Yes, they are waterproof for swimming. Not sure about the waterproofcase with the I5

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 know they work on my 5 Lifeproof case which means they should be fine for the 5S as well. My daughter has the 4S Lifeproof case and the design of the cable is slightly different where it attaches to the phone. I haven't actually tried it yet but suspect by just looking the fit would be off.

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.

Yes, there is a jack that keeps the case sealed from water. You'll need waterproof headphones though :)

I have no idea. I have never used these or any other headphones/earbuds in water.

No waterproof headphones are included in this listing. Our new Swimbuds Sport headphones are the best headphones in the market for lap swimming and running in the rain. Since every person's ear is different, Swimbuds Sport has 4 different styles of earbuds to find the best fit to seal out water. Original Swimbuds also work great for lap swimming and create a watertight seal in your ear to keep out water even when submersed, but only have one style of earbud. HydroHarmony headphones are good for water sports like surfing or water aerobics, but do not create a watertight seal in your ear. Scott

I can't give a 100% definitive answer on this as I have never had a Lifeproof case, but it works with my Ballistic case for iPhone 4s and the Ballistic case is very similar to an Otterbox which I had before and this would have worked with that also. Both cases I have had a hard time finding aux cords that work but this one does!

I haven't personally tried them with this case, but it's not thick or bulky. I looked them up on google, and it doesn't look like there would be an issue, but I can't say for sure. I use the regular straight plug earphones. I can send you a picture of it up close or something to your e-mail if you'd like? Just let me know. Sorry I couldn't answer your question better. =-\

yes....these work fine with iPhone 5. However I didn't like these headphones (just didn't fit right for me) and returned them immediately.

no - go check out x-1 waterproof headphones - much cheaper and waterproof ( I swim a lot with them)

They are made of silicone so they are waterproof but not sure if it will stay on while swimming or not. It's worth trying.

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 you can use the ear pods. When you buy the lifeproof case it comes with an extention cord. You will have to unscrew the water resisdant screw and put in extention cord first.

Lifeproof is a decent case, but since I had that on my iPhone 4, and now with the iPhone 5 I have Casemate, the difference is day and night.Life proof is well, ...almost sound proof as well, I found that out just as clearly as you did. Vents at the mic end of the case ensure every conversation is clear. You'll be happy with the thin but protective case too. I love mine!!

It depends on what kind of waterproof bag you have. The earphone itself is waterproof.

yes, they are made for underwater swimming. However, any earphones that I have tried for underwater swimming don't seem to work very well. Water gets inside and messes up the sound. These particular earphones worked great the first couple of times - and then the sound went bad. I think it may have to do with how well they fit into your ears - so they can keep the water out.
