Electronics shops in Rome?
 
Here I am and one of the ear plugs for my Sony EX51, which I'm using with my iPod, falls off and is lost.

I need it for the plane ride back this Friday morning.

I've been looking for electronics shops most of today and the only thing I've found has Koss the Plug for 20 euros. That didn't even get such great reviews and Amazon is under $10.

Guess I'm looking in the wrong part of town. Is there anything like FNAC? Or are there department stores in Rome?

Do I have a better chance in FCO or maybe during my layover at JFK? Guess airport prices aren't better but selection may be.

There is a store called `EURONICS´ near Piazza Bologna, maybe in Via Catania, I´m not quite sure. But it´s big enough people on the street there would know where to find it. Nothing fancy, but certainly good enough for headphones. Good luck!

Found a bunch of hi-fi shops, not specializing in iPods but still AV stuff, near Piazza Vittorio Emmauelle II.

Only one had something I really wanted, which was the Sony EX-51. He had one and it was on his window for 40 euros, about $20 more than at Amazon.

Figuring there wasn't that great a demand, I tried to haggle to 30 euros. He seemed offended. The place was very small with a lot of second-hand hi-fi stuff so you would think it was a more informal kind of store. Oh well, guess I'll have to rough it on the flight.

There's also an Apple store on Giovianni Lanza nearby. They had the way overpriced Apple in-ear phones and a pair of Etymotics for 150 euro.
