time. I have some expensive headphones that have done the same. You can just buy replacement ear pads and slip them on like a fitted bed sheet.

      Just the pressure of the frame is enough to cause this. It’s a stress point for the material

      These kind of pads are not really made to least long. Normally you can replace them

      Round things still are subject to friction.

      That’s like saying “Water is soft and conforming, I’m unsure how it could carve a canyon.”
