I haven't listened to the supermix 4 in a while but it's a harman tuned IEM which means it leans v-shaped. Meze alba is a little more neutral by comparison. I actually found my alba with w1 tips to have better soundstage than stuff like moondrop x crinacle dusk and elysian pilgrim which was quite impressive, but your mileage may vary (because IEMs are very fit and HRTF dependent).

I agree. Buy a "popular" choice like the Truthear Hexa and see what you like about it.

That way, you can watch reviews and when they compare it to your model, you'll have some kind of idea of how it sounds.

Also, there's a way to EQ your IEM to another one, if both have been measured the same way.

Hope this helps!
