eartips
Silicone earphone covers
Eartips are the soft, usually silicone or foam pieces that attach to the end of earbuds or in-ear headphones and fit inside the ear canal.
They create a seal for better sound quality and noise isolation.
Most earbuds come with multiple sizes—small, medium, large—so users can find the best fit: I switched to the larger eartips and the bass improved dramatically.
