There is a slight platform that contributes to the comfort as well as the "of the moment" look. Bluetooth connects to iPhone easily. However they are very soft and nice colours. I wasted my money The fit is great, as is the sound quality. Disappointing, because I always buy these kinds of Crocs for work and Ive always had them last for a good year before Ive had to replace them. Very adorable, I love it and now I dont have to worry about dropping my buds live which Im prone to doing. I?m on the 11? iPad and don?t find the overall weight that bad. This refurbished speaker works just as good as my new one and was wayyyy cheaper My husband who is a veteran flipped out because I didnt get him one for Fathers Day.
