n hardware lusts! :) If you do end up getting one, maybe you'll let me or the list know? I'd be interested in your viewpoint on it.

Hi, I just joined the list and was wondering if anyone owned a pair of these noice cancelling earbuds. The rubber earpiece tore on my pair and I can no longer get a good seal. It seems that Sony no longer manufacturs the earpiece seperatly and I cannot seem to get a hold of them anywhere. D
