Following hard on the outside and the inside soft and cuddly. I transport my little Bose usually without the charger and the cable, then the little one sitting perfectly in the package and has a little air. But even with shell and cord including the local plug it fits, if you look at two - takes three minutes. I would always make just before a long journey and this effort falls not significant. So I can recommend this bag / envelope. It is my opinion the value price, not as overpriced as the portion of Bose. When you stand on simple design, it fits a fortiori, the little black dress. ; O)
