earpiece seal comes unattached (2nd time)AfterShokz Aeropex - Lunar Gray

I absolutely love these headphones but for the 2nd time, the earpiece seal has come unattached. They still work but it concerns me that they have lost the sweat and moisture protection. I purchased my original set in june of 2021 and sent them in for warranty later that year but again I'm having the same issue. I'm a mail carrier and use these every day. They make my busy work life easier to manage on the go.
I have been wearing these for 2 years (aftershokz). I have returned 2 pair and own 2 pair. First failed with vibration and 2nd failed with no charging. Warranty was great and easy. Note ** it's buried in the paperwork but very important, do not leave them on charge long after full as it damages the battery. Could be what happened to no 2. I wear mine riding the motorcycle and on the side by side and every other place. I have little hearing with my right ear but heart music fantastic on that side with these. I get about 14 hours if I'm not talking on the phone and only listening to music. Offered a pair to a legally dead person and she now listens to music as never before. My ENT now recommends them based on my love.
Communication in the law enforcement profession is crucial. With multiple high band and low band radio`s squawking continuously throughout each shift while conducting multi function task with cell phone etc. the SHOKZ are a new an much appreciated piece of my daily equipment. Having the open ear available now has provided much more clarity over the Ear Bud`s I`ve used in the past. No more hearing obstruction. That means more proficiency, safety and comfort for myself and other`s. The water resistance is another plus as well. Umbrella`s are normally not an option when involved in foot pursuits and working large highway incidents in heavy weather. Eventually I will probably try the mini just for the snugness on the back of the head. My exterior Ballistic vest chaffs the new SHOKZ just a little. That's not a viable complaint just a note is all.
The only problem is there must have been a small rubber cover for the charging plug that I never even knew I had to look for and now its missing. Another very minor complain is the left click button could have a bit more a bump so you know where to press it.
I bought these at the high recommendation of my boss and have not been disappointed. They are so lightweight and the sound quality is great! I have blue tooth in my car but having this headset takes away all the noises of the car and traffic and I don’t feel like I’m yelling. I do a lot of yard work on the weekends and really like the fact that I can listen to music yet still be aware of my surroundings because my ears aren’t plugged with a device.
