Title: Fantastic Audio Quality - with a few upgrades
Review: First, these are absolutely beautiful and are my first real pair of IEM's. When I first got them, I used the included dongle dac and the included cable on my S22 Ultra. I thought the highs were harsh and I had to use PEQ to calm them down. I then bought a Questyle M15i dongle dac and the balanced cable from Meze. The change in audio quality was tremendous. Like night and day tremendous. I no longer needed PEQ, the bass gained more impact, and the highs became clear, smooth, and lost all their harshness. I know it turns the Albas into about a $400 total purchase but to take them to their full potential I feel it's worth it. The Albas aren't the limiting factor; the rest of the included equipment is.

Title: Changed my mind on IEMs
Review: Over the ear headphones have always sounded better to me than IEMs…until now. I’ve tried so many in ear monitors and could never get full, rich, detailed sound from them. And, I’ve tried so many ear tips to get the best fit…didn’t make a difference. These Albas are on another level! They sound amazing!! I was skeptical…but figured for the price…why not try them! They are the best sounding IEMs I’ve heard under $600. The tuning is absolute perfection. I listen to all genres of music and truly enjoy all of it through these. I’ve used them with the FiiO Q15, which is also amazing…and I’ve used them with the FiiO BTR7. Definitely prefer the warmth of the Q15 paired with these. Oh…I did swap out the eartips for the Eletech Baroque Eartips, and upgraded to the MEZE 4.4 balanced cable for use with the FiiO Q15. I did try one other brand of cable that costs $79 and was silver plated, and coated with graphene. It sounded good, but to my surprise the Meze cable provided more bass. The other cable, for the price, introduced a lot of microphonics which became really distracting. Very little microphonics in the MEZE cable. The Albas are quality!! The materials, paint, etc…Is perfect! They are small and light weight and really fit the ear well and stay put! I’m a huge huge MEZE fan now! Definitely get these! You won’t regret it! Well…I take that back…they might make you regret what you’ve spent on much pricier IEMs…lol

Title: From great IEM to amazing IEM with EQ and Spinfit W1
Review: Quality 5/5 Premium feel with metallic build.Comfort 5/5 The included tips were ok. I bought a pair of Spinfit W1 size large and it took the fit/seal/comfort to another level. I used XL stock tip.Sound 4/5 Sounds great out of the box with stock tips and the Dac is good. I wanted more bass so I downloaded the PowerAmp Equalizer for Android. This IEM takes EQ very well and with the improved fit from the Spinfit W1.Highly recommended!

Title: it is what is expected from meze
Review: It is very good in medium frequencies and the details of the music, the bass is sufficient although it is not much, the voices are perfect, it competes with all the iems of its price, but if you put a balanced cable it changes a lot, I do not recommend using it with The DAC included in the package because I think it does not change the sound for the better, the mid frequencies are turned off a little and they give a little more presence to the bass.but without a doubt with a balanced cable it is great

Title: These are sooo good.
Review: Finally got my hands on one of these, and I'm glad that I did. The are so light and comfortable in the ear (I'm using Spinfit W1 tips). The cable is sweet and light as well. Easy to install and then to fit over the ear. The sound is so full and present. Everything is clear and crisp. The bass is there, treble is gentle, and mid range is just fine. I'm just so pleased with the Alba. I'm a real Meze fan, and the Alba represents another hit from them. This is a really great set of IEMs. Not to be missed.

Title: Most Comfortable. Great for Work
Review: This is my 4 IEM and it's perfect. It's the most comfy by far. It has a smooth sound with just a little excitement in the base. Its great for vocals.The small size of the shell means it fits perfectly and the thin cable means it's light and great for travel. It's also the only IEM case that fits in my pocket.The USB cable sounds good on my S24 phone. There is some improvement wirh my Hiby R4, but portability with my phone is excellent.I love the sound signature and comfort both for work and out. I highly recommended this IEM.

Review: Es un producto bonito, su diseño me gustó , el color …yo hubiera preferido una escala de grises para hacerlo interesante. Es necesario su dongle incluido para poder sacarle provecho. Para conocer a la marca creo que está bien, sinceramente creo que le cambiaría el cable por otro mejor pero está pasable. El combo de auriculares junto con el dongle incluido es justo, de no traerlo quizá hubiese optado por otro producto.

Review: The earbuds’ shell features exceptionally high-quality craftsmanship for this price. Same as the sound quality, is equally impressive, with well-balanced and good lows, mids, and highs.However there is a slight lack of resolution when listening with the included USB-C DAC, but it doesn’t detract from the overall listening experience.The cable is very soft, can providing a very comfortable wearing experience with its shell, but this also makes it more prone to tangling.
