Alba, so we are informed, translates from Romanian to 'first light', and Meze says this signifies those taking their first steps inspired by the world of elevated audio enjoyment. We initially thought they were simply named after their pearlescent white finish using the Latin translation.
Meze Audio states that the Alba in-ears preserves the brand's design language while providing high levels of comfort, noise isolation and, most importantly, an unmistakable immersive listening experience.
With a 10.8mm dynamic driver and a claimed 15-25kHz frequency range, Alba boasts an "impressive sound profile" that complements the stylish design.
The new in-ears have a stated sound pressure level (SPL) of 109dB and come with specially designed silicone ear tips in four sizes (S, M, L, XL), so these should be comfortable for even long listening sessions.
The Meze Alba is also versatile. In addition to a standard 3.5mm headphone cable, it comes with a USB-C adapter complete with a built-in DAC (Digital to Analogue Converter), which boosts the sound quality of your chosen source and ensures an immersive audio experience.
Furthermore, thanks to the combination of zinc alloy and anodised aluminium parts and a lustrous pearl appearance, the Alba should remain looking good for a long time.
Meze Audio's Alba earphones are available to pre-order now, priced at £139/ €159.
