Your Otium earbuds are rated IPX7 waterproof, meaning they are protected against the effects of temporary immersion in water (up to 1 meter for 30 minutes). This makes them ideal for workouts, running in the rain, and protection against sweat and splashes.

  • The IPX7 rating ensures 100% protection from ordinary splashing water and rain.
  • Avoid prolonged immersion or use during swimming or other water sports.
