MEDIA REVIEWS

The ALBA reveals these nuances, delivering a more balanced sound signature that preserves all frequency ranges without compromise.

The Meze Audio Alba earphones are a triumph. I love the sound and the decision by Meze Audio to bundle a decent-quality DAC adapter for smartphone listening is a smart one.

It’s a breath of fresh air to encounter an affordably priced IEM that excels in build quality, accessories, and fit, especially in a segment dominated by Chi-Fi offerings.

If it feel like I didn't complain much about these, it's because I find them close to perfect to so many points of view.

Good stuff

The audio is good; well balanced imo. No complaints there.

The USB-C to 3.5mm adapter has a light on it that looks nice for the first five minutes n then it just becomes annoying, especially in darker and/or more reflective environments. I constantly see it in the corner of my eye through my monitors, so I ordered a different one. 😅

Amazing

After some research, I bought these IEM to couple with my Sony Walkman NW-A306, and the result is amazing! Accustomed to headphones, I am very surprised as crystal clear the sound is (obviously, from Hi-Res files) ! Very detailed instruments, good bass, and clear voices.
To not forget the packaging, which is really well made, and the carrying pouch (perfect pocket size).

Honestly, I could not be happier.

I really liked the product!

I wanted some IEMs to start in the HiFi world and they are just excellent. I love that they have a USB-C adapter, I use them from my laptop and they sound great. The delivery was quite delayed (to Germany) and the cable is microphonic, not against the friction of clothing but during movement. Apart from that, they are magnificent. I recommend them 100%.

Enjoyable

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.

A joy to use

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.
