Unconditional Satisfaction GuaranteeNo Shipping Fees Above 302 Months to Decide. Returns Simplified.The new Meze Poet combines form and function, using high-performance materials and new driver technology based on the flagship Meze Elite. Poet delivers the same musical magic as Mezes flagship planar-magnetic headphones in a more compact package.
From the very beginning of our POET journey, we knew we wanted to create something unique a more compact planar-magnetic open-back headphone that is every bit as capable as our flagship models. Well then, what better place to look than at the very apex? In collaboration with our friends at RINARO ISODYNAMICS, we synthesized the essence of ELITEs driver technology and gave it new life. I believe POET turned out to be more than just a headphone; its a nod to a huge stepping stone in our development as a team and a testament to how far weve come.
Alex Grigoras, Acoustic Engineer
Over the years, we have seen many different brands and models of headphonessome with great aesthetics that attract buyers, only to disappoint in sound quality, and others with exceptional sound but poor ergonomics that make extended listening sessions uncomfortable.
We are glad that some great companies today make headphones that are both comfortable and sound fantastic. However, one company stands above the rest in design, fit and finish, and build qualityMeze Audio.
The first time you see a Meze headphone, you are drawn to its unique look and craftsmanship. Their flagship Elite and Empyrean II models resemble sculptures crafted from metal, with tolerances tighter than some luxury watches! However, every model in Mezes lineup reflects the same level of meticulous attention to detail. Even their entry-level IEM, the ALBA, looks like a tiny work of art.
But heres the thing: Meze headphones sound just as good as they look!
Mezes philosophy is to make headphones that reveal the beauty of music. All the details are there, but they are delivered in a way that makes you want to take the day off and just listen. Their magic sound comes from their philosophy of:
Meze is an interesting brand. Since debuting its first product in 2014, it has been on a mission to design and build headphones that offer more than just cool looks or gimmicks. Antonio Meze, the companys founder and lead designer, is not a salesmanhe prides himself on designing products so well that they sell themselves.
With the Meze Poet, Meze took what they learned from their flagship offerings and created a more compact headphone that will introduce a new audience to the world of Meze Audio.
We cant talk about the new Meze Poet without mentioning Mezes not-so-secret weapon regarding sound qualityits partnership with Rinaro Isodynamics. Rinaro, a Ukrainian company, began as a state-funded research program and has since become a leading authority in planar-magnetic driver technology.
With Rinaro at its side, Meze developed a new headphone offering flagship performance in a smaller package.
Ultra Low Distortion
Total harmonic distortion (THD) measures under 0.05% in the whole frequency range.
Lightweight
73 g (2.5 oz.) total driver weight designed to create a headphone that offers comfortable prolonged listening sessions in a compact form factor.
Ultra High-Resolution Audio
Upper frequency limit of audio reproduction is 96 kHz.
The new MZ6 driver is the culmination of years of research and development. Meze and Rinaro have learned everything they can about designing headphones like the Empyrean II and Elite, and they have applied all that knowledge to this new and exciting driver.
Meze states that this driver is one of the most lightweight and advanced drivers to date. At 2.5 oz total driver weight, it is significantly lighter than other planar-magnetic drivers on the market.
[MZ6] Casing
Reinforced polymer housing designed to withstand the demanding 10,7 N load generated by the Hybrid Magnet Array.
[MZ6] Parus Diaphragm
A biaxially oriented, semi-crystalline polymer film with a remarkably low weight of 0.06 g and an expansive active area of 3507 mm.
[MZ6] Hybrid Magnet Array
Symmetrically placed on either side of the diaphragm, our neodymium magnets are arranged into a Hybrid Array to create a 0.3 Tesla Isodynamic magnetic field required for a uniform activation across the whole diaphragm surface.
This unique new driver is a three-part system. The casing is made of reinforced polymer and is designed to withstand the magnetic pressures of the hybrid magnet array. Then, there is the Parus diaphragm, a biaxially oriented, semi-crystalline polymer film with a remarkably low weight of 0.06 g and an expansive active area of 3507 mm. Finally, there is the Hybrid Magnet Array, an array of magnets surrounding the diaphragm, arranged to create the 0.3 Tesla Isodynamic magnetic field required for uniform activation across the entire diaphragm surface. This all works together to create the new MZ6 driver in the Poet.
One of the unique aspects of the Meze Poets driver diaphragm is its dual-driven voice coil system. This allows the diaphragm to function more like a two-way speaker by optimizing two separate diaphragm areas for different frequency ranges. This design provides many of the benefits of multi-driver speakers, while maintaining the coherence of a single driver. The Switchback Coils, highlighted in blue, are optimized for low frequencies, delivering a robust bass performance that forms the foundation of the music. The spiral coil, highlighted in yellow, is optimized for higher frequency reproduction and is positioned for direct transmission into the ear canal. This minimizes time delays and enhances detail, resulting in crystal-clear sound, an immersive soundstage, and the signature imaging that Meze headphones are known for.
Mezes AMTS (Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System) is a precision-crafted metal component that covers select areas of the driver frame to attenuate high-frequency peaks that could cause fatigue. This helps keep the highs natural-sounding, making Meze headphones ideal for extended listening sessions.
When you hold the Meze Poet, you can immediately tell that it shares its DNA with Mezes other planar-magnetic headphones. The suede leather headrest and titanium alloy headband provide a premium look and allow for a very comfortable wearing experience.
At 350 grams, it is about 20 grams lighter than Mezes other planar-magnetic headphones. This small weight reduction makes a noticeable difference, allowing you to enjoy your music without fatigue, even during long listening sessions.
One of the things that Meze prides itself on is creating headphones built for a lifetime of use. Engineered to handle years of daily listening, the Poet is fully serviceable, from the ear pads to the internal high-performance components.
One of the things that Meze prides itself on is creating headphones built for a lifetime of use. Engineered to handle years of daily listening, the Poet is fully serviceable, from the ear pads to the internal high-performance components. The Meze Poet is designed to last a lifetime and even be handed down through generations. This is completely feasible, given what weve seen in Mezes outstanding build quality!
If you are looking for a class-leading headphone, one designed after years of research and development, but want a more compact chassis than whats currently available, the Meze Poet should be at the top of your list. With the new Rinaro MZ6 compact driver, magnetic pads, meticulous design, and build quality that will last decades, who wouldnt want a pair?
