Just like the earbuds, the inline feels well made and somewhat water resistant, thanks to the sealed button design.The only drawback with the button design is that the buttons aren't raised and require a hard press actuation, which takes away from the tactile experience.

Inside the box, you get a hardshell zip case with clamshell opening and silicone eartips - one set of double flange tips and 3 sets of bowl shaped tips. The silicone eartips are comfortable to wear, thanks to the thin inner bore design, which is good for long listening sessions but not ideal for passive isolation and bass - a set of foam tips would be best for this.
