Will it protect the ear from getting water in them without plugs?

The band is meant to be worn with Doc's Proplugs (also sold on Amazon). The band holds in the plugs so that the ears are sealed, without damaging them the way regular ear plugs will.

No they will not. Their primary purpose is to keep the ear plugs in the ears so they do not fall out. They do not create a air tight seal around the ear.

I completely agree with the previous three answers. Because I expected a complete seal, I returned the band for a refund.

It keeps water out of their ears too. It has a pretty good seal to keep the water out. It is a little bit flimsy but it does the job.

The outer ear covers would be, but the inner part has foam in it that might absorb sweat. You should also be aware that the high end is not the best on these headphones. I was able to compensate with my phone by boosting the high frequencies, so I'm satisfied.

no you cannot plug in earplugs, its better in your cap I duct tape the side handles closed after I insert one hair elastic on each side, I make a bun of my hair, then wrap the hair elastics around bun this keeps it on my head which is ideal as earpcs wires are fragile and short, if you swim and the ear pc wires are stressed a lot you will lose sound quickly ruining the gadget. but using this method mine last two years I swim 12 hrs a week

Yes, vigorous lap-swimming and flip-turns are not a problem. You do need to use these with the "Medical Grade Doc's Pro Ear Plugs" (also available on Amazon) to keep water out of your ears without causing swimmer's ear and other medical problems associated with regular ear plugs.

Yes, I can understand totally of not using earplugs. It has speakers. I am so grateful because I have been always using plugs with my older iPod.

They will block out the majority of noise, but not all. But I don't know of any ear plugs that will block out 100% of the noise.

Yes perfectly. It has saved my phone proverbial Butt many times. Not water proof and it is hard to connect to a sound system if the cord is bigger than standard earbuds.

i don't know. the plugs are all covered for snow/water/dirt proofing . it depends on the headphone connection but i would be a little careful. good luck

Sure. These are essentially earplugs with built-in headphones. If you don't listen to anything, they still block noise effectively.

yes, but once you open the plug for the earphones it ain't waterproof anymore.

That's the plug so to speak. That protects ur headpiece plug in. It nice actually protects it from being dirty and dry if it is submerged.

These earplugs shouldn't be a problem for you. The foam the plugs are made from is very soft, and pliable; you can easily roll them, between your index finger and thumb, and squeeze them slightly, in order to shape them to fit into your ear canal. Once your insert them, they'll re-expand, and fill the canal. The pressure they'll exhibit should not be uncomfortable, even if your ear canal is smaller than most.

My 2 yr old wears the ear band and it does seem to stay in place while swimming. We use it with wax earplugs for extra protection.

these are headphones, designed to allow you to hear the device that they are plugged into, not noise blocking. I think that this and ear plugs would be acting against each other.

The earplugs themselves are pretty small so you would not need to cut them to get them securely in.

Not exactly, water will get in behind the earbud, but the buds do a fairly good job of evacuating the water. By no means will they keep water completely out of your ears though.
