What do the black earbud covers for the factory earbuds do?

[swfan28]

They're pretty hard to put on for one thing... but are they there for any specific use? I don't use them but I see that many people do.

it makes them a little more comfortable and helps them stay in your ear better. that's all.

i disagree with both of your points draco.
i think it truley depends on what feels best for you.

[draco]

yeah, it is subjective, i agree.
