Waterproof Headphones For The Nox 800

[TedinVT]

LS Pelso WP phones

First of all, I've been using these phones on fresh and saltwater hunts and am very impressed with the sound.  I have not hunted with the phones submerged and would expect the sound to suffer a bit when submerged, but out of the water they are great.

Second, we are vacationing in FL on the Gulf and it's been very windy.  The drain hole on the non-corded side is susceptible to wind noise when that hole catches the wind.  Turning your head a bit helps with that issue as does a small piece of electrical tape which solves it.  The cable tie on the corded side mitigates the wind noise on that side to acceptable levels.

Third, I had applied a liberal coating of sunscreen  to my ears (not thinking about them being covered by the phones ? ).  Big (dumb) mistake.  The sunscreen reacts with the black paint that covers the inner plastic grill piece with the sound holes over the top of the speakers.  Not good.  The sunscreen softens the black paint making a gummy mess where ear contact is made.  A little baby powder firmed up the gumminess and seems to have dried it out.  Bottom line, don't put sunscreen on your ears when using the Pelsos.  The No Ad brand carried by big W label lists dozens of unpronounceable chemical ingredients that should have been a clue.
