Reviewers agree the Meze Audio Alba is a well-tuned, comfortable single dynamic IEM that offers a natural, warm sound with accurate bass and solid imaging, making it a strong value at $160.
22:13The reviewer finds the Meze Audio Alba to be an excellent-sounding and comfortable IEM at $160, with a fun yet accurate bass, organic mids, and a smooth treble that avoids fatigue. While the soundstage is not vast, it is highly accurate with deep layering and excellent imaging, and the included dongle is a nice bonus, though the stock cable feels flimsy and the treble could use a bit more bite.
16:32The reviewer finds the Meze Audio Alba to be a well-tuned single dynamic driver IEM that deviates from typical Harman tuning by reducing sub-bass, adding mid-bass, and lowering upper mids, resulting in a more natural and refined sound. While the driver isn't the most detailed, the tuning and driver work well together, making it a great general-purpose set, though it may not satisfy bassheads.
9:46The reviewer praises the Meze Audio Alba as a well-rounded IEM that combines a natural, slightly warm sound with solid technical performance, all in a comfortable and unique design. It is considered a strong value at its price point and is recommended for its cohesive presentation and versatility, including gaming.
