I lost one of the rubber things on my Sony in-ear headphones. I bought them at home and forgot to bring the spares with me. I went to a couple of small stores like Concierge but they weren't any help. I don't know what to search for on gmarket either.

Does anyone know where I could find spare ones?

Thanks!

Any computer parts store should have some. I keep thinking of the happy mind stores but that is the wrong name.

Here it is store like
http://www.lanstore.co.kr/

Where locations I do not know but they have some of in all the major cities.

Never mind the other noname and other name part stores.

If you live in Seoul. Go to Yongsan Emart Electronic Building and the head phone store on the 3 or 4th floor. They will sell you spare generics.

You could stop by one of those street vendors that sell cheap headphones for 2-3000 won at Yongsan. They usually come with 2-3 sets of med size rubber pieces. That's what I did to replace mine. Still works like a charm

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'll probably just swing by Yongsan if I can't find anything in Sinchon today.

I actually found one on the street randomly but not sure if it's a good idea to use it!

Just in case anyone has the same problem, I found a small pack of about 6 or 8 in the record shop on the street that goes down the hill across from the main gate of Hongik Uni (same street as Dos Tacos). It's on the left as u walk down, about halfway to the main crossroads.
