do the earphones keep water out of your years?

no.wear them most of time with hooded wetsuit kitesurfing/windsurfing water still gets in not much but it does.

They will if they are fitted properly. The kit comes with 3 or 4 sizes of earphones. with a little Vaseline you get a tight seal!

I assume you meant ears. They do keep the water out. I found that if you rub a tiny amount of vaseline inside your ear it helps seal them. You sometimes do get a leak but not very often and easy to fix. Just stop and reinsert. Great product

I feel like it does a bit, it certainly helps. But not 100% if you lose a bud from the ear. Good luck.

The earphones come with 3 different sized tips to keep water out, and if they leak too badly, water will get inside and keep the sound from coming out properly. I just put the next size bigger onto mine because they leaked a little in one ear, and so far so good - it's keeping the water OUT.

yes. and they come with cheapie ear pods. I never use earphones of any kind! I'd rather keep my hearing than lose it.

I haven't had a problem with the water seeping in. I use the earphones that came with it and just make sure they are in tight. Maybe you need to use a bigger size on the end. Push them in until you feel them more or less seal your ear.

I've only used it in a pool. I think it would stay on but I'm not sure the ear phones would stay in.

These are for hearing protection, do you plan on swimming somewhere with loud noises?

No, they aren't long enough to attach to your suit, and you can't use your own earphones. You can, however, get an ipod Shuffle waterproofed. Just google it. Then you don't need a device and you can use your own earplugs.

This earphone is resistant to water. Like sweat, raindrops. Not to dive in the water.

I doubt they are water resistant. Have worn them at the gym and didn't notice any issues. The transducers are a rubber like substance and should be pretty impervious. I'd imagine the inline switch would be a weak point. I mostly use them at the office and at job sites to keep my ears free (or with ear plugs) and still hear podcasts, music or telephone conversations.At the gym I've a pair of earbuds, JayBird BBX1MB BlueBuds X Sport Bluetooth Headphones - Black (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

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.

Thank you for the question Cindy, and thank you for your interest in our top-performing 100 percent waterproof iPod Shuffle. The fully waterproofed headphones that we include free of charge in this special offer are high-quality waterproof headphones that deliver quality sound under water; they have been upgraded from our earlier waterproof headphones based on customer feedback and our own testing of different waterproof headphones. Our customers report excellent results with the headphones. The ear bud elements are made of sturdy rubber to ensure a sealed fitting in the ear canal and prevent water entry, which can distort the sound quality. Because of their high-performance design, they are sure to stay in the ear canal even during very rigorous swimming. They come with standard size ear bud fittings, which our customers report are comfortable and fit almost everyone's ears just fine. It is extremely rare that we hear back from customers with headphone issues. Thanks again for your question, and we hope to have you as one of our many happy customers...and happy swimming!

I've gone through quite a few of these wireless mp3 player headphones, and the only truly waterproof are the "JLab Go" or "Pyle" mp3 players. Search Amazon the Pyles are only $40 but be careful they are fragile.

I use the headphones for the gym mostly so I wouldn't be able to tell, however, i I have swam with them and no problems

I don't think I have recently swam without a cap due to chlorine. I do feel that the cap does keep the headphones in snug tiight and feel the few laps I swam without, they fade in and out.

They are like the regular ear phones that come with an i pod shuffle or an i pod. The only difference is that they are waterproof.

I would imagine that the earphones would get clammy and uncomfortable, and I would be concerned about moisture getting inside the electronics - I don't think they are waterproof.

yes but I wouldn't bother, you'll only waste your money as they leak & will ruin your @nd Gen shuffle as mine did. Just go to the audioflood website & order a waterproof one from there, that's what I had to do & now I swim without a problem. Hope this helps
