name the headphones you are trying to fix or at least post an image of the actual problem, not a borrowed one https://www.walmart.com/ip/Replacement-Earpads-for-Razer-Kraken-Pro-V2-Gaming-Headset-Kraken-7-1-Ear-Pads-Cushion-Cover-Foam-Pad-Soft-Leather/19649707395 One rule of the road for headphones is not to use aftermarket ear pads instead of OEM since most aftermarket pads alter sound characteristics. So will putting covers over the deteriorated pads. Rarely aftermarket ear pads are known to improve the sound of some headphones, and having named yours might have produced prefered replacement referrals. I searched for "Razer Kraken Pro V2" replacement ear pads, since that is named in your reddit profile flare, and that search returned several replacement ear pad sources specific to that model. The link above is but a single example.
