You can buy replacement earpads for most brands of headphones.

It’s normal wear and tear, it’s in those particular spots because you wear glasses. The cushions or pads are a wear part and are user replaceable.

I have glasses and the same problem, I think the glasses chafe against the plastic leather without one noticing until it breaks.

That’s normal wear and tear for over-ear headphones. You should expect for these ear cushions to eventually wear out. They are constantly rubbing against your glasses, earrings, headband, etc. as well as just your ears/head. Unfortunately, they should be considered consumables. Fortunately, as others mention here, there are multiple first-party and third-party replacement pads on the market, so you can replace just the pads as they wear out.

Pleather/fake leather ear pads do that after continuous use for a long time and it’s unfortunately normal. You can change them with new ear pads and if you’re lucky, you can find them made by different materials. Be careful, the material of the ear pads actually effects the sound that you will hear from your headphones.

Those cushions wear out after a while, you can buy replacements. Make sure to buy the exact same type and thickness or the sound might be much worse.
