A:AnswerHi there! The QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds are water-resistant, but not waterproof. They have an IPX4 rating, which means they can handle sweat and light splashes, making them suitable for workouts and daily use. However, they should not be submerged in water or exposed to heavy moisture.

A:AnswerYes, the QuietComfort Earbuds are great for the gym. They’re designed to stay secure and comfortable during movement, and they’re sweat and water-resistant (IPX4 rating), making them suitable for workouts.
A:AnswerNo, you don’t need an iPhone to use the QuietComfort Earbuds. They work with any Bluetooth-enabled device, including Android phones, tablets, and computers. Just pair them via Bluetooth, and you’re good to go!
A:AnswerFor your requirements, I suggest trying the Bose Ultra with different ear bands; small supportive wires to wrap the exterior ear. Or maybe different brands. Google Pixel Buds are smaller in size and might fit your ear cup better.
