I ordered the snap to pin converters after reading through this thread but what I am worried about is it looks like the converters are either only male or only female snap connections while the snap connector I have is one male and one female.

Also where can you get the elastic headbands? I have tried the ace bandage and it will due but I believe the elastic headbands would be easier. I tried emailing the generic email on the Soterix site but I did not get any response.
Good luck with the connectors...I hope they work out for you. I guess if they don't come in one male/one female connections then you will have to get two sets (one of each)...but hopefully you can find what you are looking for.

I don't use the elastic headband. I use the self sticking (sticks to itself but not to skin or hair) first aid tape instead. I have two bands that I just tied so they are the right size for my head and just reuse those until they fall apart and then cut a couple new lengths and start again. They last me a good couple months of daily use though before they get too messed up to be worth taking the time to fix. The tape is pretty cheap so it really isn't a big deal to make new ones. Might be worth a try.

I'm not sure where else you would order the elastic headbands from but there have to be other options online. Good luck!
