【Enjoy Music Even in the Rain】JLab's Top 5 Waterproof Products for Commuting, Exercise, and Staying Active at Home During the Rainy Season

JLab Japan, the Japanese subsidiary of JLab, which achieved the number one sales in the U.S. for wireless earphones under $100 and sports wireless earphones in 2025, introduces five products with dustproof and waterproof features (IP standards) to enjoy music actively without worrying about malfunctions due to rain, humidity, or sweat as the rainy season approaches.

Important IP Standards (Dustproof and Waterproof Performance) for Choosing Audio Products in the Rainy Season

An important indicator to protect devices from rain, humidity, and sweat during the rainy season is the 'IP standard.' IP stands for 'Ingress Protection (Protection against Intrusion),' which indicates how much dust and water can enter the product.

▍How to Read IP Codes

IP standards consist of two digits, with the first digit indicating dustproof performance and the second digit indicating waterproof performance. For example, 'IP66' indicates that the product has a dustproof and waterproof performance level of 6.

▍Indicating Either Dustproof or Waterproof Performance

When indicating only one of the protective performances, either dustproof or waterproof, one of them is displayed as 'X (X).'

'IP5X' indicates a dustproof performance level of 5 and a waterproof performance level of 0 (none). 'IPX4' indicates a dustproof performance level of 0 (none) and a waterproof performance level of 4.

The IP standard has seven levels for dustproof performance and nine levels for waterproof performance. The larger the number, the higher the protective performance. It is also recommended to choose products based on IP standards during the rainy season when rain and sweat are concerns.
