I've had this set of Sony earbuds for years now and the little doughnut cushions are shot. Where can I buy replacements? Preferably online. Thanks.

There's gotta be somewhere else besides FleaBay; I really don't have much confidence in them these days, anyway.

Don't make me post a pic of these ratty, earwax-covered, torn up cushions! :p

I would be more than happy to PayPal you postage for them. Something so simple...you'd think they'd be everywhere. They're not. The local electronics emporium has 23,352 sets of headphones and earbuds for sale. But no replacement covers. :confused:

I've never hear a $100+ set of in-ear phones, but I've bought several sets of under-$50 buds and this five year old Sony set sounds better than any of them.

Uh Shures? Etymotics? Super Fi 5Pros? I'm totally afraid to buy those because one of my pairs of Sony Fontopias got run over by my office chair. While my other pair has lasted me almost 4 years now, I think it's still unwise for me to switch to a more expensive pair.

I have a total of 4 pairs of fontopias--2 from my Sony Ericsson phones. I have NO spare foam covers (medium size). Additionally, I've traded my small ones for medium ones from my friend. With that said I've gone through at least 8 of them? Heh... I lose them too much =P

Aren't they all pretty much the same size? Just buy a pair of a cheapo $5.00 buds and, whamo! problem solved :D
