They are are wrapped around the earbud cap head just like the stock wings. You can't see that from the pic cause the foam is hiding all that. I put the foams on by putting a little hole in the foam on the side and then sliding the wing tips through the hole before fitting it on the earbud cap fully. That worked out perfectly. Of course the wings didn't magically fit like a glove, I had to do a bit of cutting with a scissors as some of the plastic was covering the front and back of the earbud after I yanked them on. I didn't think they would stay on without some glue but so far they are secure enough for me trial them out. If, in a couple of days use I don't find any issues with comfort I'll glue them on permanently.

Ok, that's what I meant. I have a few packs of wings from BT earbuds that I bought my wife, and they just have contact points, but don't wrap around the 'bud to stay on. I was assuming a touch of "hot glue" here and there would keep them on. I ended up buying another few from AliExpress that are like the VE ones.

Ended up glueing it to approx one third of the cap only. I noticed the cap can rotate when assembled, enough so that it gives me an adjustment option to get the right fit in the ear. Looks a bit messy but when the foam pad is on it's not noticeable. I roughened the cap with sandpaper to ensure a strong bond and used 'superglue' which is one of those instant bond glues.

Edit: if anyone tries this be very careful with the superglue as it would be very easy for it to spill and go somewhere you don't want it to go.

The Asura 2s are phenomenal. I use them more than the Zens - simply because they sound better with thin foams (where the Zen sound better naked). I prefer the comfort and stability of foam.

Anyone know a good $30-60 earbud upgrade to the monks? Also what foam tips have you guys replaced the stock ones with?

why not a bluemonk?

they take a monk + and upgrade the sound (to my ears) to an almost audiophile/studio monitor sound sig,

I am still surprised at the lack of attention this version of the monk+ gets
