The verdict

The Meze Alba are an interesting pair of earbuds, especially if you're looking for a refined bass experience. It feels like a huge step up in terms of sound compared to general consumer earbuds. However, it doesn't have general consumer-facing features such as a microphone.

✓Liked: Price, Small size, Deep bass, 3.5mm to USB-C adapter

✕Could be better: Fragile paint finish, No playback controls, No microphone, Treble is painful at times
