Meze ALBA

When affordable sounds like high-end


Sandu Vitalie · Soundnews.net

“Vlad told us the price would be €159 / $159, and our faces went through different states of shock and excitement. We couldn’t believe it — we even asked if there was a hidden camera and if we were part of a prank.”

If you’ve never owned a truly good headphone or in-ear monitor, the Meze ALBA is an exceptionally approachable entry point into great sound — the kind that immediately feels more “high-end” than you’d expect.


Built for comfort

Comfort and ergonomics are at the heart of the Meze Audio Alba design. A combination of zinc alloy and anodized aluminum components creates a resilient construction that feels premium in hand.

The iridescent finish gives the Alba a glossy, pearl-like appearance — as impressive visually as it is sonically. With strong noise isolation, you can enjoy your music calmly and without distractions.


Outstanding compatibility

Take your music anywhere with Meze Audio’s specially developed 3.5 mm to USB-C adapter. This high-quality adapter features an integrated DAC/AMP for a noticeably better portable listening experience than typical dongles.

An LED indicator confirms the active connection, and USB-C compatibility makes the Alba a perfect match for modern phones, tablets, and laptops.

What does this mean?

The line marked as target is something you could call the “ideal” curve: a target response derived from research by the Harman group, exploring what kind of headphone tuning tends to be preferred by a broad range of listeners – regardless of age or demographics. This is often referred to as the Harman Target.

From left to right you see sub-bass, bass, mids, and then the curve tilts upward where treble begins. That part of the spectrum is naturally amplified by the shape of the human ear.

Sub-bass sits on the target, the bass follows the target curve. The lower mids are neutral, the presence region around 3 kHz sits slightly below the target. The treble follows the target, above 10 kHz there is a lot of extra air. Left and right channels track each other closely, a sign of careful driver matching.
