Meze Audio Poet

Meze Audio Poet

A symbol of Meze Audio's dedication to making and refining headphones to perfection: POET open-back headphones. It features a blend of high-quality materials that synergistically enhance both form and function. Proof of this is the application of top-of-the-line aperture technology in our ELITE model. The result: a compact planar-magnetic open-back headphone that excels on all fronts.

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

High-quality materials - designed for life

POET headphones are designed to be completely serviceable. Every part, from the interchangeable ear cushions to the chassis, can be easily disassembled and serviced. POET includes a magnetic ear pad system, introduced in our 2nd generation LIRIC for easy ear pad changing. The headphones come with a high-quality hand-braided copper cable with a 6.3 mm jack.

The intricate patterns in the steel grille were chosen to enhance audio tuning, while the magnesium chassis adds durability. The soft suede leather headrest and flexible titanium alloy headband provide comfort and even weight distribution for a snug 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 as capable as our top-of-the-line models. So where better to look than at the top? Working with our friends at RINARO ISODYNAMICS, we synthesized and revived the essence of ELITE's driver technology. I believe POET has become more than just a headphone; it's a nod to a huge step in our development as a team and a testament to how far we've come." - Alex Grigoras, acoustic engineer
