Sorry, long title - didn't know how best to describe it.

 Much to my amazement, having never thought about it before, I have realised that the end of the A8 third piece of black rubber tubing is in fact a screw-in cap.

The reason that I've just realised this interesting fact if that mine's just fallen out.

Does anyone know where I can get a spare (if available, this may be the smallest spare part on the parts list!).

If it's fallen out, then it's actually more likely that it's snapped off, which makes things difficult to repair (new arm). One of mine has the same 'issue', but in practice, it has no affect on the earphone. The rubber has stayed on fine.

Whether the part is available from B&O, I'm not sure. Basically, unless the rubber around the arm is sliding off continuously, there's no need to change it.

Sorry to be negative but, I hope it's not available!! Why?
The fake ones are distinguishable by the fact that they have shiny metal ends (aluminium?) as opposed to the genuine articled.
Should this piece become easily available, we would have a massive influx of modified fake A8s.

My opinion.
