A:AnswerThey're ipx4 certified--which means that they're "splash" resistant or water resistant. Which means, 1) that you can workout with them in (if you can get them to stay the whole time) and not have to worry about water droplets or moisture ruining them. 2) You can probably wear them when its raining and it won't ruin them (a hard rain or deluge is another story).. same thing applies water splashing on them. IPX means Ingress Protection. If you want a more concise and accurate description of ixp4 then google probably explains that very well.
No, though...they are NOT waterproof. So don't wear them for very long while you are in the shower. (In fact, don't wear them in the shower at all lol. But if you did briefly it probably wouldn't wreck them.) Please don't wear them swimming either.
Sorry that I can't recommend a pair that is ipx8 at this price point (you'd probably have to get an off-brand); that's pretty much as close to a "waterproof" certification as you can get. You can have them submersed in atleast three(3) feet of water; which means basically they can fall in the dish sink, toilet, a lake or body of water and be okay if you take them back out. You probably could shower with an ipx8 certified pair of headphones/earbuds. Haha.
A:AnswerYes I do listening to 10 Hour Raining with thunder or water flowing in a creek. Many different sounds on YouTube. Once during my sleep it did pop out but did not break.
A:AnswerThey are probably loud enough but if you’re going to use this product (or pretty much any in ear headphones without active noise canceling) I would highly recommend using over the ear ear protection to muffle the mower noise so you don’t need to turn the volume to a level that could damage your hearing.
A:AnswerThey last about 8 hours per charge and the case has 3 additional charges. And these do not offer noise cancellation, but for $20 these are sweet!
A:AnswerYou do touch/tap them to answer calls, fast forward, pause etc, but they are not overly touch sensitive. I had a pair that were so touch sensitive that every time i moved my hair away from my ear or adjusted the earbud it summoned Siri or stopped my music. These are not that way.
A:AnswerI don’t know, but while painting I had it fall out of my ear into a bucket of water. By the time I came down off the ladder and retrieved out of the water “THEY STILL WORKED”, to this day. So I don’t know about the rating but that’s rating enough for me? Thanks
A:AnswerI use them whlie going on my elliptical. They stay in good. You may need to experiment with the different plug sizes it comes with. It comes with three different sizes, I wen't with the largest size.
