I was wondering, are they interchangable between brands and models? my wife gave me a set of JVC HA-FX55 and a set of Logitech Stealth.

I was wondering if replacement tips from headphones from other brands such as Ultimate Ears would fit in either of these

I found a site that sells them and as far as i can tell from the pictures it looks like they will fit.

Does anyone know anything about this? have you replaced the tips in your headphones with ones that are for another brand?

Why not go to the manufacturers first? They've got to offer their own replacement parts. JVC's website is pretty mediocre, but they must have a customer service phone number.

The drawback to canalphones (besides bass response) is that sooner or later those little rubber tips loosen and come off inside your ear. A very slight difference in size from a different brand may mean it comes off a lot sooner. Given the high prices for Ultimate Ears, Etymotic and Shure headphones, you can probably get the right tips more cheaply from the original manufacturer too.

Rayzrayl had fixed his EX-71's with some shrink tubing. I don't know from personal experience. I know he was happy.
