SeekerEtymotic ER4XR
Decent for mixed usage. The Etymotic ER4XR are fairly straightforward headphones that block a lot of noise passively with their unique in-ear fit that doesn't leak. They're also very portable and will easily fit into most pockets so you can have them on you at all times. This makes them an above-average choice for commuting and traveling and a decent option for the office. They're also stable enough for sports. Unfortunately, they do not have the most balanced sound for critical listening which is their intended use case and they have no control scheme which is not ideal when on the go.
