One of mine has the same 'issue', but in practice, it has no affect on the earphone. The rubber has stayed on fine.</p> <p> 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.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/37363.aspxWed, 08 Aug 2007 11:18:54 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:37363kaka0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/37363.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=13&PostID=37363<p>Sorry, long title - didn&#39;t know how best to describe it.</p><p>&nbsp;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.</p><p>The reason that I&#39;ve just realised this interesting fact if that mine&#39;s just fallen out.</p><p>Does anyone know where&nbsp;I can get a spare (if available, this may be the smallest spare part on the parts list!).</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
