Replacement sleeves for JVC Air Cushion
I need replacement sleeves for my JVC Air Cushions. The medium ones fit the best. The large ones are the only ones I have left and are too large for my ears. Any recommendations for replacement sleeves at a reasonable price? Comfort is more important than isolation.- fearless

Currently looking for an amp to go in between my Chaintech AV710 and Senn 497's. I had a mint amp but it died on me about 4 months ago. I loved the sound, but I've had nothing else to compare it to.
