I've changed mine when needed, around 6-12 months, and it does make a difference.

They keep earwax from getting into the "speaker" portion of the earbud, since these style of earbuds stick into your ear a little ways. There are different kinds of tips available, depending on which type you use you may need to change the filters more often, or not at all.

The filter prevents ear wax from reaching the inner workings of the earpieces. They WILL get clogged eventually and muffle the sound. I just change them when the sound starts to degrade.

It's in the ear . I have tried many earbuds ..most are uncomfortable to me . These are great. Sound is good. I,too, didn't like the iphone buds.

Have you replaced the filter on the side that's going out? I do that every few months and it fixes the issue! MUCH cheaper than replacing the headset - mine's going strong for 4+ years (and I"m not nice to it)

You know, my original thought when I saw your question was,"I don't know." Then I started thinking my ears used to ring bad at times, and I haven't noticed it lately. I still have to say, of all the non Rx units Ibe used, it is STILL the best I've bought... Hope that helps.

Count me as yet one more who, a-Can't use earbuds, and b-Has used these exclusively for at least a decade in spite of the fact that I know I will have to replace them in a year. I was willing to play that game as long as I could get them for as little as five bucks. Now that Sony has done this astonishing thing with the price I am no longer cooperating with what I'm pretty sure is a case of planned breakage. All in all it's a bizarre situation. *Nobody* makes a comparable product? Will certainly post if I find one.

Same here... ordered two sets for my kids (arrived yesterday), each coming with only two pairs of earbuds... not sure what size came on the earbuds themselves, maybe medium? Both of my girls are using the smaller set, which I assume is the 'small'.Edited to add: description of product now states that it comes with TWO sets of earbuds, so it seems Skullcandy made a change and Amazon might have been slow to catch up. Still wondering which sizes it comes with though... is it Large and Small, or Medium and Small? Pretty sure one size is small, as that seems right for my daughters (age 10 and 15), but not sure what the other size is.

KURT GEORGE is just butthurt he can't figure out how earbuds work, these are similar to any modern earbuds. If you aren't like KURT, you can probably select an appropriately sized bud for your ear size/structure which should create a secure fit naturally cancelling noise.Source: if you jam something in your ear, you wont hear good

Cristy Showers, I am unsure as to whether there are replacement buds. Did you not receive the extra 2 pair included with your original purchase? I have found that all the earbuds I have, no matter the brand, the earbud sleeves are interchangeable. I have had probably at lease 6-7 pair of all names & sizes. As long as the little speaker is near about the same size? You can use any kind. I am sure if you contact JVC they can give you more info. I never have them long enough to need replacement. I bought 3 pair of behind the head, over the ear, and ear cup styles now. I have tiny ears, and cannot stand buds anymore. If I were you, go up to a better pair of JVC that surround your ear, you will NOT believe how much better the sound is.

The little foam covers can be changed.....don't know about the earbud. I gave up using it. No one could understand me when I used it. I had a different one that I lost, that I bought at Best Buy.....it was better.

I have been using a pair of these headphones for several years. They continue to work great, but the cushions are beginning to peal off of the earpieces. I did not think of looking for replacements for the cushions to replace them. Instead I bought a new set of headphones. But I would like to try to repair the old ones to save some cash for next time. Will you share where you purchased the replacement cushions? I have used my headphones with several different mp3 players but none of them were ipods.

With this particular filter, we change it every three months, I hope this helps :)

Hi, I have been using it and it works, however the earbuds don't stay seated in my ear very well and causes you to have to adjust them too frequently Not to say that will happen with you for sure but that has been my experience every ear is different. I am shopping for some new earbuds

hey sherry how are you I'm glad I can help you I have had this product for almost a year and it is so great for the value you will need to replace filters 1 is the HEPA filter that's a yearly replacement the carbon filter once every 3 months or depending on how much you use it but I have to say it's quiet and very effective at cleaning the air. I'm just confused on what the V means I'll have to read other posts but again for the value this was a very good one

There is no standard length of time. What generally stops up the filter is ear wax, and people produce differing amts of wax. I've worn my aids for several yrs and I rarely change mine, no more than every 3-4 mos. But I have replaced one in a wk or so, just whenever it clogs with wax. The aid will let you know when the filter needs changing; the volume will drop off or disappear entirely. You think it is the battery, but a new one will not help. If you replace the battery and the sound is very low, or mute, then replace the filter. It generally works.

i went thru this ----it came with the Medium Ear plugs on the ear buds when it came out of the box ---if those fit when you bought it buy a pack of medium replacement ear tips----they are inexpensive ---you can also buy a pack of multi size ear tips just in case ----they are inexpensive too

Dear Amazon, Don't you get it yet? I DIDN'T ORDER THESE EARBUDS. I was out of town when they were ordered (at 2:00 a.m. on my account). I have sent them back to the shipper!

The in ear design works perfectly for it. It is liked wearing ear-plugs. Another example is like, you are in the car with windows rolled up and the mowers noise becomes low sounding humps...you will love it. keep the plug clean with peroxide ($1 bottle) at Rx stores.
