I lost one of the earbuds for my Apple In-ear Headphones with Mic. Now what do It do?

I lost one of the earbuds for my Apple In-ear Headphones with Mic.
In case you don't see why this could be a big deal, let me remind you that these little earphones will run you $79 new. Naturally, I'm sure there's got to be a reasonable solution that another owner of these headphones may know of or can share with me.
Should I bring it to the Apple store or will they just laugh at me?
Basically, all I'm missing is the jelly-like in-ear bud on one side (which is easily replaceable; I just need to know where I can order GENUINE extras from).
Click here to see the Apple In-ear Headphones I'm referring to.

I've tried several and the best by far is the Sennheiser MM50 iP ($99 at the apple store). The sound is incredible, particularly the low frequecy response (bass). These are even better than the Bose Triports I used for my iPod, plus they have the mic and button for recieving calls and ipod playback. I also have the airdrives, which don't even compare for sound quality and range because they aren't in-ear (they sit directly in front of the ear canal). I still use the airdrives in situations where I want music distraction but still want to hear what's happening around me, but for in-ear sound quality and iPhone functionality I don't think you're going to find better for the Sennheisers for under $100. In fact I don't think their is anything under $250 right now that would match it for performance, comfort and functionality.
Note: these are asymmetrical which means the cord for the right earbud goes behind your neck to the right ear. I found this strange at first but now I actually like it because it allows you to pull the earlplugs out and just let them rest over your neck/shoulders.

  • Does Apple make/sell the new "Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic" with a one sided configuration? So that a person that is deaf in one can hear both sides of a stereo recording? Also, since the "other" bud is not necessary/useful...it's removed.

    As far as I know, Apple sells no such configuration.  However, under Settings > General > Accessability, there is an option to play back audio in monoural mode, which would then play both halves of a stereo mix in each earbud.
    Hope that helps.

  • Is it possible to get custom eartips for the Apple In-ear headphones?

    A year or so ago I purchased the Apple In-ear headphones. I use them primarily in the car when my brother plays his music through the car stereo while I'm watching a movie on my iPod Touch or my MacBook Pro. They have very good isolation, but are uncomforable and it is very hard to get them to fit in my ears properly as well as keeping them from working themselves out of my ears. This is with me using the small eartips as the large eartips don't fit in my ears at all and the medium eartips make my ears hurt more than the small eartips along with not fitting as well.
    I think custom eartips may be the best solution to my quandry.

  • Will apple replace my headphones with new ones?

    hi iv had my headphones for almost 1 year now..
    the rubber has came off the headphones and the sound quality has faded
    will apple replace these?
    i still have the box and receipt

    Apple will only not replace them if they have been damaged through misuse or an accident. If they have been used properly they are warranted to work for one year. If they failed at 11 months and 29 days it does not matter that they've been "well loved and well used", they are supposed to last for one full year. Unless they purchase AppleCare then it is two years.
    Doc M wrote:
    By all means, take them in and see what they say. I could be quite mistaken.
    deggie--
    AppleCare states:
    Your Plan covers defects for the Applebranded product(s) listed in your Planʼs Certificate or Proof of Coverage document (“Plan Confirmation”) and the accessories that are contained in the product(s) original packaging (“Covered Equipment”),
    (ii) Under APP for iPod, Apple will provide technical support for the Covered Equipment, iPod OS
    and software applications that are pre-installed with the Covered Equipment (both referred to as
    "iPod Software") and connectivity issues between the Covered Equipment and a supported
    computer, meaning a computer that meets the Covered Equipmentʼs connectivity specifications and
    runs an operating system that is supported by the Covered Equipment. Apple will provide support
    for the then-current version of the iPod Software, and the prior supported Major Release.
    Also--I never said that they shouldn't take them back--just to not be surprised if they were not replaced. They may well be, and as stated above, +I could be quite mistaken.+
    I am also presuming that these are not the stock earbuds that come with iPods, but a set of headphones that may not be stock issue. (They may not even be Apple-brand.) If these are the Apple in-ear headphones with remote that one buys as a standalone purchase, then they should be replaced if under a year. If these are the Dr. Dre sets...who knows? I am working with the information I got from the original poster.
    I guess I've worked too much retail, and have seen too many worst-case scenarios. I'd rather see them get replaced (and be incorrect) than to say yes, they'll be replaced no questions asked--and find out later they weren't.
    Still--a year warranty should be a year warranty....

