For $49, £49 or $59 in Australia (converts to roughly AU$80), the Oculus Rift Earphones will let you replace the standard built-in headphones on your Oculus Rift virtual reality headset with purpose-built earbuds.
Normally, the Oculus Rift looks like this, with built-in adjustable on-ear headphones on either side. They slide up and down, left and right, on rails and also pivot to reach your ears.
Just take a screwdriver, a coin (a US dime works fine) or even your thumbnail and use it to unscrew this piece on the other side. Replace the old earpiece with the new one, then repeat on the other side, and you're done!
Did I mention there's a screwdriver that comes in the box? It's that black plastic rod at the bottom, hidden underneath the tray that held the earbuds to start.
