Steve details Meze's new IEM, Alba, and all that it entails. Does Alba combine usual elements of what we expect from Meze, such as great build and sound, or perhaps something different?

And maybe they are perfect for people who have wireless iems, and want some wired iems to have in backup, when you want that analog sound and are tired of the cons of bluetooth.
Honestly speaking, SEA (South East Asia) made iem is on boutique side and their price tag astronomically on the summit level (Elysian, Subtronic, etc) so they are not belong in the Chi-fi category.

No, he doesn't mean every brand from Asia. He's specifically talking about the budget/value brands from Asia, not the premium brands. For example, AuR audio is a more budget/value focused company from Singapore. Penon is a more budget/value focused company from China. He isn't saying Chi-fi equals cheap, or Asia equal cheap. He's saying there are more emerging brands from Asia focused on budget/value, that's all. For example, Subtonic Storm was priced at $5,200, Cayin DAPs are astronomically priced premium offerings, Lotoo has one of the most recognized endgame DAPs, QDC has a $13,700 Sea Dragon IEM, Unique Melody's flagship is $8.5k and Amber Pearl is $8,000. He wasn't referring to any of these brands. He was actually just specifically talking about actual budget/value brands from Singapore, China, Malaysia, Philippines, etc.

Yeah - to clarify, there's a huge range of brands coming out of China and SEA right now. Between brands from China, Korea, Singapore, Vietnam, etc. that I've demoed, it seems like there's a really good spread of high value and price/performance products, and more luxury/boutique type products, but even boutique brands like DITA and FATfreq seem to be able to deliver on their budget friendly products (like Project M or Maestro Mini.) On the other hand, many Western brands don't even offer anything under $500, and if they do, they're outclassed by Asian products at the same (or lower) price points.

These are made in China
I've been waiting for this review (not to mention the twelve OTHER Alba reviews published on KZread today ;)
FIRST! 🎉 😇 May God Bless You Always, Stephen! 😇
What do you think about this bs the simgot supermix 4
How are these for trance, rock/metal, pop, electronica, classical ect... ? I listen to a wide range of genres. I like detailed, wide, punchy and a little warm sound. It must be enganging and musical. Not Fatigue. And of course comfortable. The most comfort iems ive had, is the beyerdynamic xelento. A good iem. But to pricey
how do these compare to the Project M

I'd most likely take Project M, but Alba is a little more relaxed, and doesn't have the same potential for fatigue that some people have found in Project M.
Alba vs Hexa ? what's better

@@or1on89 but if you listen to this review, that's basically not huge praise for the Alba. He said Alba is only for (1) if you have $50 IEMs at the moment, you can consider the Alba being an upgrade on the tech side (2) if you have better IEMs, get the Alba because you can rough it up or lose it outside instead of your better stuff. Also, I watched several other Alba reviews and they all say "good for the price" or "good for an IEM coming from Meze", etc. which are all very limiting praises. This review was actually kinda ruthless in comparison to those other hype reviews.
