eartip
Silicone audio cushion
An eartip is the soft, removable piece that fits into the ear canal on earbuds or in-ear headphones.
Eartips come in different sizes and materials—silicone, foam, rubber—to achieve a secure fit and proper sound isolation: The medium eartips were too loose, so I switched to the small ones.
