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.

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

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.

The ear buds do keep most of the water out but they do leak a little due to shifts while you're exercising - that said: I'm prone to Swimmer's Ear and have had absolutely no problems since I started using the Pyle MP3.

I wear mine to work. Drilling, shaker machines it blocks the noise but I can still hear people talk to me, so it cuts the loud noise but still can hear normal sounds. Must protect your hearing as it will not come back. Also on this set of ear plugs, I acciently washed and dryed them, they are still good and didn't fall apart. I use the gold plugs or prongs that come with plugs seem to be better in blocking out harsh sounds.

Yes, it does. With earplugs also underneath you wouldn't hear a thing. But without earplugs it is still pretty good.

You need to find the perfect fit of buds to avoid getting water in your ears. I use the medium ones and I have no problem with water in my ears

Hi, I have used it with the earmuffs wrapped around the back of my head instead of over the top, however it is a bit tight & I find it better for me using ear plugs instead. BTW, Great face shield, the best I have ever used!

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...they are. They mold to the ear and keep the water out. I only need to use one divided in half to plug my ears.

It depends on the case I think. They screw in so that they work with the lifeproof cases (to be waterproof.) They should work with your phone without a case. But, if your case has something over the headphone jack, it may interrupt the connection. Sorry, I know this isn't an exact answer, but I don't know what kind of case you are using.

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.

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 would say yes. The Mack's silicon earplugs are the most comfy. We use the Ear Band-It to hold the silicon earplugs in and keep them watertight.

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.

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.

Technically No..The headsets wraps around your ears, but using a swim cap will give a secure fit.
