Speakers and microphones just need a bit of gore tex. These are off the shelf parts, and companies like Apple etc can easily spec their own.

I agree that it's also really easy to make 3.5 mm jack sockets waterproof.

Yeah, I'm not trying to imply the speakers are hard to waterproof. Just that the 3.5mm is arguably even simpler.
