Will it protect the ear from getting water in them without plugs?

The band is meant to be worn with Doc's Proplugs (also sold on Amazon). The band holds in the plugs so that the ears are sealed, without damaging them the way regular ear plugs will.

No they will not. Their primary purpose is to keep the ear plugs in the ears so they do not fall out. They do not create a air tight seal around the ear.

I completely agree with the previous three answers. Because I expected a complete seal, I returned the band for a refund.

Yes. The ear plugs go in and the cover protects the iPod. It works quite well.

Yes, I can understand totally of not using earplugs. It has speakers. I am so grateful because I have been always using plugs with my older iPod.

i have not experienced this problem. i use the latex attachments that came with the headphones provided and do not have any water in my ears.

Hi Juan,Wearing the headphones alone, they are secure. For swimming they are in the silicone case and so don't really hook over the ears then. You can sort of put them in place, but that wouldn't be enough to hold them there. The swimcap holds everything secure with the headphones just protruding down a little [see swimming image]. Hope that makes things clear.

Yes, vigorous lap-swimming and flip-turns are not a problem. You do need to use these with the "Medical Grade Doc's Pro Ear Plugs" (also available on Amazon) to keep water out of your ears without causing swimmer's ear and other medical problems associated with regular ear plugs.

Nope. They have an earpiece that goes behind your ear and this holds them in place.

No they will not. As another reviewer commented, they are great for protecting your hearing. Their main selling point is that you are supposed to be able to still hear everything as if you had no earplugs in. So no, they don't block snoring.

Yes .. there is a piece that is sealed and screws out when you want to add headphones.... Obviously it is not waterproof when the piece is out...

I wear mine to work. Drilling, shaker machines it blocks the noise but I can still hear people talk to me, so it cuts the loud noise but still can hear normal sounds. Must protect your hearing as it will not come back. Also on this set of ear plugs, I acciently washed and dryed them, they are still good and didn't fall apart. I use the gold plugs or prongs that come with plugs seem to be better in blocking out harsh sounds.

I've only used it in a pool. I think it would stay on but I'm not sure the ear phones would stay in.

I wear ear plugs with the face shield. Ear muffs might be tough. You might be able to do it if they were the type that you could turn the head band down on, say to the back of the head, if they the band wasn't tight.

I don't believe this would serve you as well as earplugs, for the most part they do keep water out, they are water-proof, but not completely watertight!

yes they should. they do not block sound, they reduce it to safe levels. It should,because it work as good as any regular ear muffs.

It does cover your ear completely, but some sound escapes. It's built that way.

Absolutely! These earplugs not only protect your hearing, they enhance music as well. Give them a try. You won't be disappointed.

Interesting question! I can't say for sure. I can't speak for the ear plugs but I would think that together they should block or drown out the sound of a loud dog. The headphones themselves reduce the sound of lawn equipment to a low muffled rumble.
