Definitely water resistant
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Well, I almost never write a review when something works like it advertises but; these just survived a trip thru the washing machine and work like day 1. Just a little spot drying and all good. Though if you're smaller of stature these may be too big for your ear lobes to stay in.

Posted .Hi ScottC,
That's quite a feat! While the WF-1000XM5s are water resistant, they're not waterproof. In the future, it's important to be cautious when handling your earbuds near water sources. We do have good information on how to care for the headphones here:
