We often see IPX8 electronic products, but what does it mean?
When we buy electronic products, we often see IPX8 , IP68 , etc. We only know that these are waterproof standards, but do you know what they actually mean?
What does each word of IPX8 stand for?
IP is the abbreviation of Ingress Protection and is an internationally recognized protection level certification. The commonly seen IP level consists of two numbers. The first number represents the dustproof level (level 0 to 6 ); and the second number represents the waterproof level (level 0 to 8 ). The larger the number, the higher the level. The better the protection level.

IPX8 = the highest waterproof level for swimming headphones
Langsdom 's wireless ear bone conduction Bluetooth swimming headphones are a good example. They adopt the highest waterproof rating of IPX8 and can be soaked in water of more than 1 meter for a long time. They are a good choice for people who engage in water activities for a long time. In addition, Langsdom also uses ear bone conduction technology, allowing you to enjoy music while also hearing outside sounds.
Now that you know what IPX8 means, the next time you buy waterproof electronic products, you can choose the product that suits you according to your needs.
