Abstract
An elastomeric component for use with an earbud headphone and for positioning within an auditory canal of an ear includes a distal end configured for insertion within an external portion of the auditory canal and an at least substantially hollow stem region extending proximally from the distal end. The hollow stem may include at least one connection feature configured to interface with another component of an earbud headphone to removably retain the elastomeric component thereon. The elastomeric component may also include an outer portion extending proximally from the distal end and at least substantially surrounding at least a portion of the stem region. The outer portion may include an outer surface having an at least substantially circular cross-sectional shape in a plane perpendicular to a central axis of the elastomeric component. Earbud headphones may include such elastomeric components.
