ALBA S is the same 10.8 mm in-ear as ALBA, with the same 32-ohm load, zinc-alloy shell, 2-pin cable and four ear-tip sizes. The difference is commercial and practical: the USB-C adaptor is not in the box. Anyone who already owns a DAC, dongle or player with a 3.5 mm output avoids buying the same link in the chain twice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSame ALBA in-ear with 10.8 mm dynamic driver\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e32-ohm impedance and 15 Hz-25 kHz response\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eZinc-alloy and anodised aluminium shell\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDetachable 2-pin cable with 3.5 mm jack\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNo USB-C adaptor in the box\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFour ear-tip sizes and eco-leather pouch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere it works best\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eALBA S should be chosen from the listening environment rather than price alone. Its acoustic architecture determines how much room noise enters and how much music reaches nearby people; impedance and sensitivity indicate how readily a phone, dongle, player or desktop amplifier can produce a useful level.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eBuilt to last\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMeze designs ALBA S with replaceable cables and wear parts. Being able to renew pads, cable or connections extends useful life and separates a repairable product from one defeated by a single failed element. Materials and finishes therefore have a purpose beyond appearance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMaking the right choice in the range\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe useful comparison is not an abstract ranking. ALBA S makes sense when its balance of isolation, openness, portability and supplied equipment matches the source and listening place. Spending more may add materials or technology, but does not automatically make a headphone more suitable for travel, office work or home listening. A short trial with the intended device is therefore more informative than specifications considered alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Meze Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58548142145880,"sku":"MEALBAS","price":138.03,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/5278\/7645\/files\/meze-audio-alba-s-3cdbz.png?v=1790167263","url":"https:\/\/videosell.eu\/products\/meze-audio-alba-s","provider":"Videosell store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
