10 Pack of Black Foam Earbud Earpad Replacement Sponge Covers for iPod & Stereo Headsets

Common Problem Number 1: The holes in these foam earbud covers are much smaller than expected.SOLUTION: Don't worry. This is the way these foam earbud covers are supposed to be. If the holes were larger, these foam earbud covers would fall off too easily. Slowly and gently stretch the hole to make it larger, then slowly and gently fit it over the earbud by stretching it on.Common Problem Number 2: Specks of dust are on the foam.SOLUTION: Use a weakened-stick tape to get them off.Common Problem Number 3: The foam disintegrates into dust after several months of storage in a sealed, airtight plastic bag.SOLUTION: You'll need to buy more if the foam disintegrates into dust. The cause could be a chemical reaction with the air that only happens if there is no ventilation. The chemicals from the human skin are not the cause.Please keep in mind: Scientific studies say that people who use cell phones for more than ten years will double to quadruple their risk of developing brain cancer on the side of their head that they always use their cell phone.Even the side of their head that is always farthest from their cell phone will have a 20% to 50% higher risk of developing brain cancer compared to people who never use cell phones.People who use an earbud and always keep their cell phone at least 12 inches away from their brain will not have a higher risk of developing brain cancer compared to people who never use cell phones.

For the price, it works. If you are picky, then you will note these are not as padded as the OEMs. So while I could comfortably rest my head on the pillows with the headphones on with the OEMs, these hurt my ears a little. Regular usage however won't show that kind of a subtle difference. It feels like the same thing standing up or sitting down or running or whatever. I sometimes fall asleep with the headphones on, and I noticed it only then. Also, when the sound is at the max, the quality doesn't come through as well as the OEMs. Once again, during regular usage, and most songs (even if the volume is max), you can't really notice the difference. Once in a great while, you'll notice it. So, for all practical sense and purposes, I think it's a great replacement. With the extra pairs, I rather be able to keep replacing and keeping fresh pads on, then using the same OEM pads for months, or, yuck, years.

I have a great set of earbuds for my Walkman MP3 player, but the foam pads on it were wearing out and started to rip apart. I was then using those earbuds without any pads and the music was totally lacking in power and the deep, rich bass that I so loved was virtually gone. I also had to turn up the volume on the player much higher than I would normally have it set at to get the same amount of volume. I began thinking that those foam pads were what my my music sound so great. I didn't know if you could buy those replacement pads anywhere (I've never seen them in stores) so I decided to look for them on Amazon. I was so very happy that there were several foam pad sets available. I bought this paticular set and it arrived quite quickly. I put a pair on my earbuds and what a difference!!! I got my deep bass response and overall dynamics back again!!! I was also able to turn the volume down again to the level that I used to have it on. If you have a pair of ear buds that do not have foam pads (and most of them that you buy today do not) then get a set of these pads and put them on your earbuds. You'll be amazed at the incredible improvement in sound quality!!! This is definitely a worthwhile purchase and for such a low price, you realy can't go wrong.

This is an item that I really didn't think I would find, but I am glad I tried. These replacement foam pads for mostly the old style earbuds breathed a new life into an old set that I have. I always liked the earbuds but using them without pads on them hurt the inside of my ears after just a few minutes of use. The buds have a great sound and came with a Sony Discman that I once had, so I decided to try to find some pads for them. Naturally I went to Amazon's site and did a search in electronics. The search returned all kinds of replacements for exact models of buds, so I kept scrolling through the results until I came upon the ones that I am reviewing. Actually when I found these, I also found several other similar products, but they were for higher quantities, and I did not need that many, so I bought the smaller package. The hole in these pads are so small that I thought I was going to damage them trying to put them on, but with a little persuasion they finally slid on and they fit perfectly. They put some new life into my old earbuds that I would never throw away, because they sound so great. When in doubt, look on Amazon.

I bought these to protect my Philips In-Ear Headphones Extra Bass SHE2650/28, which unfortunately lost its rubber covers. At first I thought the headphones' round profile would make this impossible, but the foam covers actually fit well. They're snug and make my headphones stay in my ears better than the original covers. Fitting them on is a bit delicate and not for people with big, thick fingers, but the covers do stretch just enough to allow you to apply them. Here's how I did mine:1. Fluff out the foam covers. You may want to use something thin and blunt like the eraser end of a pencil by pushing it into the opening a little.2. Wipe off the earpiece of the headphone.3. Push the earpiece into the cover's opening such that PART of the earpiece is covered by PART of the cover in the way it's supposed to fit. It does not have to be a big part; a 1/4 or 1/5 is enough. Once you're done, hold the part of the cover in place with a finger. The key here is to provide a starting point.4. Here's the delicate part: working from the starting point, tug the lip of the cover opening up and around the earpiece. Be careful to grab just the lip and not the other side of the cover. Work your way around the earpiece until it's covered.
