I'm glad they went with the now-standard .78mm two pin connector instead of some other nonsense like most other non-Chifi IEM manufacturers.
@PaulWasabii6 ай бұрын
I half assume that was a cost issue, any more small increments would push it higher than they wanted.

The finish was a surprise as everyone knew it was white, but it doesn't show up easily in pictures. Then you pull it out of the box and realize its better than the pictures.

Great review and I've been waiting for this iem. Please can you share that EQ spreadsheet and what's dap did you use?
@PaulWasabii6 ай бұрын
No daps, I use Foobar 2000 on my PC. The values are literally slider values. It is meant a general guide, if you have a dap with EQ, do slight changes in those areas.

How are they for jazz and more acoustic music?
@PaulWasabii6 ай бұрын
Kinda what I mentioned on the bass control, imo jazz more so than acoustic, requires more balance, doesn't sound right with Harman subbass dominant sometimes. Acoustic is fine, that is where you see they added that bit of midbass for a more organic sound, touch of warmth.

I saw on your squig that measurements for the titan s2 seem to measure similarly. Id be super curious if you feel like things related to fit, driver techs, or even those minor fr changes make this one worth it.
@PaulWasabii6 ай бұрын
Part of Alba is you are paying for the build, part is it is tuned better. Small changes, small improvements is what the hobby is about. That is why I EQ. Titan S2 is closer to how I would describe Harman, too much subbass, too much upper mids. Fix those two, and it gets closer. Both sets are priced right though. But if you like more bass than bass control, then Titan is better.

Hey what do u recommend, Meze alba or Simgot EA500LM with gold nozzle no foam
@PaulWasabiiКүн бұрын
EA500LM if you have treble tolerance. It's up there in treble level. Alba is closer in tuning to lots of other sets.

@@PaulWasabii Thank you. Do you think that the EA500LM has better technicality in terms of quality in comparison to Meze. I currently use EA500LM with gold no foam and the treble is ok for me. thanks in advance

How do you compare Alba with Super mix 4 and Truthear nova, which is more value for money.
@PaulWasabiiАй бұрын
The strength of SM4 is the weakness of Alba, the techs. Some people will always prefer a more natural 1DD over hybrid driver setups. Other people want the most detail, most resolution. Never heard Nova but similar to SM4.
@hishighnes5474Ай бұрын
@PaulWasabii Thank you Paul. I am coming from blon bl03, and i bought Alba.but when I am hearing blon bl03 I am getting the wow or the enjoyment part which i am missing with Alba. So will you rate Sm4 over Alba? When someone want to upgrade from blon bl03 will you suggest Sm4 over Alba. Your reply is much appreciated

@PaulWasabii6 ай бұрын
A 1DD, even a nice one, won't resolve better than a hybrid like SM4. If you don't care about that, Alba is the safer choice. A bit less Harman sounding.

is it really worth to upgrade from kefine delci?
@PaulWasabii6 ай бұрын
This hobby is about spending a lot of small improvements. With Alba, you are buying the shell design, finish, Meze name. If those aren't a priority, enjoy Delci, its a great set.

tough one, they are different. Nuo is great unless you are sensitive to upper treble. Trio is more like other popular sets and the switches will give a couple bass options.

These are beautiful, but audio is not about looks of course. It is undoubtedly a good IEM but by the lack of enthusiasm in most reviews, it seems like you're paying 70% for the IEM and 30% for the brand name. As a painter, i really respect the White pearl move tho, unique and creative. Graph-wise, it seems pretty close to KATO/Kadenz with a bass boost or refined T3+ (with more modern driver?) and thats not bad by any means but pricing just seems a bit steep (for all 3) in current market. If they ever go on sale, i'd love to grab a pair just for the looks alone/as a collectable without much expectations for sound just so they can hopefully surprise me.

Definitely a set that needs a sale but yes, the material is very nice and I'd be scared to throw them around. I have chipped too many iems in the past

Ask Tony/Akros. I never heard Origin, but looking at the graph, I'd take Alba for the reason I said, Alba is almost 2db lower in ear gain area. Origin bass shelf is right on though, it didn't need that much ear gain
