Meze Audio Poet

Meze Audio Poet

A symbol of Meze Audio’s dedication to crafting and refining headphones to perfection: POET open-back headphone. It features a blend of high-performance materials that synergize to elevate both form and function. A testament to this is the inclusion of top-of-the-line diaphragm technology featured in our ELITE model. The result: a compact planar-magnetic open-back pair of headphones that excels on all fronts.

POET features the RINARO MZ6 Isodynamic® Hybrid Array driver—a combination of the MZ4 and the MZ3SE drivers featured in the award-winning LIRIC and ELITE headphones. This new design aims to deliver a compact yet high-performance experience akin to the ELITE series. Each MZ6 driver is meticulously hand-assembled and tested at RINARO’s industrial facility in Ukraine, ensuring exceptional quality and precision.

High Quality Materials – Designed for Life

POET headphones are designed to be fully serviceable. Every component, from the replaceable earpads to the chassis, can be easily disassembled and maintained. POET includes a magnetic ear pad system, introduced in our 2nd Generation LIRIC for easy pad swapping. A premium hand-braided copper cable with 6.3mm termination is included with the headphone.

The intricate patterns in the steel grille were chosen to enhance the audio tuning, while the magnesium chassis adds durability. The soft suede leather headrest and flexible titanium alloy headband provide comfort and ensure an even weight distribution for a secure fit.

“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 ELITE’s driver technology and gave it new life. I believe POET turned out to be more than just a headphone; it’s a nod to a huge stepping stone in our development as a team and a testament to how far we’ve come.” – Alex Grigoras, Acoustic Engineer
