The packing was certainly very 'frustration-free', as advertised, no problems opening the package.
There is a good bass/treble balance, and the in-ear buds feel comfortable.
The only drawback is that the L/R symbol on the ear-buds is very faint, making it hard to differentiate which one is which. In fact, there is only a Left one, nothing on the Right.
This was a great book set, and although each book pushes or exceeds 1000 pages, any avid fantasy reader would welcome this series with open arms. Each successive novel becomes more and more intense (with the exception of the fourth, where the action comes to a near stand still).
Regardless, this set would make a great present, for a friend or even oneself.
Note that the pages have fine print. If you would like larger, more spaced out text, the hard-cover version would be much easier to read.
