I love them so much I?m going to buy another color. but since they are no longer produced it?s something of a mute point. Better overall feel in hand than G403 and Fenek Standard which have a generally similar shape, but at the cost of feeling a little generic and boxy, so not on par with the melty curves of the Zowie EC series. I use it mountain biking and I get a little worried that Im going to lose my phone and not realize it, something I never worried about with the old mount. 5", which is not what we needed. Therefore I now love these earbuds as I hoped to from the beginning and moved my rating from 2 stars to 4. so these would be good in a work setting. I know what the Krakens sound like, for two weeks straight I went to a store with them on display and hooked up my music to test it out. Surprisingly, no complaints. These covers do come in a small bag so you can have some clean spares and you get plenty of them.
