What reviewers said

Meze Audio Alba

The Meze Audio Alba is a lightweight, wired IEM that delivers a well-rounded, mildly V-shaped sound with impressive bass and clear separation for its price. It's easy to drive thanks to its high sensitivity, and the included USB-C adapter adds practical convenience, making it a strong value pick for everyday listening. Build quality is solid and the fit is comfortable, though a few minor quirks like the cable and stock tips keep it from being flawless.
