The soft cover over my right earbud keeps falling off for some reason and I have to keep pulling it back over the earbud. It's not easy and it's annoying to have to repeatedly do it. The other earbud is fine, so I'm not sure why it's doing that.
Maybe apply some tiny dabs of superglue to the piece that keeps falling off? Sounds like it was made just a tad too big. These things happen.
I think Kingfish's suggestion is good, as long as you make sure the glue doesn't cover any speaker holes. Maybe you can dab the superglue on right under the edge of the cover.
Well, $40 does sound like something JVC would do, but not making something comparable to a high end Sony. Looks like they're stepping up their game and that's good for everyone.
I don't know how many earbuds I have gotten rid of because of the covers falling off. I finally resorted to the headphones that fit over the ear. I never thought of trying to use super glue.
