I'm not sure if I should just leave it alone or not, so I'm asking this. My earphones inner transparent disc thing (don't know what it's called) is pushed in. I JUST saw it like this today after I got my earphones back from my friend (and I just knew I shouldn't of lent them to him) I was just removing these non Samsung buds from the earphones because my friend lost the buds that were already on there and thought everything would be okay if he put on some funky green colored buds. Luckily I had spares. So I removed the funky green buds on the right one, and then the left one, and noticed the transparent thingy was pushed in. I left a picture but please don't talk about how unclean they are unless you are going to leave my proper cleaning instructions. Oh and how can I properly repair this?(busted one is on the left) please help, thanks :)

I don't see any dirt (the proper cleaning solution for ear wax is hydrogen peroxide - applied VERY sparingly with a Q-tip - it'll water-damage the earbud if it gets inside).

But a new set of good earbuds (at least as good as the ones that come with the phone) cost all of about $10-$15, so is it really worth the time, effort and expense of repairing the ones you have?
