Like most folks (I suspect) I hate the standard Apple earphones that came with my iPhone. The little buggers would NOT stay firmly planted in my ears. So, I bit the bullet and bought the "premium" Apple earphones with the little rubber buds on them. I know that they come with an assortment of bud sizes for different ears. However, if you loose one that is not the size you need, apparently Apple doesn't sell the rubber buds by themselves. My problem has been, the little buds kept popping off. So far I've been able to recover the little buggers when that's happened, but I one of these days, I know that one of those buds will pop off and will be lost for good.

Well, I decided to use a little rubber cement on the post, then push the ear bud back onto the post! Since using a dab of cement to hold the buds, they have not once popped off! Just thought I'd pass this tip along in case anyone else has the problem with the rubber buds popping off.
