How can I use my Alba with an iPhone?
The ALBA in-ear monitors come with a 3.5 mm to USB-C adapter with an integrated DAC/AMP. This adapter makes it plug-and-play compatible with iPhone models 15 and newer (which have a USB-C port). If you have an older iPhone with a Lightning port, you’ll just need a 3.5mm to Lightning port adapter to connect the ALBA. Once connected with the appropriate adapter, your ALBA should work perfectly with your iPhone.
Is my order subject to customs and taxes?
Depending on your country’s import laws, your order may be subject to customs duties or VAT/local taxes when it arrives. These fees are charged by your government (not by our company) based on the product type and value. For more specific information, you may want to check with your local customs office.

If it turns out that your headphones do need to be sent in for service or repair, we will provide you with the instructions and address to do so. We’ll make sure your headphones are taken care of.
What is the difference between the normal-sized ear cups and the small ones for the 99 Classics? Do you lose anything in soundstage with the smaller pads?
Write content to answer common questions your customers may have about your products, shipping. The main difference when using the smaller ear pads on the 99 Classics is in the sound tuning. With the small ear pads, you’ll get tighter control of the low frequencies and more forward mids (including upper-mids), so the sound may feel a bit more present in the midrange. The soundstage, however, remains almost the same – you won’t lose any noticeable width or depth compared to the normal-sized pads. In short, smaller pads give you a slightly different tonal balance, but the overall soundstage is just as immersive.
Why are there no Left/Right markings on the headphone cable or ear cups?
The 99 Classics headphones are designed to be symmetrical, so the ear cups themselves aren’t labeled Left or Right. Instead, the audio cable will indicate the channels for you. The cable’s plugs have small “L” and “R” markings (and the left plug even has a tiny tactile ridge on it), which tell you which side is which when you plug them in.
Why does the wood on different 99 Classics headphones look lighter or darker?
The wooden ear cups of the 99 Classics can vary in color and pattern because they’re made from real wood. Each piece of wood is unique, kind of like a fingerprint. Factors like the wood’s grain, texture, and natural color mean that some headphones will turn out a bit lighter, and others darker. This is normal and part of the charm of using natural wood. In essence, no two pairs of 99 Classics look the same. The wood’s unique character gives each headphone its own individual appearance. Rest assured, this doesn’t affect the sound or quality; it’s purely cosmetic.
Do I need to “burn in” my headphones? If so, what are the recommendations?
There’s some debate about burn-in, but here’s our guidance: For our flagship models (Empyrean/Elite), no formal burn-in period is required; thanks to their advanced diaphragm materials and pre-stabilization, they sound great right out of the box. Some listeners do perceive subtle improvements after approximately 50-100 hours, but it’s not mandatory. For our other models, like the 99 Classics, we generally suggest a moderate burn-in. For example, the 99 Classics may benefit from approximately 35-50 hours of play. You can simply enjoy your music normally over that time; the headphones will naturally reach their optimal sound. Remember, these are just recommendations; your headphones will sound excellent from day one, and any changes with burn-in tend to be gradual and slight.
