Disappointing But Very Capable | Meze Alba IEM Review | Best IEMs Under ₹10K?

[@raSesh_o0o]

Great review ! Was waiting for it. Now looking forward to a comparison with oriveti od200 as i am seriously unable to choose between these two. Thank you.

[@PaulsPOV]

It's a comparison I want to make soon. Im very curious about how they'll stand up against one another.

[@VishnuP-j2i]

Already did a thorough research. Alba is shit bro. Go for Orivetti OD200 and pair with a good dac.

[@govindxavier6303]

just go for od200 man whaT a pair of beauty those are it just makes addictive listning......nd also a lil xtra spark than the alba

[@VishnuP-j2i]

@@govindxavier6303 silver nozzle for more rounded sound. Vocals sound so natural. More organic kind of sound. Try black nozzle with wavelet( search od200 black nozzle). It's nice.

[@CharLessMajor7Music]

How does this compared to simgot supermix 4? Which will you recommend please. 🙏

[@maurya_acharya]

what are the best IEMs you'd recommend for someone with a budget of around 3000 INR? I'm looking for good sound quality, especially in terms of bass and clarity. Any specific models you'd suggest?

[@PaulsPOV]

Have a look at my review on the Kiwi Ears Cadenza.

[@aamirjoad]

sir plz if possible make a comparison with od 200. waiting for that video

[@geniunegamers1996]

Compare with oriveti od 200

[@johnnysins-il8bv]

Bro,comparing this to oriveti od 200 can u tell us which has wider soundstage,which has better sub base and vocals

[@PaulsPOV]

This is a comparison I intend on doing soon!

[@finantra4511]

​I am waiting for this comparison coupled with ifi go link dac. I have already ordered od200 and expecting delivery soon. ​@@PaulsPOV

[@Nirav_Gheewala]

Hi Paul Just Two Questions 1. I have 10K what should i choose between Meze Alba & Oriveti OD200 ? 2. I have 5K which portable dac you suggest with 3.5mm & 4.4 mm jack ?

[@PaulsPOV]

I haven't yet to do some A-B testing between the Alba and OD200. Hopefully I'll have that review out soon. The DACs I've used to test the Alba were the iFi Go Link and Rose Technics RZ-550. Both very capable. IFI doesn't have a balanced output sadly. I've got a EPZ TP35 in for review, seems capable. Need to spend more time with it.

[@Nirav_Gheewala]

​@@PaulsPOV Thanks for the prompt reply. I will wait for your detailed comparison.

[@PREMKUMAR-qq6pk]

Compare with od 200 and also with s12 pro

[@elavarasandinesh2698]

Paul Whats happend to the live session man really missing that..

[@PaulsPOV]

I haven't had the time to have more in the recent weeks. I'll start them again soon.

[@elavarasandinesh2698]

@PaulsPOV Thanks man ❤️

[@absurddude1]

Aah i was so mad for this review lol There's isn't a bad review, is it really that God level

[@PaulsPOV]

They're good, not doubt. But I want to make some time to compare these to the Oriveti OD200 soon.

[@absurddude1]

@PaulsPOV hmmm intresting, od200 will Excel in my opinion lol

[@PaulsPOV]

I think so too. It's always sounded to me like it belongs in the 16-18k price bracket, so the fact that you can get it for 10k is crazy.

[@absurddude1]

@PaulsPOV yehh, it's a master piece and the reason why hpz made a Collab, like kiwi cadenza.

[@chikku18india]

What DAC would you suggest?

[@PaulsPOV]

I tried these with the iFi Go Link and a Rose Technics R-550. Both really opened these IEMs up, as did my desktop set up.

[@hishighnes5474]

I am using Alba, for more than a month. When I was started with IEM, I really not impressed much, I felt instrument are good, have a good quality of bass. But vocal was ok. Especially mail vocals compare to Females, I felt female vocals were better. When i was listening to a song i was felt i missing the enjoyment, but vocal was clean, instrument was , bass is good ,but vocal were missing some energy and Missing the enjoyment part. After 30 days of use vocal are better now. Instruments at its best, bass is good in quality. Male vocals also good but femal vocals are better than Male vocal. And what i notice this IEM need more power , else the low end will loose energy. And Ear buds not the best it need better seal. But I always feel like this IEM can be better or Missing some fun and depth of the vocal and missing the isolation. And really want to know how this compare to SIMGOT Super mix 4, Truth Ear nova. But none of the Chifi reviewers done any comparison with those , so looking forward to your review

[@VishnuP-j2i]

Alba is below avg bro. Under 10k Orivetti OD200 is the best iem you can buy.

[@hishighnes5474]

@VishnuP-j2i I won't say it's below average, and it has great potential but need better hardware to drive it. Have you tried both Alba and orivetti

[@VishnuP-j2i]

@@hishighnes5474 okay, I too tried Alba. Check out other reviews. You'll get it. It's not worth that money. It should price under 6k.

[@PREMKUMAR-qq6pk]

All hyped it but not worth for this price

[@graninja7225]

Which one should buy…..?between truthear hola and truthear gate please please please give the solution 🙏 ,I am very very confused about this

[@PaulsPOV]

The Hola was discontinued some time ago. The Gate has taken its place.
