This has to be the most well packed product I have reviewed before. The box itself is blue with a Niob logo on the top. Underneath the lid we find everything well sorted in this foam to protect the products during shipping. We have to mention that even the cables are wrapped in plastic to cover them up.

On the left we can see everything that is included with the player itself. We have cables and even more cables 
On the right picture we have the retractable USB and sound cable. This is very nice that they retract and thus far they have done that for us at least.

The player can be either charged with the wall charger or through a USB port when connected to the computer. Niob also includes a necklace for your player so you can have it hanging around your neck while using it. The headphones included work surprisingly good for being headphones that are included with the player but some how they feel weird quality wise; it’s almost like they feel like they will break when using them. One good thing though is that a headphone extension cable is included with the player.

The extension cable makes the headphone cable around 30 cm longer which is a really good thing since you can disconnect it when you feel it will be in your way. The player itself has a kind of funky round looking design but it feels good in your hand and you can feel that it’s quality you are holding.
