Looking for Water Proof/Resistant Bluetooth Earbuds

Tokeegee

So after doing some research apparently the Apple Airpods aren't water proof or even resistant. My favorite earbuds I own are my Earpods (I own 3 pairs, just in case I lose some) I want to get a pair of wireless earbuds that are waterproof/resistant, mostly to listen to in the shower, but have no idea where to start. I'd like a pair that fits in similarly, because I really can't wear the other style of in ear headphones for long (I included a picture of what I mean, because it's hard to describe them).

 

My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S8, if it helps with compatibility.

Earbuds in the shower? Can't you use a speaker?

I live in a house with other people, don't want to bother them.

I would be more afraid of losing one of them down the shower drain than I would be about bothering my roommates.  Use a speaker, just don't crank the volume to max.

My shower drain is covered, nothing as big as an earbud could get through the little holes.

The problem with earbuds is that it's extremely hard to make them water resistant, because lets face it earbuds need a large opening so that it can project sound into you ear without having to be in the ear canal, and it needs a fairly large bass port somewhere in the chassis.

 

TL;DR, I think you'd be hard pressed to find half-decent (or frankly any) earbuds that are water resistant.
