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.

There are are two screws - one in the case and a second attached to headphone adaptor, the adaptor allows you to plug your own earbuds in (unless they are really really skinny then they might fit- but will not be waterproof).

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

NO the protective rain cover does not have a hole for you to plug your headphones in. Understandable design choice, all things considered, but I ended up making a hole in the cover myself so that I could use headphones while it was on. It was more difficult than I expected, despite it being a flexible, rubbery case, it's quite rugged, even when prodded with a very sharp knife.

I would say they are average at reducing outside noise. They do cover your ears, the seal would depend on the size/shape of your ears.

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.

You cannot use your own because the earbuds are a part of the closed system that prevents water from getting in. The earbud cords are not really long enough to attach to something further than the area right around your head. But they are meant to attach to the goggles, not the swim cap.

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

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.

No, the earplugs are integrated and they are designed to secure to your goggles, not suit. I position mine in the back & it doesn't bother me at all!

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.

If you mean empty space, yes. The protection goes around your ears so you can fit things like a Bluetooth headset or ear buds and things of that nature, without it being squished against your face. This is true of both sides/ears.

I think it'll depend on what you're doing, and also how your ears are shaped. The plug in my right ear is air tight (no water gets in) and stays that way, even when I use this for wake sports and take high speed falls. I might need to play with the sizes more on my left ear, though. Make sure to try the different rubber tips, but you might be lucky and get a good air tight seal.

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 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.

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.

It depends what kind of hearing protection you want. If your using foam plugs or even foam plugs with string or small plastic headband I would say yes. If your using a full size headset style hearing protection even though I have never tried I would say no.
