Airpods Pro Waterproof Guide: Are Airpods Pro Waterproof?

How Water-Resistant are AirPods Pro?

Is AirPods Pro Waterproof? Well, the short answer is no, they’re not entirely waterproof. But the AirPods Pro earphone is water-resistant, which means it can handle sweat and water spills, including rain. However, the AirPods Pro earbud is unlikely to survive if you submerge it underwater. So, how water-resistant are AirPods Pro?

According to Apple official, the AirPods Pro has a water resistance rating of IPX4. This means they won’t get damaged from sweat or splashes of water, but they will get damaged if they are completely submerged in water.

What does this IPX4 rating mean? The “IP” stands for Ingress Protection or the rating system. The first number after IP represents the device’s level of resistance to dust and other solid particles. The second number represents its resistance rating against liquids.

So, the AirPods Pro IPX4 rating means they are resistant to splashes of water coming from any direction. Their solid particle resistance rating of X simply means they did not undergo this specific test. They can resist sweat if you use them while exercising, but they should not be used for water sports. If you get caught in the rain, your AirPods Pro might survive while you make a run for it, but they will likely stop working if you drop them in a puddle.

Please take note that the AirPods Pro charging case is neither waterproof nor water-resistant, you need to take care when using it.
