I sprayed the upper side leather with Sofsole Water Proofer to make them waterproof, too. I wasnt expecting too much from this product just because of how cheap it was but I was pleasantly surprised at its sound quality as well as the noise cancellation quality. Love these little pink pointed q tips. Wont offer much in the form of waterproof protection, but cool case that will protect from bumps and short falls. Worth for the price. My daughter lost her expensive pair of earbuds, frustrated I bought her a less expensive pair. Very good ease of use for Apple users, and is in-style these days (shows social status). For my ears they are super comfortable and have great bass. I will update my review in a couple of months (after the wedding) to review how they hold up and how comfortable they are after wearing them all day With the price, I feel I got a steal of a deal.
