# Sineaptic SE-1: Unusual Packaging and a Comfortable First Listen > Opening the ribbon-driver headphones and trying a couple of songs.

It costs you nothing extra, and it has not changed what this article says — where a competitor is the better answer, we say so. I spend an unusual amount of this unboxing talking about the box. The Sineaptic SE-1 arrives in a folded-paper arrangement that opens in a way I have not seen before, with the quick-start information built into the packaging. ## There is a lot of room in those cups I take out the audio cable and USB-C cable, then lift out the headphones. The springy pads under the headband are the first comfort detail I want to try. The ear cups look roomy enough for my ears, and the headphones feel light in my hands. I turn them on and find that they already have some charge. ## Time for a couple of songs I can still hear the room around me when I put them on without music. Once I start listening, my initial thought about the bass changes as the track gets going, so I try another song. I like the sound and the comfort in that short session. That is my first listening impression, rather than a measurement of their response or a report after weeks of use. ## The longer test comes later The ribbon-driver design is what interests me on the package, but I have not opened the headphones to examine it. I plan to spend more time using them in my everyday setup. The original product link, course and channel-membership links are below if you want the references from the recording.
