Meze Audio is no stranger to the audio game and they’ve developed a strong and loyal following over the years. This is much deserved for their class-leading build quality and design set to a rich, inviting sound tuning. However, while their headphones have received wide acclaim, Meze has found it difficult to establish the same foundation in the more saturated IEM market.

This changes with the Alba, a new affordable single dynamic driver IEM from the company. It sports the same sculpted design as the far pricier Advar and shares a robust zinc alloy and aluminium build. The iridescent finish gives a premium aesthetic designed to imitate a lustrous pearl. Inside, a 10.8mm dynamic driver promises a neutral/warm sound tuning reminiscent of the company’s headphones.
Coming in at just $159, the Alba is the company’s cheapest model. You can read more and secure a unit for yourself on Meze’s website here!
