Serious athletes need audio gear that works as hard as they do. Our IPX7 waterproof running headphones deliver reliable performance through sweat, rain, and 30+ hours of continuous use. Designed for brands targeting runners, gym lovers, and outdoor enthusiasts — backed by a 18,000m² factory in Dongguan, China.
When we say "waterproof," we mean it. Our sports earbuds are certified IPX7 by SGS — they survive full immersion in 1 meter of water for up to 30 minutes. That means heavy rain, accidental pool drops, sweat-soaked workouts, and even swimming pool laps won't kill them.
Many "waterproof" earbuds on the market are only IPX4 or IPX5 — they handle splashes but fail when fully submerged. Our IPX7 earbuds use three technologies in combination:
| Protection Layer | How It Works | What It Stops |
|---|---|---|
| Nano-Coated PCB | Invisible hydrophobic spray on all electronic components | Sweat vapor, humidity, condensation |
| Mechanical Seals | Rubber O-rings + waterproof glue at all openings (port, speaker, microphone) | Direct water contact, rain spray, immersion |
| Gore-Tex Speaker Membrane | Breathable but water-repellent speaker grille | Water from entering while letting sound escape |
Not all sports use cases require IPX7. Here's a quick guide:
IPX4 — Splashproof (our entry-level model)
Handles sweat and light rain. Suitable for gym use and moderate workouts. Not recommended for outdoor running in heavy rain.
IPX7 — Waterproof (our flagship model)
Survives full submersion up to 1m for 30 minutes. Heavy rain, pool drops, water sports. Our recommended level for serious runners and outdoor athletes.
IPX8 — Fully Submersible (custom order)
Rated for deeper/longer submersion (3m / 1hr). For competitive swimmers and water sports enthusiasts. Available on special OEM request — typically 2-week lead time.
Earbuds deliver 6-8 hours per charge depending on volume level. The charging case adds 22-24 hours — that's a full week of running without charging. Fast charge: 10 minutes in the case = 2 hours of playback.
We tested three ear tip designs with runners: round silicone, flange silicone, and ergonomic ear hooks. The winners were clear — our ergonomic ear hooks lock in during burpees, sprints, and long-distance runs. Zero drop rate in our 100-user field test.
For runners who need to hear traffic while training, our open-ear bone conduction sports headphones are the ideal choice. They stay secure, let ambient sound through, and connect via Bluetooth 5.3 for zero-latency music.
No dropouts. No reconnection prompts. Bluetooth 5.3 with AptX HD delivers stable connection up to 10 meters indoors and 15 meters outdoors — enough for most workout scenarios including outdoor cycling.
Salt in sweat and minerals in pool water corrode standard electronics. Our internal components are coated with nano-hydrophobic spray that resists sweat corrosion — extending earbud lifespan by 3-5x compared to unprotected models.
