As mentioned earlier, the Arctic Sound E361-WM comes with various accessories: a case, a TRRS adapter, two extra pairs of silicone caps, a cable clip and a neat ARCTIC COOLING sticker. The latter is a nice addition, but it is quite peculiar to include such a sticker with earphones. A sticker included with computer hardware is usually a case badge. I suppose this sticker can be used as a case badge as well, though you might decide to use it on your mobile phone or portable media player.

The included earphone case is very strong. It has a very tight zipper and, inside, the earphones can be wrapped around the center. Given the fact that these earphones have an MSRP of 41,45 / US$ 60.95, protecting your investment is a must. Nevertheless, I feel that most users will not be using this case if they are going to use the earphones with a portable device. Carrying and using the case would be too tedious in such a situation.
The sturdy case
Again, the Arctic Sound E361-WM comes with a microphone that can be used thanks to its TRRS connector. For devices that do not support TRRS connectors, an adapter that splits it into two 3.5mm connectors (stereo and microphone) will have to be used. Unlike the TRRS plug, the adapter uses much smaller plugs that are straight and not 90°. I feel that ARCTIC COOLING should have opted for a similar and smaller design for the TRRS plug.
The adapter installed
Three different pairs of silicone caps are included with the earphones. The medium-sized ones are pre-installed onto the earphones and they should give a comfortable fit into most users ear canals. If it does not, the small or large caps can be easily installed onto the E361-WM. Like any other in-ear earphones, a good ear canal seal is essential for good sound (through isolation) and comfort.
