In a world where everything seems to be going wireless, in-ear headphones are still holding their ground. There’s just something satisfying about untangling that cable and plugging it into the trusty 3.5mm jack (shoutout to Sony Xperia 1 VI!).

You may already be familiar with Meze, or perhaps you’ve even experienced their exceptional audio quality. Now, the renowned brand is introducing the Meze ALBA: a pair of wired earbuds priced at $159, designed to deliver a neutral sound profile with a hint of warmth.

Crafted with a combination of zinc alloy and anodized aluminum components, the ALBA boasts a sleek and elegant pearl appearance that is sure to catch your eye.

But what if your phone doesn’t have a headphone jack? Fear not! The Meze ALBA comes equipped with a custom-made USB-C adapter featuring a built-in DAC (Digital-to-Analog Converter). This nifty device enhances the sound quality by converting digital music files into high-fidelity analog sound waves, providing you with clearer and more detailed audio output.
