Meze Alba

A light in the shape of sound – FIRST LIGHT

All beginnings are marked by the reverie of a bright light – its warm, hopeful rays soothe and energise, imprinting memories that define our journey ever after. Imagine being able to hold this light in the palm of your hand, taking it with you wherever you go.

Warm. Hopeful. Universal.

Light, even when not physically present, always manages to find its way into our lives. We never forget the first dawn and the energy it brings – it binds us to life. Let Alba shine through and experience the magic of pure, natural sound. Anywhere. Anytime.

“It was a combination of factors that brought Alba into existence. Coming from a musical background, having maintained direct contact with our customers on a daily basis, and also being an audiophile myself for the better part of a decade, really helped me understand the expectations for a complete and immersive listening experience. Designed for those who dance to their own beat, for the curious and the free-spirited, Alba comprises a perfectly accessible and qualitative introduction into the world of elevated audio enjoyment.”
Vlad Toca, Product Manager

Alba shares the same shell design as the renowned Advar. What are the differences between these two earphones?

The internal chamber of Advar has been modified to fit the 2-pin connection, but other than that, Alba shares the same design language as Advar. The materials and technologies are different, Alba is made with zinc alloy and anodized aluminium, through diecast, compared to Advar’s stainless steel, made through injection moulding.
