Meze Alba - The Most Affordable Meze Audio IEM

[@gamextron2841]

Nice review Eagerly waiting for the 2024 list of iems under 2000 rupees

[@warriorpus]

When I bought my first IEM and used it, I didn't notice much difference.But when I listen to lossless music with Hi-res Audio supported mobile phone or Dac, I get a very different experience.🎧🎶☺️

Truth Ear Hexa VS Meze Alba - Sound Comparision ... Best One ?

[@headphone_zone]

Both the Truthear Hexa and Meze Alba are best in class in their respective tunings. The choice between them depends on your preference. If you prefer a neutral sound, the Hexa is the best option. If you enjoy a balanced and fun sound, the Alba is the way to go. Additionally, the Alba offers better value for money with the inclusion of the DAC.

[@Warhead-rl2gi]

Hey i only have wynk premium...so its 320kbs sound quality....will iem still make a difference??

[@headphone_zone]

Yes, it will. Although at some point you might want to try Apple Music for lossless quality music.

You can go for the Tangzu - Wan'er S.G.

[@gauravgoyal1205]

Hello HPZ. I like emphasis on vocals. Shrill treble gives me very early fatigue. I equally listen to rock and EDM. Should I prefer OD 200, or Meze Alba? I am open to other recommendations too. Budget is between 7-15K. Also, snug fit is high priority. I have already purchased Blon BL-03 (I find them fatiguing) and Shaling UA-1 from you. Also, I have bought Final silicone eartips separately (Incase these accessories help you in recommendation).

[@headphone_zone]

For your preferences, the Oriveti OD200 with the silver nozzle would be a great choice, as it emphasises vocals and offers a balanced sound. Alternatively, you might also enjoy the FiiO FD15. Both options should cater to your needs for a snug fit and a fatigue-free listening experience. If you need more advice, feel free to ask!

[@iamanujshukla]

This is a beautiful 😍 pair of IEM from Romanian brand Meze. Thanks Headphonezone for bringing this to India.

Hi..Im a beginner in IEMs Just tried Tangzu waner Didn't blow my mind and caused discomfort Help me pick Aria 2 vs Meze Alba? Can I really notice the difference between them Im getting it mainly for music Edm, Pop n indian music Which will suit for long hours without ear fatigue? Thanks in advance 😊

[@headphone_zone]

If you like a warm and smooth sound signature, you should go for the Moondrop - Aria2 and if you prefer a balanced sound signature you should check out the Meze Alba.

Hello guys.. great review as always. I've a question, can you please suggest a IEM under 2000 or 2500. I like to hear instrumental music and I'm a big fan of clear vocals. Please suggest some.

[@headphone_zone]

You should check out the 7Hz Salnotes Zero.

[@kunalshrivastava6398]

Raghav is your favourite IEM still the Dita Project M? I got one a few days in and loving the way they handled the treble on it (probably has something to do with the BA super tweeter mounted into the nozzle). It has become my go to wireless IEM with the Go Pod adapters and using LDAC, it comfortably dethrones the Blessing 3, even after the 6k peak correction. Also looking for a decent tube amp (with tube rolling if required) to pair with HD800S, any recommendations there? Cayin's HA-3A looks good but folks over at head-fi keep saying I should go OTL with the 800s. Got a contact over on reddit, says he can ship a pair of Brimar 6067 12AU7S for the HA-3A (but recommends keeping the stock 6V6 pair for amplification). Thoughts?

[@headphone_zone]

We love the Dita Audio- Project M as its truly a special IEM. To answer your second query, we prefer pairing the 800s with the Cayin HA-3A. Having said that, it ultimately depends on you as to what would be the best option for you, depending on your personal preferences.

[@pritamhaobam2949]

Listening to audio in HPZ Experience Studio in Mumbai discounts 99% of the Indian population. I have a suggestion. How about giving a sample audio of the product reviewed in the video. This will give a fair idea of the product's sound reproduction.

