I have spent 700$ on headphones and they have all broken from regular use. I need bluetooth anc noise canceling headphones that can handle the cold and rain (doesn’t have to be waterproof just has to not break in some rain). Also don’t buy xqisi or750i they literally lasted 3 days before breaking in half

    Something to keep in mind is that most of these headphones with water/sweat resistance ratings only means it is resistant to splashes aka short term exposure. Not being submerged underwater or in the rain for lengthy periods of time.

    Allow me to introduce you to the concept of wearing two baseball caps, each pointing 90 degrees to the left and right, so as to shield your headphones from the rain. Now you are free to pick any headphones you like.

    I feel like breaking 3 pairs in a month is just carelessness. Like damn. I’ve never broken a pair in years, and mine have taken some falls and stuff. I’ve got the xm4s now and they’re pretty solid with some EQ. I’d recommend them any day.

    I’m using Airpods Pro 2 for few months; rain, snow, etc. - no issues so far. ANC is great too. If you want to use over-ear headphones in rain/snow, better buy 30EUR ones and replace as they break; meanwhile earbuds hide under the hoodie/jacket/beanie and don’t get wet themselves.

    headphones that can survive in the rain…

    maybe… just TWS earbuds like airpods pro 2 or wf xm5?

    alternatively, strap a jbl flip 6 to your forehead. at least it’ll survive in the rain.
