Replacement earphone seals

[Roop]

The earphones supplied with my Sony Ericsson W810i are absolute crackers and by some miracle I ended up with two pairs in the box when I bought the phone and not one. Anyways, the little rubber earphone 'buds' (for want of a better word) sometimes fall off when you remove them from your pocket. I have now lost two of these and as a result one pair of the headphones is budless. If I lose another, I am screwed.

Where can I get genuine Sony Ericsson replacements from...? I looked on the website to no avail. I have seen cheapie non-SE ones on eBay but I know a mate who bought some third part ones and they were cack.

Pointers appreciated...

Probably, but it's just the rubbery 'bud' on the end of the earphone I need. I think I just found them on Amazon but they are six quid just for the buds. Kinell...!!!

Try Sony Ericson support (details will be on their web site)- they'll be able to sell you replacement components (or tell you how to).

I had exactly the same problem with a pair of Philips headphones. Contacted Philips support through their website, they gave me the connect details for the company that resells their components, and they shipped me a replacement set of buds. Cost me less than £4.

Maybe telling them you must have had a bad bunch, as they fell off after a couple of uses, and can they see their way to replace them for free.

Yes, found 'em - These are the ones. Absolute robsville though...!

Not a bad idea but as I bought the phone about 2 years ago or more might not work too well. It's probably discontinued for all I know...!

Meh, gives me an excuse to get some nice Sure, Audio Technica or Ultimate Ears...

Nice one, but aint it odd that the replacement ear bits cost more than a new pair, I have earmarked that one anyway for info, tks.

True although, the earphones you liked to are generics, not SE ones. The SE ones really are very good.
