Exploring the Abyss - Waterproof Capabilities of Beats Pro Earbuds Revealed
The Beats Pro Earbuds, including the Beats Studio Pro and Beats Fit Pro, are designed to handle sweat and light rain, thanks to their IPX4 rating. However, it's essential to understand that this rating does not make them suitable for swimming or surfing.
Beats Studio Pro earbuds, for instance, do not have an official waterproof rating and can only resist water to a limited degree. This means they cannot handle submersion in water at all. On the other hand, Beats Fit Pro, with their IPX4 rating, can resist water splashes from any direction but do not provide protection against full immersion required for swimming or surfing.
When it comes to waterproof devices suitable for swimming, you'll typically find ones with at least an IPX7 or IPX8 rating, indicating protection against immersion in water for a certain period.
Given this, the Beats Pro earbuds are only safe against sweat and minor water exposure but are insufficiently protected for activities involving complete water submersion like swimming or surfing.
If you're in need of earbuds for water sports, it's best to opt for ones specifically rated waterproof (IPX7 or higher). Some alternatives include Jabra Elite Sport (IP67), Sony WF-SP800N (IPX4), and Jaybird Vista 2 (IPX7).
It's also not recommended to wear the Beats Pro Earbuds in the shower, and they are not suitable for swimming either. To clean them, gently wipe them down with a soft, dry cloth, or use a cotton swab or a small, soft-bristled brush for more thorough cleaning.
While the Beats Pro Earbuds can be worn in the rain, it's important to be cautious and avoid submerging them in water. If they do get wet, turn them off, remove detachable parts, gently pat them dry, place them in a dry, well-ventilated area, and allow them to air dry for at least 24 to 48 hours before using them again.
Lastly, it's worth noting that the charging case of the Beats Pro Earbuds is not water resistant. So, if you're looking for earbuds that can withstand extreme water exposure, the Beats Pro Earbuds may not be the best choice.
The sound quality in Beats Pro Earbuds, such as the Beats Studio Pro and Beats Fit Pro, is excellent, thanks to their superior technology. However, these gadgets are not waterproof and should not be used for activities that involve full water immersion, like swimming or surfing.
