I have this amazing ability to lose the foam covers that come with my ipod headphones.

Any way I can get more of them? I've been looking around, and haven't found anyone just selling new foam covers.

Radio Shack carries black ones. Not as pretty, but they work.

At least they do in the here in the lower 48. They may have been diplaced in favor of Polar Bear repellant up there.

I'm not serious about that Polar Bear thing.

Thanks, the Radio Shacks up here are generally pretty terrible (maybe they're terrible everywhere?), but I'll go take a look.

If you have any 'Dollar stores' where everything is one dollar, go take a look there. While I was visiting my parents, I found some really cheap headphones that came with 4 black foam thingies for $1. I bought a bunch of them since I tend to lose the foam thingies too. Before I bought these, I did buy a 4pk from Radio Shack and they sucked. They fell off easy and didn't seem to work as well as these dirt cheap ones from the dollar store And the RS ones were $1.79 for 4 foams, no spare headphones!

I haven't found anywhere that sells the grayish ones though.

Good luck,

tarkap

I just gave up and wear them without the foam. I clean my ears regularly so I don't think I need worry about damaging the speaker.

lol same thing here clark.

I suppose you can ask apple for another 4 pack too but chances are they'll be greedy and try to charge you $20 geez.

Meh just use em naked. My ears are really clean and they slip outta my ears with or without the covers lol
