Water will bead up. I bought them to wear over winter. We love crocs. That requires a lot more power. However, build quality looks good, & it serves the purpose, so decided to keep it, in the hope that the issues might not get worse. My old Sennheiser HD270, which was well-sized, finally reached end of life, while my wifes Sennheiser HD 280Pro dont feel very comfortable. I also use this mic to sing and I get great recordings pairing this with NVIDIA RTX Voice to remove all the noise. I rocked that beer bong every 15 minutes for three hours, and four more times in the morning. Cumplió mis expectativas, práctica, amplia, resistente, buenos acabados y calidad, me encantó Very convenient for daily use.
