Hi, guys I'm having a real stressful moment right now because I bought a pair of these headphones a while back from [EDIT] in the uk. (A reputable retailer I believe), and I never  used them because they were so nice, I just had them stashed away in their box so they were practically new and in mint condition. So I pulled them out today just to play with them, when i noticed something odd. The top part of the headband felt sticky to the touch, and the pioneer logo had a black smudge on it. So I attempted to clean it gently with a little bit of water and a paper towel and I actually made it worse. The pioneer logo silver paint was beginning to come off. The stickyness of the headband did not come off so I got a microfiber cloth and began to clean it with a little soap. So that took care of the stickyness but the entire paint on the logo came off. So I was wondering if the pair I have received are fake so I was looking up pictures of fakes and they look %100 percent authentic. (or maybe they're just really good fakes) ill post some pictures up, but I'm confused and upset as to why this happened. Did I maybe get a pair from a bad batch. I have my receipt from juno records still ( are they an authorized retailer though?) I'm wondering if this happened because I have stored them in the carrying case they came with, because I don't remember them being sticky when I purchased them. Keep in mind that I have never used them (for dj gigs etc) they were in mint condition, and nobody else had access to them.  I'm just really upset because they are ruined now. =(
