That was unexpected. These aren’t that bulky. The microphone is packaged very well for transport or storage when not n use. I purchased these headphones for the gym. ESTETICAMENTE MOLTO BELLO, MA MATERIALE DURISSIMO. They are solid, comfortable and fit right out of the package. On par with a £20-25 wired headset. Originally i ordered my usual 8. And very good shipping. I noticed it immediately when watching a movie, and even 150ms is enough to notice that the sound is out of sync with the video.
