Hello

I recently drop one of my Sony headphone "medium" size ear-bud plastic thingy. Where is a cheap place to get another replacement?

http://www.sonystyle.ca/commerce/servlet/ProductDetailDisplay?storeId=10001&langId=-1&catalogId=10001&productId=1004463&navigationPath=46881n100128n100133

Sony sells a set of that includes 2 small, 2 med and 2 large. I don't need all three so I don't want to get it from them.

Anyone have any good suggestion? I know Shure makes one of the best headphones, I was wondering if their ear-bud makes any difference?

Thanks you all in advance.

I had the exact same problem. They do fall off a little too easily, don't they? I ended up going to the local Sony store and buying that set you're talking about. Yeah I didn't need all those sizes, but... it wasn't very expensive either. Still I would've rather just bought the medium ones instead.

I usually get my spares off of ebay. And yes, different brands can effect the seal that they get in your ear, which in turn may effect the way the headphones sound. But not all flanges will fit all headphones.
