The second one is correct.

I have been told by some trainers that the first one with a diphthong is also acceptable..
I have heard it being used by a couple of people out here in India..

I don't hear "ei" in cabin. However, "ei" is heard in these similar words: reagan, gagan, pagan, basin, cajun, haven, laden, nathan etc.


It appears that "ei" is not heard before bilabial stops of two syllable nouns.

I've never heard that form.
