About the water and sweat resistance of Beats wireless earphones

Learn about the water and sweat resistance of your Powerbeats, Powerbeats Pro, Beats Studio Buds, Beats Studio Buds +, and Beats Fit Pro, and what to do if your earbuds or case get wet.

Are my Beats wireless earphones waterproof?

Your Powerbeats, Powerbeats Pro, Beats Studio Buds, Beats Studio Buds +, and Beats Fit Pro earbuds are sweat and water resistant*, but not sweatproof or waterproof. If the earbuds of your Beats wireless earphones come into contact with liquid, including sweat from a workout, wipe them down with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth.

The Powerbeats Pro, Beats Studio Buds, Beats Studio Buds +, and Beats Fit Pro charging cases are not waterproof, sweatproof, sweat resistant, or water resistant, so be careful not to get moisture in any openings. Before you place your Powerbeats Pro, Beats Studio Buds, Beats Studio Buds +, or Beats Fit Pro earbuds in the charging case, make sure that your earbuds and charging case are clean, dry, and free of dust.

Sweat and water resistance are not permanent conditions. Resistance might decrease as a result of normal wear.

Here's how to prevent damage to your Beats wireless earphones due to contact with liquid:
