ALBA

The earpieces sit snug even on long train rides, and the cable barely tangles in my bag. Sound is clean for the price, though bass won't rattle your skull. Solid first step into nicer in-ears.

Bought these mostly for long train rides and they've held up great. The in-ear fit stays put even when I'm moving around, and the sound feels way bigger than the price suggests.

I've been wearing these on my commute all week and the fit is what sold me — they sit flush in my ears and don't budge when I'm running for the train. The sound is way better than I expected for an entry-level pair, honestly a solid intro to nicer in-ears.
