HI All,

I'm looking for a water or sweat proof pair of bluetooth headsets. I know there is a difference and I've looked for a good pair of IPX8 pair.
I sweat an insane amount when I workout. I can easily lose a couple of pounds. I've tried different models and brands. They usually are fine for the first 5-9 months and suddenly die. Most manufacturers to their credit do the right thing and replace 2-3 pairs but then get difficult plus it is annoying and a hassle to go through.

Any recommendations would be appreciated. I've not tried AirPods because frankly they are too expensive and not rated for that amount of wetness. Mostly I've tried Taotronics and Tozo variants from Amazon. For jogging I would prefer a pair of bluetooth headphones connected with a cord. Like the new beats flex (again not rated).

I can't be the only one that sweats profusely during workouts so any ideas would be appreciated.

I don't have these, but am considering them. Great price on them right now.


I have 2 other models from RHA, both corded versions very similar to the Beat Flex and they are fantastic. If you can find them, the RHA MA 650 Wireless model is a fantastic option. I believe they've been discontinued but you might be able to find them.
