Folks,

My daughter decided to have a chew on the mic cover of the headset we
use for videoconferencing.

I can't believe that these are not available to buy in generic form,
but my Google searches have so far only revealed large 40mm sizes.
This one would have to be closer to 8-12mm.

I'm in the UK and would appreciate being pointed in either a dot.com
or brick and mortar direction please.

You'll probably find what you want he-

But it may well cost not far short of a cheap headset complete. ;-(

Thanks, both sites do appear to have the part I need, however, you're
not far off about the prices. For a £15 mic it would sting a bit to
pay £5 for a foam cover.

Surely these have to be available somewhere in bulk. I am suprised
Maplins only has large ones for vocal mics.

I could buy a sponge block and carve my own out!

Not quite that simple for a decent windgag. The foam is a special
construction and is carved while frozen solid.

Over on the left side of the Pond, RadioShack sells those
little foam windscreens the size of your fingertip for use as
replacements for cell phone headsets, etc. At least last
time I checked, they did.

(No connection with tammsdirect.com) but you know their price is for two?
They're about 50 pence cheaper if you buy them in tens :-)
The only other source for such things I know is China (through Ebay) at
least for earbuds etc but you'll end up paying OTT for postage even if you
pay .99p for twenty.

That's a point - might be worth trying a phone shop.

Get a chunk of open cell foam, and carve and melt up a new one. You can dye
it with fabric store dye.
