ALBA

Love the design, casing anf cable included.
Sound is great as well. Both with the dongle/usb-c-aux and a dac.

The earbuds are quite good. My ears do feel them after 4+ hours use. But that's the case with most earbuds(all that I have tried).

If there was one thing that would make me like them more I would be upgraded or more comfortable earbuds. But the stock ones aren't bad.

They look gorgeous, sound large and detailed out of the box and connected to an iPhone through the original dongle. But connect them with the 4.4mm balanced cable through the Ifi DAC, and play some nice Hi-Res files through a dedicated music player like Neutron, they completely transform, present what they are capable off and really shine. All this for a very reasonable price.

In fact, I'd never heard of this brand.
It was following some advice via Qobuz that I was tempted to buy and test.
Packaging-wise, nothing to complain about.
The contact with the people is good. Delivery was made as quickly as possible.
Soundwise, nothing to complain about. The earphones fit well in the ear and the sound level is OK. I can hear all the details of the music very well.
The only drawback is the USB-C-->Jack adapter. Too bad the chip is limited to 96Khz (what my smartphone tells me). Other brands allow you to go higher.

I had heard lot of excellent comments about this IEMs, so I had to try by myself. And what I would tell in short is that all of them are true. I hardly see a reason to go further than this for most of the listeners.
The quality is above expectations. I would have only loved a slightly bigger carrying case. It fits, but you must learn how to accomodate the usb-c dongle too.
