In at least one embodiment, a waterproof headphone assembly is provided. The assembly includes an earphone. The earphone includes a neck portion, a base portion, and a flexible skirt. The neck portion defines an attachment channel that extends about a first axis. The base portion defines an audio channel along with the neck portion. The audio channel extends along a second axis that is perpendicular to the first axis and enables a transmission of an audio signal from a transducer to a user. The flexible skirt is removably coupled to at least one outer recess of the attachment channel positioned on the neck portion. The attachment channel enables water collected from within the audio channel to be removed therefrom when the flexible skirt is removed from the at least one outer recess.
