How do waterproof headphones work?

Thu Aug 25 09:33:06 CST 2022

Waterproof headphones are typically sealed and covered with a hydrophobic coating that both repels water and prevents water from seeping in from the outside and coming into contact with the electronics inside. As we know, water and electricity don't mix, so these are the two key elements of any waterproof technology and what fundamentally sets them apart from regular wireless headphones.
While waterproofness is key, waterproofing requirements may vary slightly depending on what you want to use the headset for.
The best waterproof headphones for swimming should be completely watertight and can be submerged underwater. The best waterproof headphones for showering (and other activities that may not involve full immersion in water) should be at least waterproof.
