The IE8 has already proven itself to be a veritable tank, one of the members on our local forum (headphiles.org) had his pair submerged in fetid floodwater for 24 hours and it still worked perfectly after being let to dry.

I know they look quite fragile in the pics, and are really light and small, but they actually seem well built on the outside, at least as well built as other plastic housings, and they have a thicker cord than a lot of others I've tried. Of course only time will tell. I don't know about being submerged in water for 24 hours though lol.
