I went to sleep last night with my ipod playing me some music, through the earphones that came with it. When I woke up this morning, the earphones ended up on the floor, and the left earpiece was missing the foam cover.
I couldn't find the foam cover, and I have no idea where the spare foams that came with them are, but they still work fine. Does anyone know if I can buy just the foam covers, and not spend $40 for an entire new pair?
Thanks :-)

Haha, thats the first place I checked, to see if it was still inside my ear.
Too bad it wasn't... would have been easy to retrieve :-)
I'll look around some more for the spares that came with it, and if I can't find them, I'll try those from RadioShack.
Thanks :-)

These work well also, they are silicon and not foam (http://www.radioshack.com/product.asp?catalog%5Fname=CTLG&product%5Fid=33-1994) :) :) :)
I kno they sell em at msuic stores like HMV and Music World. I find that I lose them easily too. I've lost bout a couple so far.

Does anyone actually use those silicon things? I bought a set and was very disappointed. They sort of fit, but they also touch the earphone part and change the sound -- much less bass and more tinny. Or maybe it's just how they sit in my ears.
