ARE THE EAR BUD HARD PLASTIC

Ear bud is a soft material that goes in your ear but the outer is a hard plastic. Hope that helps?

They're plastic, but I wouldn't call it hard. They're not rubber, just not of a high enough quality for rigid plastic. It's like a cheap plastic reusable cup plastic.

Not sure because I've only had them a month but they are uncomfortable. Maybe my ears are small. My 18 month old was able to remove the actual bud. Pretty cheap.

The actual soft plastic bud is straight. The earbud isn't curved per se. However, the part that connects the bud and the cord is slightly offset so it fits a little better in your ear. I've laid down on a bed and against a window in a bud without discomfort. This might be a better picture: http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_48518_Panasonic-RPHJE120A-RP-HJE120-A-Blue-In-Ear-Headphones-Earbuds.html?utm_source=google&utm;_medium=paid_search&utm;_campaign=paid_search_google_pla&scid;=scplp3790328&gclid=CLfvnNWF8boCFYQ7OgodPGYABQ

If you are talking about the flexible plastic piece that goes into your ear...look on Amazon for replacement ear buds for the ICON. If the actual hard plastic the ear buds go on I think you need to replace the whole Jawbone...GOOD LUCK!!

No, they have plastic on the back. I put some foam on the back to reduce loss of sound to the living area. They really work great for the money.

Yes, they are plastic and my son loves them but two of the 4 I bought him no longer works because they are pretty fragile. You cannot toss them hard at all,if you do they will stop working. As long as you are gentle they are a cool toy to have.

No as others stated, I will say these are very durable ear buds. I am rough on mine and use daily. The tugging, and abuse they take on my job is a lot. They still sound great.

They are hard plastic. I have found them very useful for storing as well as micrwaving and they match my dinnerware!

They are hard plastic. I definitely would not recommend wearing them to Disney.

The outside part (the hearts) are hard plastic. The part that goes in the ear is a soft piece of silicone over a plastic rod. The silicone comes in different sizes and can be changed so kids can use whatever size is most comfortable.

I think that they are plastic. The jacks were birthday presents for my students. I really don't remember.

Mine are molded plastic. Not uncomfortable, but not soft like padded either.

Mine did not come with a plastic base. They were just foam which stretched to fit the earpiece.

Yes, they are rigid plastic. I got them as a gift for someone. No complaints from her about them.

The traditional "bud earphones" do hurt my ears. The new style "in ears" do not. I have been using "in ears" for about eight years and I have had no problems, including these pink sports ones.