[@nathz2020]

I choose ie200 sennheiser over meze. Because of the neutral, light weight, and comfort. Or hidizs mp145 for fun and engaging sound.

[@ArunG273]

Have you tried meza alba?

[@headphone_zone]

Interesting! 🤔🤔

[@ajaymichaels553]

This or simgot ea500Lm ? Which will be the all rounder like sounstage, imaging, resolution, seperation and mainly which has the quality or rumble/elevated bass between them.

[@headphone_zone]

Both the Simgot EA500LM and Meze Alba are best in class in their respective tunings. The choice between them depends on your preference. If you prefer a mild V-shaped sound, the EA500LM is the best option. If you enjoy a balanced and fun sound, the Alba is the way to go. Additionally, the Alba offers better value for money with the inclusion of the DAC.

[@chaitanyav7000]

Hi Ragav, I purchased by seeing your review, i used simgot 500 LM , even tube music i felt goose bumps it took into another world eventhough without dac, only backdrop is little bit bulky for my ears and felt fatigue for long listening, And coming to alba in laptop by sung dac felt good experience but not same in mobile i am a beginner to thos world please suggest how to enhance better experience while using mobile , eartips , dac or something else

[@headphone_zone]

The way Simgot IEMs are tuned, they do sound bright which can be a bit fatiguing. However, to eliminate this we recommend using your Simgot IEMs with a narrow bore ear-tip. We think that your phone is unable to provide enough power required for the DAC to function to its maximum output and hence your IEMs sound better with your laptop and not your phone.

[@ajaymichaels553]

What dac chip is used? Tell the specs of the dac and is it in par with ifi go link dac? or ddhifi dac? or fiio jade? I see you guys deleting the questions regarding dac. Tell the specs. We are serious

[@headphone_zone]

As the brand has not disclosed any definitive information regarding the DAC chip, we are unable to make comparisons with other well-known DACs at this time.

[@ratkutti]

It does PCM 32/384, no MQA or DSD; that's all is out there and no info on anything else like chips in use and so on.

[@maradona267]

How does this compare to the Rai solo? Should I buy one?

[@headphone_zone]

Comparing the Meze Alba to the Rai Solo is a bit challenging because they belong to different generations of IEMs with varying technologies and tuning philosophies. The Alba is refined in every way. If you're looking for a modern, well-rounded IEM that offers great clarity and sound quality, the Alba is a fantastic choice. However, the decision ultimately depends on your personal preferences and budget. Keep the music playing!

[@chinnaramanjaneyulu6989]

Please it's a request compare it to truthear hexa and aria , I am considering it as a potential upgrade I would wanna be sure 🤞🙇‍♂️

[@headphone_zone]

In our opinion the Meze Alba sounds better when compared to the Truthear - HEXA and the Truthear x Crinacle - ZERO:RED as the Meze Alba has a better sound stage, smooth treble and sounds more detailed compared to the other two.

Hello Sir, Presently using JBL Tune230 TWS. (rapid battery draining issue cropped up) Please recommend me a Type C Cable IEM. Requirement: I prefer slight bass (not too heavy) but with very balanced, detailed neutral sound staging, where I can notice the immersive experience of instrument separation and nuances. Mostly, I listen to Ilaiyaraaja (80s Songs) AR Rahman(90s Songs) and latest Tamil/Malayalam/Punjabi songs. My Buget is Rs.4000 and doesn't have DAC. I prefer sound quality over build quality and durability. This is going to be my first IEM. Advance Thanks.

[@headphone_zone]

We'd recommend using your budget to get a great sounding Dongle DAC, and a good IEM. 4k has several options that you can go for as a bundle. It should sound better than just using an earphone with a Type C connection.

Kindly consider this request. Can you suggest me a good IEM for gaming under Rs. 2000? I recently checked out the Final VR500. If you are suggesting something else, can you please compare with the VR500. Also, I'm new to IEMs and would love to try out IEMs for the first time.
