Description
The Sidekick Filter is a specialized tool designed to change the driver's white speaker filter on your Sidekick In-Ear Monitor.

Each pack contains 8 filter replacement tools, which under normal conditions will easily last for the entire lifespan of your Sidekick. The filter change process is simple and covered in the Sidekick manual—just follow the instructions to restore crystal-clear audio.
A smart backup to keep in your kit bag for those rare occasions when you need it.

Hear from the sound professionals who rely on BubbleBee gear.
No Time To Die (James Bond), Guardians of The Galaxy, Les Miserables (Oscar Winner)
"This kind of bespoke customer service alongside the fantastic products Bubblebee design is why I'm so impressed with the company. Thank you!"
Formula E (BBC, Eurosport, Mediaset), Goggle Box (Studio Lambert)
"Our presenters (Nicki Shields & Vernon Kay) were very happy with The Sidekicks and were able to wear them for long stretches of time because they were so comfortable."
Dune Part Two, Planet Earth III, House of the Dragon
"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."
Bound, The Kill Room, Los Cos
"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."
Photographer of the Year AAP 2021, International Photography Awards 2021
"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."
FAQs
Please read our FAQs page to find out more.
What Sidekick models are these filters compatible with?
The filters are compatible with both The Sidekick 3 In-Ear Monitor and the Sidekick Broadcast Earpiece.
How many filters come in each pack?
Each pack contains 8 Sidekick Filter tools, each with one replacement filter cap.
How often should I replace the filters?
Replace the filter when earwax or dirt build-up affects sound quality.
How do I change the filter?
Use the Filter tool: insert its empty end and pull out the old filter cap from the driver, turn the tool 180 degrees, press the new filter cap firmly into the driver, then discard the tool and the old cap.
Can clogged filters affect sound quality?
Yes, wax and debris buildup on filters can significantly reduce audio clarity and volume. Regular filter replacement ensures optimal performance.
Are these the same filters that come with new Sidekick earpieces?
Yes, these are the exact same replacement filters included with your original Sidekick purchase.
Can I clean filters instead of replacing them?
While light cleaning may extend filter life, replacement is recommended for best results. Filters are consumable items designed for periodic replacement.
Will using old filters damage my earpiece?
Clogged filters won't damage the earpiece, but they can impact sound quality. Fresh filters ensure you're getting the best audio experience from your Sidekick.
Do I need any special tools to change filters?
Use the Sidekick Filter tool itself; each tool carries one new filter. Do not use a pin or other tools: incorrect fitting with other tools may damage the driver and will void the warranty.
Are these filters also included in the Sidekick Spares Kit?
Yes, the Sidekick Spares Kit includes filters along with other replacement parts. This filter pack is ideal if you only need filters.
