I mean sitting with iPad on table in front of you is a very short distance. It was just a little ding, but the white was noticeable through the guard. By far the best headphones I’ve ever had! Work great. N/A I just purchased and received my slippers that I have been purchasing and wearing for 20 years plus. I bought this since I always need a loop between the ones precut on normal belts. However, the biggest issue is the voice sound quality. So at max volume your shaking your room floor lol. It doesnt last aslong as I hoped but it does charge very fast so Im used to giving it a quick plug in 2 times a week at my desk.
