The website is clear and concise. The online purchase is easy and an immediate response is emailed once the order is processed. The product was received in good condition at the expected delivery date. At first I had trouble connecting the product through MFi hearing devices and sent an email to Noopl that was responded to immediately with actions to take in order to connect successfully.
