These are about 2 years old and maybe used 30 times. Babied and kept in its pouch when not in use. I don't see any marks or anything. Zero problems. Non-funkified. I am super clean and always kept these wiped and never touched with food hands or anything like that. Strict studio only use. Never around food or drink of any kind. I'm very particular when it comes to my headphones. So no worries there. Included cables (not shown in photos) brand new, still in wraps. Zero wear on pads. Includes storage pouch of course.
