To delight in something is to enjoy it, to find great pleasure and joy in it.




The new parents delighted in their child's first smile.




To be delighted with something or someone has a more utilitarian connotation; when delighted with something or someone we are more than satisfied with how it or the person performs. We are happy with how it works or how the person is working out.




The queen was delighted with her new hairdresser.



The student was delighted with his new sound-cancelling headphones.
