Opening up the Everglide S-500 package, inside we were left with an optional lapel microphone, the actual headphones, and then an Everglide cloth bag. The bag itself is designed to store the headphones while transporting them (most likely to a LAN gaming event), and while it does not provide much in the way of protection from the headphones from being damaged, it is a safeguard to protect them from other elements. All of the relevant specifications and features were printed on the exterior of the packaging.
