Are these waterproof or at the very least water resistant? I work in extreme weather conditions including heavy rain and I need to find something that will hold up. null

I’ve used my MDR-XB950BT (the old one) in light drizzles and it still works, so the new one probably is water resistant to a point.

I didn’t read anywhere where it said about water resistant, but didn’t read it totally. I use mine to DJ with where sweating is a given . They have gave me no trouble so far . I wouldn’t wear mine in the rain simply bc I love them so . If you look for a set that are made for working out /sports they will be water resistant. One Bluetooth speaker that is my most favorite is waterproof, excellent sound, & has a clip ...JBL Clip 2 . I take it in the shower, the river , cutting grass , beach ! Awesome speaker

No. That is not a feature for this one.

Hello Needsomeinfo, please do not expose the headset to water because of the headset isn't waterproof and it may cause the headset to malfunction. For more information, please check the link below:

Rest assured, I've used my XB950/N1 multiple times in heavy rain,-22°C. They are hella strong

No!

To the best of my knowledge, they seem to be very water resistant. I haven't worn them in extreme weather situations but if I were outside I would certainly use them in wet weather with just a thin hood on.

The controls for falling in boosting base are on the downside of each earpiece. This and the fact that the headset is so well made suggest to me that it is probably very weather resistant.
