Meze Audio ALBA - A Light in The Shape of Sound

[MezeTeam]

Hi, everyone!

This is the one many of you have been waiting for. It is especially exciting for us as well, since it was teased this year at CanJam Singapore and Munich High-End, and we appreciate the feedback you guys gave us. Meant as a complete audiophile package from the get-go and as an introduction to audiophilia in general (a FIRST LIGHT, if you will), this is the Meze Audio ALBA!

SOUND THAT SPARKS EMOTION

Experience the unmistakable Meze sound. Possessing a neutral sound profile with an added touch of warmth, ALBA can vividly emphasize both the rain and the thunder in your favorite songs. Reach for the light, close your eyes, and press play.

RADIANT COMPATIBILITY

Take the light with you anywhere you go. The Meze Audio custom-designed 3.5mm to USB-C adapter has a built-in DAC/AMP to ensure an immersive audio experience.

BUILT FOR COMFORT

By preserving the Meze Audio design language, high levels of comfort, ergonomics, and noise isolation are assured. The combination of zinc alloy and anodized aluminium parts ensures a resilient build.


SPECIFICATIONS:

Driver: 10.8 mm Dynamic Driver
Frequency Range: 15 Hz – 25kHz
Impedance: 32 Ω at 1kHz
SPL: 109 dB SPL/V at 1kHz
Distortion: <0.1% at 1kHz

I'm pretty firmly a full-size headphone guy but this has me very interested for those occasions when an IEM would just be more convenient. Seems like a very smart move targeting the price as they have.

Yeah I found it. These USB C IEMS are super convenient.

Looks really beautiful ,

Maybe the most hyped I've been for an IEM in awhile. I can't wait to eventually A/B it with the also brand new (and similarly priced) FD15. 1DD fans are eating well in 2024.

The color and finish is deceptive, it is more of a pearlescent white to me. Beautiful either way but here are two pics how it will shift with lighting.

Another beautiful Romanian product by Maze. Congratulations .

Stoked for this to finally release! I know myself, @Resolve and @GoldenSound were shocked when we found out what the price was for the Alba after first hearing it (myself at Axpona, Resolve and Golden at Munich High-End). Having the included USB-C is a nice touch!

Are there impressions anywhere available on the web? I wasn't able to find any (ordered anyway because for the price, why not).
