Question 1

Accepted Answer

If you want professional waterproof wireless earbuds, it is best to buy them through a specialized headphone provider. soundcore offers various waterproof Bluetooth headphone models with an IPX7 rating and different features for all budget levels. Check out soundcore Headphones to learn more. Except for soundcore&rsquo;s official website, online shops like Amazon, Costco, Best Buy, Walmart or Fred Meyer, etc all offer great options for buying soundcore waterproof headphones.

Question 2

How do waterproof headphones work?

Accepted Answer

Waterproof headphones are designed to be used in environments where there is water present. This means that they are able to withstand sweat, rain, and even being submerged in water. Most waterproof headphones use a combination of rubber and plastic to create a seal around the earbuds or earphones. This seal prevents water from getting into the headphone's internals and damaging the electronics. Waterproof is related to IPX rating, the higher IPX rating, the more waterproof it is. Look no further than soundcore waterproof headphones. With an IPX7 rating, these headphones can handle any outdoor activity you throw their way.

Question 3

Can I shower with waterproof headphones?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you can shower with waterproof headphones. soundcore provides a variety of waterproof headphones with water resistance rating up to IPX7, meaning they can withstand being submerged in up to one meter of water for 30 minutes. Usually, waterproof headphones are given an IPX rating to indicate how well they fight against water ingress. So the higher the waterproof rating a headphone has, the more water-resistant it will be. With soundcore IPX7 waterproof earbuds, you are able to use them in the shower without issue. But we still suggest that you&rsquo;d better not wear your headphones during the shower, for some chemicals in bath products may reduce the life of your headphones.

Question 4

Can I wear headphones in water?

Accepted Answer

In most cases, no, you should not wear headphones in water. Standard over-ear models, like most consumer headphones, are not waterproof and can be permanently damaged by moisture. Even earbuds with high water resistance, such as soundcore Sport X20 with an IP68 rating, are not suitable for swimming, because Bluetooth signals cannot travel through water, and prolonged submersion may still affect performance over time.

Question 5

What headphones can you wear swimming?

Accepted Answer

To swim with headphones, you need specialised waterproof models that support internal music storage, such as MP3 playback, rather than relying on Bluetooth. These are often bone conduction headphones or IPX8-rated earbuds designed specifically for swimming. While Sport X20 has excellent water and dust protection (IP68), it is not designed for underwater audio use, and Bluetooth connectivity won&rsquo;t work when submerged.

Question 6

Are there any fully waterproof headphones?

Accepted Answer

Yes, there are headphones with IPX7 or IPX8 waterproof ratings, but &ldquo;fully waterproof&rdquo; doesn&rsquo;t mean they&rsquo;re suitable for all water activities. Even soundcore Sport X20, which is rated IP68, is designed for sweat, rain, and rinsing, but not for use while swimming or being submerged for long periods.

Question 7

Can earbuds be submerged in water?

Accepted Answer

Only earbuds with a verified IPX7 or IPX8 rating can technically withstand submersion, but that doesn&rsquo;t mean they&rsquo;re safe to use in water like a pool or bath. Sport X20 may survive accidental drops into water or heavy rain, but it is not intended for prolonged underwater use. And since Bluetooth doesn&rsquo;t work underwater, you&rsquo;d lose the signal even if they survived the splash.

Question 8

Can headphones get wet in the rain?

Accepted Answer

Some headphones can handle light rain, especially sport or workout models with an IPX4 rating or higher. soundcore Sport X20, with its IP68 rating, is ideal for running in the rain, intense sweat, or muddy workouts. However, over-ear headphones like soundcore Space One or Q20i are not water-resistant and should be kept dry to avoid damage. Always check the IP rating before exposing headphones to wet conditions.
