do the ear buds keep water out of your ears?

I am so disappointed with this product. The ear buds do not stay in at all and it was impossible to retrieve any of my music.

The earbuds are fantastic! The player works fairly good as well, the software is very simple. That being said when putting music on it out all individual music files into one or no folder on player. The player works great for about two hours of swimming before the jack gets water in it and you lose sound out of one ear BUT let it dry overnight unplugged and its is fine and ready to go for the next swim.

I don't believe this would serve you as well as earplugs, for the most part they do keep water out, they are water-proof, but not completely watertight!

Yes, they prevented any water from seeping into my ears, they have little ear buds that are like little suction cups, that prevent water from getting into your ear. One side of the headphones just stopped working, but I was using them as my reg headphones because they are so comfy!

I use this everyday as I swim a mile. For the most part the ear buds keep out the water. Once and a while I have to shake out the water from my ear buds or in my ear canal. But for the price it works good. I've had this about 10 months and so far so good.

They're sweat proof enough in that I've never had a problem with mine due to them getting wet at the gym... I don't use the little foam covers for the ear buds though.

It does not but these are amazing. They NEVER fall out of my ears, no matter what kind of exercise and I have weird ears.

Off hand I would say no. The ear cups are cloth and the head band is also. They will soak up sweat and get crusty. Personally I would stick with ear buds.

Hi Raine, Since this headset has the 'loop' connecting them, there's a little inward tension. I've sometimes had that problem with earbuds, but they have been just 'buds'--separate from each other. These never fell out of my ears.

Swim caps aren't generally used to keep water out of the ears. They are more of keeping your hair out of your face while your swimming. I would not recommend this as something to keep water out of your son's ears.

Yes, I think there are 2 different sizes of in ear buds. I also always wear a swim cap for 2 reasons: covers the ear buds so they won't fall out, and it really easy to clip the MP3 player to it, if I want to take my goggles off. It's a great product, and I highly recommend it!

No, they are what is called "noise isolating" which means they are similar to wearing ear plugs. So when the music's playing that's all you hear and if you wear them while not listening to music, outside sounds will be slightly to moderately muffled, depending on how well they fit into one's ear canal. PS: ear canal to bud fit is key to achieve proper bass and overall performance from these type of earbuds.

No. Buds are a good fit, sound OK, but the "bendy" wrap over/around ear part just plain does not work.

The buds insert snugly into the ear canal and combined with their lightweight stay in place relatively well. I have used these when working out (not running) and when working in the yard.

Not sure if they have ear buds, it has been awhile since I bought them. But, mine do not slip out.

nope. and there's no sliding piece to hold the buds together, so these tangle pretty badly. the earbuds are shaped so that they don't slide in and out of loops well. I've had the worst earbuds tangles with these. but the sound quality is amazing and these will rarely if ever fall out of your ear during very vigorous exercise.

no there is not a hole for the ear buds. what i did though was flip my phone upside down and used the pouch when i went for a run. not the safest for your phone though if it does rain.

no, they don't leak sound at all. Just make sure you put the right sized pads over the ear buds. They come with 4 sizes, so you have to choose the one which fits snugly in your ear.

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.

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.

Yes they definitely do. The sit quite still in your ears due to the fact the band loops over your ears. And there is a small clip on the wire to attach to a shirt so everything stays in place