    My current situation: I have soooo many texts on my iphone and I haven't deleted many because I need the information contained in them for future reference and for legal purposes.  I would really like to find a means and way to save them other than on the phone itself. I've done searches for various apps yet I'm not finding what I think I would need.  It appears Apple does not sync the texts between the iphone and my MacBook Pro.
    Try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):

  • I lost one of my eartips for my in-ear headphones. Apple won't help me and i don't know where else to go

    I just lost one of my eartips for my in earheadphones. Apple doesnt sell them on their site and also no other store in my country sells them. I called to the supportnumber but they told me that i 'll cost me 25 euros. 25 euros for a set of three rubber eartips from which i only need one?! (size s). Also i need to pay with a credit card, which i haven't got. So basically there is no way for me to get the replacement tips. Is there anything else i can do? Any number i can cal to complain about it? Because i feel like i''m gettng screwed. And no i dont want ear tips from a different brand. Thanks.

    I wandered streets of Sydney including Apple store to be told these are not available however, I have since successfully purchased from
    http://www.dealsishop.com
    who provide the silcone plugs in all 3 sizes promptly and quite affordably. They seem to stay on better than the original Apple [product that comes with the headsets. Delivery was quick and an easy way to shop, recommneded fully, now placing another order for friends and family!

  • We are trying to delete one of the hierarchies for profit center

    We are trying to delete one of the hierarchies for profit center.
    The purpose is that this hierarchy group has become obsolete but still appears in the portal in the input selection screen.
    Will the deletion of a hierarchy impact the bookmarks which consists that hierarchy?
    If any one has tried this before just let us know.
    Thanks in advance.

    It doesn't effect any boomarks that has the obsolete structure.

  • I,m looking for handsfree for iphone 4s, which one is the best for it

    i,m looking for handsfree for iphone 4s, which one is the best for it

    I really like the Plantronics Voyager Pro bluetooth headset.  I have tried a lot of the ones on the market and the Plantronics one that I now use has - a long battery life, excellent sound quality and very low background noise. I occasionally use it when in a vehicle (although I do try to avoid doing this) and people on the other end of the line don't even realise that I am in a car.

  • HT203167 I was downloading an album off of iTunes and it did not download one of the songs for some reason what should I do?

    I was downloading an album off of iTunes and it did not download one of the songs for some reason what should I do?

    Does the Store > Check For Available Downloads menu option find it ? If not, then depending upon what country that you are in (music can't be re-downloaded in all countries), does it show under the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store home page on your computer's iTunes for downloading (if there is an complete download of the track listed in the Music part of your library then you will need to delete it from there before it will get the cloud symbol in Purchased for redownloading) ?
    If you can't download it via either of the above then try the 'report a problem' page to contact iTunes Support : http://reportaproblem.apple.com
    If the 'report a problem' link doesn't work then you can try contacting iTunes support via this page : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/- click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Purchases, Billing & Redemption

  • The on/off button on my 6th gen iPod nano recently got spoilt and I sent it back to the shop for a repair/exchange a week ago. Now I have just found out about the new 7th gen iPod nano and I am wondering, can I get the new one as a replacement?

    No.  You can turn your 6G Nano in to be recycled at your local Apple Store for a 10% discount towards the purchase of a new one. Otherwise, your only other option would be to sell the iPod on Craigslist or eBay and use the proceeds from the sale towards the purchase of the new 7G nano.

    The warranty for ipod nano in india is here:

    Im not really sure but some resellers have their own warranty.
    If the iPod is brand new, it should have the apple one year limited warranty
