However, that was to be expected though, right? I mean, look at the size of this thing and what typically shows up at your door to make shipping feasible. I also like that the footprint of this new model is smaller than the old one. These are a great value in my book. But in all honestly, I like that, since youre putting your money towards paying for the quality earphones, not 10 pairs of ear tips that youll never use. I really liked these at first. Perfect size and style for my guest bedroom. 1 star for inaccurately describing the item. No LED clock no LEDs at all. A quality product which I would recommend. considering 2 little kids and post partum recovery).
