Meze Audio is delighted to introduce ALBA to its impressive range of headphones, which as its Romanian translation signifies, is a ‘first light’ for those inspired by the world of elevated audio enjoyment. Designed to act as the first touchpoint in Meze’s growing portfolio, ALBA in-ears beautifully preserve the brand’s design language while providing high levels of comfort, noise isolation, and most importantly, an unmistakable immersive listening experience.

ALBA is the bridge between the current in-ear market and Meze Audio’s best-in- class collection, perfectly tuned with a neutral sound profile and an added touch of warmth, reminding listeners of the virtues of wired earphones. And thanks to the combination of zinc alloy and anodized aluminium parts, the ALBA’s resilient build doesn’t undermine its precious, lustrous pearl appearance. ALBA is the perfect earphone partner for a wide range of music sources, including the latest iPhone and all other smartphones with USB-C connectivity, as well as those with a 3.5mm headphone socket – thanks to a cable with a gold-plated 3.5mm connector. Portable and sociable, ALBA comes with a custom-made USB-C adapter, which features a built-in DAC (Digital to Analogue Converter), not only boosting the sound quality of your chosen source but ensuring an immersive audio experience.

“It was a combination of factors that brought ALBA into existence. Coming from a musical background, having maintained direct contact with our customers daily, and being an audiophile myself for the better part of a decade, really helped me understand the expectations for a complete and immersive listening experience,” says product manager, Vlad Toca. “Designed for those who dance to their own beat, for the curious and the free-spirited, ALBA comprises a perfectly accessible and qualitative introduction into the world of elevated audio enjoyment.”

With a 10.8mm dynamic driver and a 15-25kHz frequency range, ALBA’s impressive sound profile complements the stylish design perfectly. Packing a significant punch in a subtle, assured finish, the in-ears have a sound pressure level (SPL) of 109dB. Meanwhile, specially designed silicone ear tips in four sizes (S, M, L, XL) help listeners improve comfort and portability without missing a beat in any scenario.
