I have a couple pairs of Sony earbud-like headphones like this:

The soft, removable, plastic molding around the earbuds come off frequently and I keep losing them. The earphones work just fine, and it's a shame to have to buy new ones just to get the little plastic things. I take the plastic things off of some other earbuds that aren't quite as good (eg, ones from my XM Inno, etc); further, the different-sized moldings that come with the Sony earbuds don't fit in my ear quite as well.

Does this make any sense? If so, can I get replacements from somewhere?

I suspect this is a FAQ, but I have yet to find a similar thread (possibly because I'm not sure of the terminology used for the search).

Try eBay (http://search.ebay.com/ex51_W0QQfkrZ1QQfromZR8), Sony (http://servicesales.sel.sony.com/web/viewItemDetail.do?operation=getItemDetail&itemID=137574&searchOperation=modelSearch&searchText=EX51LP), or the EX51/71/81 tip exchange (http://forums.ilounge.com/showthread.php?t=75979) thread.
