★★★★★

"I like to have the smallest footprint possible because that attracts the least attention, which is important when you are recording wildlife, the best way to achieve this is with a lavalier microphone and a Windbubble."

★★★★★

"I really like the Bubblebee Concealer products for lavalier microphones. The rubber mounts...and the metal guards stop friction noise from reaching my mic capsule."

★★★★★

"I used a lavalier & a Windbubble and the result was fantastic, despite the wind blowing directly onto the microphone. You couldn't hear it at all. It was such a relief to have equipment I could trust."

What Sidekick models is this kit compatible with?

The Sidekick Spares Kit is compatible with both The Sidekick 3 In-Ear Monitor and the Sidekick Broadcast Earpiece.

What's included in the Spares Kit?

The kit includes replacement filters, multiple sizes of ear tips, a cleaning tool, and a protective carrying pouch.

How often should I replace the ear tips?

What ear tip sizes are included?

The kit includes small, medium, and large ear tips to ensure a comfortable fit for any ear size.

How do I clean my Sidekick earpiece?

Use the included cleaning tool to gently remove debris from the sound tube. Wipe the ear tips with a damp cloth. Never use water or liquids on the earpiece itself.

Can I purchase individual replacement parts?

Yes, filters are available separately as The Sidekick Filter (8-pack). The Spares Kit offers the best value if you need multiple types of replacement parts.

Are these the same parts that come with a new Sidekick?

Yes, all parts in the Spares Kit are identical to those included with your original Sidekick purchase.

How do I change the filters?

Will worn ear tips affect sound quality?
