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.

No, but it will secure them. The headphones come with different size ear plugs to fit your ear.

Yes. The ear plugs go in and the cover protects the iPod. It works quite well.

i don't know. the plugs are all covered for snow/water/dirt proofing . it depends on the headphone connection but i would be a little careful. good luck

Wouldn't recommend it, the foam on the inner ear will definitely absorb the wet. It'll just get nasty after awhile. Though they do fit tightly enough where you wouldn't have to worry about them falling off or having to readjust them.

That's the plug so to speak. That protects ur headpiece plug in. It nice actually protects it from being dirty and dry if it is submerged.

It can but they have some extra hooks not shown in the photo that help prevent that from happening. If I remember right....the hooks wrap around your ear

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.

Yes perfectly. It has saved my phone proverbial Butt many times. Not water proof and it is hard to connect to a sound system if the cord is bigger than standard earbuds.

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.

Nope. They have an earpiece that goes behind your ear and this holds them in place.

These earplugs shouldn't be a problem for you. The foam the plugs are made from is very soft, and pliable; you can easily roll them, between your index finger and thumb, and squeeze them slightly, in order to shape them to fit into your ear canal. Once your insert them, they'll re-expand, and fill the canal. The pressure they'll exhibit should not be uncomfortable, even if your ear canal is smaller than most.

They come with a couple (maybe three) pair of in-ear sealing rubber plugs. Haven't had them leak yet! Much better than the waterproof Sony headphones which had an awkward fit and didn't maintain a good seal in the ear.

My guess is that they would work OK. The ear cushions and headband are covered with a plastic that seems to resist water.

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.

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.

No, not at all. I use it in and out of the water. The swim cap can actually cause the earphones to fit awkwardly requiring occasional adjustment. You will probably have a better fit without a cap. That's just my opinion.
