Meze Audio ALBA IEM Earphones

Meze Audio ALBA In-Ear Monitors With USB Dac/Amp Connectivity

Overview

The Meze Audio ALBA earphones / IEMs marks a new chapter in portable high-fidelity sound. Named after the Romanian word for “dawn,” it symbolises light, renewal, and the beginning of a fresh listening experience. In keeping with Meze Audio’s design philosophy, ALBA combines precision engineering with the warmth of human craftsmanship, creating earphones that feel as considered as they sound.

At its heart lies a 10.8 mm dynamic driver tuned for balance, space, and natural musical flow. Every note of the Meze ALBA in-ears arrives with intention—bass lines are firm yet textured, vocals feel present and lifelike, and the treble extends effortlessly without edge. The sound of the ALBA's is not built for exaggeration but one that mirrors reality, letting the emotion of a performance unfold naturally. With 32 ohms impedance, 109 dB sensitivity, and a 15 Hz – 25 kHz frequency range, the ALBA in-ear monitors delivers high-resolution playback from virtually any device, from dedicated DACs to everyday smartphones.

The form that houses this sound is unmistakably Meze. Crafted from a mix of zinc alloy and anodised aluminium, each shell of the ALBA earphones is shaped through precision die-casting and finished in a soft pearl tone that subtly catches the light—like the first glow of morning. The design feels refined yet resilient, weighing only 14 grams for effortless wear. Even before hearing them, you sense the care in every curve and finish.

Comfort is where that care becomes personal. The Meze Audio ALBA IEMs arrives with four sizes of custom silicone ear tips that shape themselves to your ears for an ideal seal, improving isolation and bass definition. Once fitted, they sit so naturally you can forget they’re there, leaving nothing between you and the music. A compact eco-leather case completes the set, keeping the earphones protected while adding a small touch of everyday luxury.

Connection and clarity meet modern practicality. The IEM silver-plated braided cable ends in a standard 3.5 mm plug for use with traditional sources, while a dedicated USB-C DAC/AMP adapter transforms any laptop or phone into a clean, high-fidelity player. This included DAC keeps distortion low and detail high, ensuring the ALBA’s musical integrity wherever you listen. It’s a thoughtful inclusion that turns convenience into quality.

Built to endure, the ALBA IEMs reflects Meze Audio’s long-standing commitment to sustainable, serviceable design. The detachable cable makes maintenance simple and future upgrades easy. Its solid metal chassis resists daily wear, and every part is replaceable—ensuring the earphones continue to perform and look their best for years to come. This is design that values longevity as much as innovation.

For Groove Central listeners, the Meze Audio ALBA earphones embodies what modern portable sound should be—refined, expressive, and enduring. It carries the clarity of studio monitoring with the warmth of daily listening, wrapping it all in the unmistakable artistry that defines Meze. ALBA isn’t just an introduction to the brand; it’s a quiet reminder that even the smallest moments of sound can feel extraordinary when they’re crafted with heart.
