The two ring box came wrapped in plastic and worked well.
The one ring box was not in plastic and the box had scuff marks. The plastic was broken that closed the box.
The ring charged and changed from red to green.
Upon pairing to the app, it wouldn't show up in the list of available rings to pair. So, I put it back on the charger. It lit up green... finally it showed up in new rings to pair. Then, it wouldn't connect. Afyer trying several times I tried the ring on the other charger for the 2 ring box. And it lit up white after me pairing it. When I went to play it, it didn't work at all. It kept unpairing then pairing and never did play music.
The other two from the 2 ring box paired right away and played flawlessly.
I have ordered a new ring, and will up date my post when it arrives.
UPDATE: So, I ordered a second single ring. It just arrived l and once again the seal is broken, the ring was dirty, the box was dirty and the mat had fur on it. I have a very disappointed little boy who was supposed to have this for valentines day, and still cannot use it.
So, no...I do not recommend this, nor the company that is sending out damaged products.
