Hi Johannes, To use your Walkman while swimming, note the following and fit your Walkman into your ears correctly: Choose the size of earbuds that feel quite snug and Fit your Walkman into your ears firmly. - Ella

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

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 hair around the ear is relatively hard to wash. But I think it's not a big deal. Completely water-proof was what I'm looking for.

I would have to say yes....my mom tried the bandit without ear plugs and she still got water in her ears.....I find ear plugs uncomfortable too but the silicon ones seem to be pretty good with the bandit

The in ear design works perfectly for it. It is liked wearing ear-plugs. Another example is like, you are in the car with windows rolled up and the mowers noise becomes low sounding humps...you will love it. keep the plug clean with peroxide ($1 bottle) at Rx stores.

The rubber tip keeps it snug in your ear. There is also a plastic hoop that can be attached which will help keep it in.

It actually works best for underwater swimming. When ears are out of the water, you can hardly hear the music. You hear it loud and clear when underwater. Warning, though, I would not buy this again because of other issues.

I think the headphones is no sweat proof.But I don't think you can get it wet while you exercise.And it fix well, so it suit you.

Mine works great! I just trim ears with it. They are small. So it might be too much.

I have not swam with them in. However I did wear them in the shower to test the water resistance. Not a single drop of water got past the ear plugs. I think swimming with them in should block the water, just make sure the ear plugs seal properly. Hope this was helpful!

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.

Haven't tried the mp3 aspect of it, but as far as the radio goes, the radio frequency gets interrupted by the water. If you go more than 1-2 feet below the water surface, the radio picks up a ton of static; any lower and you'll just get pure static. Also, a lot of times the ear buds aren't the best suited for blocking out water (yes, I know it's what they're supposed to do), and if there is any water leakage from the pressure of diving underwater, then your sound will be diminished significantly (as in, the sound coming through the ear buds will be muffled due to the water). Gets pretty annoying when only one ear bud leaks though since the sounds is clear on one ear, and muffled on the other lol.

It works fine, it's just to tight on the ear, can't wear it to long really hurts. Hope that helps.

It claims to be sweat resistant. There is a small door on one ear piece which covers up the micro hdmi charging port. I think you'd have to immerse the headset in water to short it out.

It's definitely good for not getting wet, and also great with a headset. If you would like to talk on it like a normal phone, no one can hear you.

Yes the earplugs will keep the water out of your ears if placed in ears correctly. The sound quality is great also!

Good question!I've never had any problems with sweat causing any malfunction.I live in the tropics of Australia, hence I'm sweaty most of the time.So I would say the headphone is water proof.Hugh
