Qcy ht05. 2 years and counting.
Not very popular but I am in love with [https://www.qcy.com/products/qcy-ht05](https://www.qcy.com/products/qcy-ht05) for well over 3 years. Good enough for me and for the price (Aliexpress - during sale got 2x set each one \~SGD 35). No looking back. I've used Bose before and don't see much difference in the MRT. Downsides of QCY - Wind noise is something this is bad with; Mic is not great quality. So while calls are perfectly fine in office environment or walking not very good in MRT (especially DTL).
Madami nagrerecommend nun kasi yung price to performance nya mahirap matalo. Personally mas prefer ko yung ANC nya kesa sa Moondrop Space travel 1. Pero kung overall sound at bass lang, pinaka marerecommend ko yung QCY melobuds ht08. nasa 1.3k siya pero I swear wala ka pagsisisihan.
go with qcy melobuds
At minimum go for the qcy melobuds. those are 8k with anc and good sound quality and battery life.
