I know the go to for this sort of thing is typically earbuds, but are there any out there.

The person I’m buying them for as a gift typically goes through a pair every 6 months as they use them in the bath and eventually the steam seems to wear them down and they stop working.

So wondering if any were more resistant to this kind of use. And they have active noise cancelling too that would be a bonus.

    I imagine some wireless buds that have decent water resistant ratings would be best, plus no wires to think about when in the bath.

    The best kind are the ones advertised as washable under running tap water. Sony used to make a bunch of them… They would come with the disclaimer of “don’t subject it to hot shower/steam” but they’re still your best bet.

    My Sony WS623 (earbuds with built-in memory) has gone through multiple hot showers and always came out fine. Not recommended as BT earbuds though, low battery life and sound quality is limited because they truly did seal up the speaker with no vent hole.
