I know.

These are $4 earphones, so probably no capacitors in them.

Do you think that's what causes the silicone to melt?

Same sort of question, same demands for answers, same responses.

Why has <fill in> degraded? What can be done to fix it? What exact air temp and humidity will stop it?

The answer to every question you will ever have is entropy.
