Some random green stuff has started coming out of my headphones input. What is this stuff? and should I be worried?

Eat it
oh shit dude that's computer blood
sorry but your headphones are dying
It's stereo liquid
Nigga that shit mold what the fuck were you doing. Enjoy your ears falling off
fucked
Burn that headset and take a shower.
It's oxidizing, jack is shitty, get a better one.
it could only be oxidizing like that with the inclusion of moisture, which leads me to believe OP may have dripped some spittle in there while he was gnawing autistically on his headset.
seriously, the only other possibility is that they got wet somehow, but then OP would have the answer to his question and not need to post.
get some isopropyl and a cotton bud and clean it out desu
That's shit from your ears leaking through the headphone.
Is your headphone chink shit?
F
Ignore the trolls here. Your accoustic oil is leaking, you have to seal the tubing, flush the old one and refill if you want your headphones to last long. Check the manual for recommended oil. Mine use 10W40 but I like 15W40 more as I play them hard without warming up at lower volumes first.
Well how do I do that? there isnt any way that I can see to bust these headphones open without smashing the thing.
alcohol cannot fix corrosion. OP should just buy a cheap ass 3.5mm jack and solder it on. Or ask in any PC repair shop, that shit's like $10 of effort.
You're supposed to gently open it up where the two pieces of plastic on the headphones meet. You may encounter some resistance, that's just the plastic hooks holding, just pull hard. They pop back into place after.
Pull off earpads carefully and take off screws. Pull out the black protective fabric or wool from the drivers as well, it improves sound.
sweat and musk has leaked into the input cavity and its causing corrosion
I have managed to dig this far. The leaking seems to be coming from the back piece at the bottom next to the light green piece. What do I do now?
You see those thick battery-looking things? Especially the laying blue one? Take a good close look at them and check the top (X-shape) and bottom with a Q-tip as best you can for any liquids.
Also look at the board with a flashlight.
Use your camera flash next time.
Shit. This really cranked me up.
Only the blue battery seemed to have leak. I cleaned up a small amount of the green oil around the blue battery, but everything else seems clean. Most of the oil i found was inside the input at the bottom that I mentioned before.
The port is behind the 3.5mm jack. Before you try anything, I would check the oil pump first though. Usually it's on the other side for balancing purposes. Sometimes the pressure vent gets stuck, especially im dusty households and the fill valve gives in. 90% of leaks are caused by this.

use a needle to poke a tiny hole into the blue battery to depressurize it, then use some glue to cover the hole.
Honestly it sounds like the blue capacitor leaked its electrolyte downwards (default headphone position is upright) and amassed on the jack. Very common point of failure.
Can't read any component labels, but I am certain there are no other liquid-containing parts inside.
What happens now is you dump the headphones in a bag and take it to literally any nearby repair shop and tell them about the leak.
If it really is a leaked capacitor, it'll take 30 seconds to change it if they have one. They cost cents each.
>blue battery
>the absolute state of neo Sup Forums
It's a capacitor and you need to replace it
are they made by the grern gamer brand(razer?)?
>go to /csg/ for headphone buying advice
>get radiation brain tumour
Don't answer the door user. Especially if you see a black old-fashioned car with tinted windows.
You're best bet is to burn it all now. The headphones and anything the green liquid has touched. If it's on your skin take a deep long shower and apply diluted bleach to the area.
Your capacitor has blown/expired and leaked electrolyte, the dielectric material.

You'll need to look up the capacitor make and model to see if it can be replaced first. Then either take it to a repair shop or if you're handy with PCB soldiering etc you could try to repair it yourself.
>thinking bleach will help

Only flames will cleanse the sin of flesh and bone.
Oh and do explicitly ask the repair man to clean all traces of the liquid as it is conductive.
It's radioactive jizz of the chink who made your headphones.
Easy mistake to make but it’s actually audio fluid
This. They use radioactive chinks who glow in the dark to save in the electric bill.
ugghh ugghh ugghh ugghh ugghh
radioactive.... glow.... chinks.... "they"....
CIA NIGGERS ARE CHINESE
OP asks, what will happen if I dont get anything done on it?
I have this green shit all over my bathtub
>What is this stuff?
ectoplasm
>should I be worried?
you know who to call
D0g i see gh0sts atnoight dont mention ectoplasm
They will just gradually sound like shit as the rest of the liquid leaks out. When that happens, any sound will be just distorted humming.
Seeing as how the conductive 'green liquid' easily flows into the 3.5mm jack and shorting it, you should be unable to hear stereo sound or just short sound off to the void (ground wire).
Anyways, your headphones have pissed themselves, time to change the diapers.
Copper oxidization + moisture in the air.
It's driver oil
I don't see any green liquid around the jack, so I'm going to agree that its corrosion within the jack itself, which would be a really cheap fix if you can solder
flash photog would have been better
it's the fluid inside the green light that makes it glow
The green stuff is copper oxide, i've had that stuff on a USB flash drive once.
