Delivery was on time as promised. You barely notice it with moderater use. This might serve audiophiles very well that need a compact & great sounding travel speaker. I bought these as a gift for my girl , they arrived promptly and were everything I had expected , my only real disappointment is that they did not come available in half sizes which would have fit her perfectly . Thick, durable, deep pockets reinforced for "carrying"😉. Dont be tempted by the "certified refurbished" label. I typically wear 8 in pumas, sometimes I can rock an 8. The controls are a little tough to get to but you get used to it quickly and it’s not an issue, just crank up the jams and wear them like a pro. It definitely makes my blouses look smoother and feel better. To put this simply: they lie to you in order to get your money.
