Mic is exactly 9″ from center of left ear bud. The silicon cups were loose fitting to my ears. I recently found that I could wrap the wire around the back of my neck and this enhanced my ability to hear my tunes significantly; w/out the buds falling out.
The Hybrid silicone earbuds provide long lasting comfort and designed to reduce ambient noise; x-small, small, medium and large earbuds are included to fine tune your fitment. Dave
