Never use any solvent cleaning agents!
You may need to change the ear pads from time to time as a result of normal wear and tear. This is easy to do yourself:

• Remove the ear pad carefully from the mounting ring of the ear cup.
  
• Attach the new ear pad to the ear cup by pulling it over the mounting ring.

Avoid strong movements when using wired headphones. You might seriously hurt yourself especially if you wear piercings, earrings, glasses, etc., where the wire can get caught.
