I am writing this one day after delivery. I searched for a product to wear while reclining on my side and wearing glasses. I have long hair often worn in a braid or pony tail and have a narrow face and odd shaped head because headbands tend to slip backwards and off. I often watch instructional videos in bed or on the couch and turn on my side or do other things and want to listen to something on my side because I can't stay too long laying on my back. Sometimes I am lying down and follow relaxation audio. Other times I am sitting in the room while hubby watches TV and I do a puzzle and listen to podcasts. I don't fall asleep to music and plan to remove this headband before falling asleep. Things I wanted in a headband are comfort and function. It is too early to review the electronic quality and endurance. So far I am impressed. The headband is 2 pieces of very lightweight, soft, "performance" stretch knit fabric sewn together with components in between. The outer fabric is variegated blacks, whites and grays. The inner fabric is a fine mesh light gray. It fits comfortably on my small head size and readily stretches over my eyeglasses and bulky pony tail or braid. The center back seam inside is open so that the recharge cable can be connected. I posted photos of the inside. The charging cable tucks back inside the seam when not in use. That needs to be connected to another (included) cable which has a USB connector at the end. You will need to buy the USB power convertor that plugs into the wall if you don't already have one that accepts a USB port. Or you can plug the USB end into anything that is capable of reaching a USB device. It takes 2 hours to charge before connecting to Bluetooth. It charge in about 90 minute for me. I had no problems connecting it to my iPad even with an already connected BT pen. I can use them both together like if I want to play a puzzle using the pen and listen to Pandora piano music. The control component is located in the front (power, volume, play, pause) and is easy to remove when laundering, as are the 2 flat audio ear speakers and recharge cord. The stitching is around three sides and the corner of the fourth side to hold the components in place. It stretches easily to push the ear and control pieces out so the headband can be washed. At first I only heard sound in my right ear so I had to adjust the headband a bit lower and rotate it to hear in both ears. But it sat comfortable and it didn't cover my eyes. The volume can be adjusted in the headband or with my iPad. Either way works. I was concerned because an earlier post said it was too quiet but I think it is fine. I have tinnitus and minor hearing loss in one ear. I turned the volume up as high as it would go. It is not blaring, but it is as loud as a typical voice conversation. I even lowered it a tad because it was too high much for my liking. I think for the purpose of relaxing in a quiet room it is quite loud enough to hear without any problems but not loud enough that it will block out all noises like a barking dog or fire alarm or someone shouting for help. It will block out gentle snoring or maybe a bit louder snoring and will block quiet conversation and other ambeint sounds. I found the quality to be clear for voice relaxation tapes and the music is not tinny sounding. It's not an audiophile sound offering all the treble and bass ranges of course, but it works quite well for my needs. Update June 2020: I discovered the reason it was "too quiet" was because I of an iPad setting. It isn't found under "Sound". It is located under the "Music" app and is called "Volume Limit" It was set to some sort of protection mode so music would not get loud enough to cause hearing loss. I needed to turn that setting to "off" so that I can hear dialogue. So far I am extremely pleased. Even if it lasts only a year, it seems well worth the $20.
