How to clean my old headphones? (alien.top)

How do I clean my leather pads on my 8 year old ATH-M20X, the stains have come after I left them unused for about 3.5 years?

I tried water (damp cloth) and some nail polish remover as well?

Is this because the leather has dried? Would applying oil lightly help? Would wearing them as it is harm my ear in any way. They sound really good to me and I want to use them as monitors for my guitar so any suggestions or recommendations or experience is greatly appreciated!

You can get OEM replacements, the leather on those look cooked.

I was scared about the authentic feel till now, but since OEM are available for other higher models and they seem to fit this as well, I feel, putting a few bucks after these many years is worth it for maintaining the feel and just because they are still so damn good!
