The WSA-XL ST headphones carry an IP68 waterproof rating and have been tested to 1 meter depth. XP designed the rainproof seal to handle heavy rain, saltwater spray on beaches, and accidental submersion if you drop the headset in shallow water. The IP68 rating means the electronics are protected against dust ingress and continuous immersion, though XP notes the headset was not designed for diving, the 1-meter test depth proves robustness against waves and wet conditions detectorists encounter in the field. We've used the WSA-XL ST in Gulf Coast surf and Midwest thunderstorms without any water damage or audio dropout. The sealed over-ear cups keep moisture out of the drivers, and the USB Type-C charging port allows fast, modern charging convenience.
