Is it safe to use IEMs outside like normal earbuds? (alien.top)

I've been thinking of getting my first proper IEM (split between the Salnotes Zero, QKZ x HBB, Tangzu Wan'er, and CCA CRA+), and I wanted to know if it's better to have IEMs solely for at-home use or if they're durable enough for frequent outdoor use like going to school with them or going on a longer walk. Any response from someone who knows more about IEMs than me (aka anybody) would be appreciated!!

It's "safe" as in being outdoors isn't going to harm them, it's potentially "unsafe" if you can't hear what's going on around you (traffic etc)
