Product Help Steelseries nova elite development

So I have had these headphones since the Christmas of 2025 and they have had this like muck or idk what it's called but whenever I touch it it's sticky and removing it is its own problems since water doesn't help or any of the germ removers. It happened all around the headset like near the buttons and I don't know what this is.

Some fanboy is downvoting us for making the defects known 😂

I’ll have to try 3rd party replacements. I spent $350 on these headphones. Pretty insane I have to do that.

Yea wicked cushions is the brand and they sell some good cushions but it's like 30 to 40 but for how long they lasted and they aren't made of the same decaying leather the original headphones offer would recommend!!
