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.

These earphones COVER the ears--so, yes, they protect your ear from damage. By the way, I love these earphones because they are comfortable and work so well.

I don't think any ear muffs will block All of the noise. But you do need to be aware of your surroundings, so some hearing is helpful. You can also wear ear plugs under them to block more sound.

It does not come with the earplugs but has the plug in jack on the top; I'm not sure what that is for, but I think it's for a handsfree headset. It is also BlueTooth capable.

These are safer to use with tubes in your ears than foam or any other in-ear plugs. These form a seal on the outside of the ear canal's opening rather than entering into the ear.

My wife wears these, so I checked for you. They don't allow water into the ear.

This will help reduce the sound further especially if you plan to use it in conjunction with earplugs. I use custom molded earplugs plus these muffs. It reduces the amount of sound significantly. I used to only wear the plugs but now I use both. Protect your hearing with these (and plugs)....you'll appreciate it in the long run.

There is a hole on the bottom on each side that could be used for earplugs, and also the space at the top on each side as well. However, I just plug my earphones in the top of my phone and then close the top flap over the phone, leaving the earphone plug sticking out to one side, and it works very well while I'm walking or working.

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.

Interesting question! I can't say for sure. I can't speak for the ear plugs but I would think that together they should block or drown out the sound of a loud dog. The headphones themselves reduce the sound of lawn equipment to a low muffled rumble.

Not really. It would shield it from direct raindrops but the speaker and microphone are still open. The hands free jack and charging jack have rubber flaps, but are not sealed.

No. You would have to open a flap to plug in headphone and water would get in that way.

No, the Flents Quiet Please Foam Ear plugs will not block out all the noise but they will do a better job and any other ear plug on the market that I know about. They will give reduce the noise significantly so you can tune it out. The only thing better would be a headset noise reducer over both ears- that would do the job

Possibly, but I've only worn them while enjoying live (loud) music, and it doesn't muffle out the music, it just brings the sound level down a few decibles - enough to enjoy the music without damaging your hearing. I usually use Flents Quiet Please Foam Ear Plugs when I want drown out loud noises.

Hi Juan,Wearing the headphones alone, they are secure. For swimming they are in the silicone case and so don't really hook over the ears then. You can sort of put them in place, but that wouldn't be enough to hold them there. The swimcap holds everything secure with the headphones just protruding down a little [see swimming image]. Hope that makes things clear.

Honestly the amount of force required to push these far enough in to do any damage...the ear plug would be the least of your worries. I mean, sure, if someone hit you in the ear full bore with a baseball bat, it might lodge partway into your outer ear canal...but at that point I don't think you'd care.

i have not experienced this problem. i use the latex attachments that came with the headphones provided and do not have any water in my ears.
