I want to make these Bluetooth earbuds waterproof, or at least water resistant (something close to the IP65 or IP66 rating), and I was thinking about sealing the casing with a non conductive superglue and finishing off with some isolating tape on some parts. My main concern is the lithium battery, maybe I'll wrap it up with isolating tape.
Is this a good plan? Do non conductive glues even exist? What can I do with the part where the sound comes out? Should I just rely on the rubber thing to isolate water from it? I want to know if this is possible from a chemical POV. Also maybe this could help someone else doing a similar project.
Also sorry for my bad English, I'm not a native English speaker.

I was thinking about posting there, but those guys are just dipshits in general and will probably link me back here or DIY (I already posted in the latter)

There exist spray coatings for waterproofing. Just spray the earbuds lightly and they'll make it through rain. If you want to swim with them, then you'll need additional measures depending on pressure.
Also, not science.

Good idea, but I want something a little more permanent. I'd like some help on superglues. Are there any specific kind that's non conductive? Any ingredient I should avoid?

just shoot it all up with hot glue
