Probably disintegrating, I don't know. But now I'll finally have to buy new ones. Currently there's 6 oozing points in total. 3 are minor, one is now inactive (the 2024 pimple), one I taped over, but it's starting to overflow, and one near the jack is major.

I now cannot plug them in without getting sticky residue everywhere. Also the rubber on the outside is starting to crumble a bit.
I am a cheapskate, but this may be their end.
