NoshowJones Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 I have posted about this before, am I the only poster who cannot keep earbuds in my ear? I have three sets and they have all fallen out of my ears from time to time. Now this time one fell out and landed on the tiled floor and broke. Is it possible to replace one earbud, or do I have to replace the full set? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralf001 Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Replacement of one would surely be a question for the manufacturer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppysdad Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 I had a similar problem but found on Lazada some memory foam replacements which have solved my fitting problem. My wife lost one of hers a couple of years ago and was able to order just one replacement, make sure that you know if it’s the left or right one though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Purdey Posted October 22, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2023 I have the same problem, which is why I only use wired earphones. Why would you keep replacing them? 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will have seen that these are 'bone conduction' and the speaker sits just outside the ear. I haven't had chance to make great use of mine yet, but they seem effective - and comfortable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gargamon Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 People around you can get annoyed if you have those bone conduction earphones when you play your music loud as they can hear it too. Try something like this. Never falls out. Oh, and this particular one is probably fake as mi doesn't manufacture this afaik. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daveAustin Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Alternatively, when you buy a new pair of standard ones, certain brands, like Sennheiser, will supply a range of buds to accommodate different ear sizes. CX250 for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FolkGuitar Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 Hearing aid wearers have been dealing with this problem for years... and solving it. Go to a hearing aid shop and ask for 'sports retainers' for your devices. They are silicon strips that curl around inside the outer ear shell, locking the device into the ear canal. (The retainers shown here are still straight because they are unused. Normally they would be curled into a 'c' configuration following the shape of your ear) You can see them attached to the bottoms of the hearing aids in the picture. They even hold my hearing aids in place putting on and taking off my motorcycle helmet. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just buy wired headsets with ear clips at 7 and replace them every two years. I only use them for infrequent telephone calls, so no real problem. Anything with batteries, i.e. almost everything these days, is eventually an expensive headache. Don't even get me started on electric vehicles. At my age I hope to never buy one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its reliable seller of ''soft'' products, like shoes, vitamins for my dogs. Ive just bought a Kingston product and the advice i got from a learned friend is, in order to avoid fake electronic products, is to buy on Lazada (i) from the genuine/official store, not the ''mall' and (ii) if it says ''warranty by vendor'' - run.

Scottish friend bought a Tesla, left it parked overnight at home.. came back and the battery was dead - due to rain water damage, according to Tesla. Not covered by warranty. new system is costing him 20+k quid. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume I will have to contact the earbud manufactor which is Nubwo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cheap copies of Bluetooth headsets with mic are not very good. You need a good brand like plantronics. I just use wired now. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
