Romanian manufacturer Meze Audio has introduced the STRADA closed-back dynamic headphones. With excellent noise isolation, natural spatial rendering, and a carefully tuned driver system, STRADA creates a private sonic space, and is designed for long listening sessions at home or on the go.
STRADA’s acoustic profile embodies balance, control, and precision.
- Deep, defined low end: A slight bass lift adds punch and body without bloating or masking detail.
- Neutral, transparent midrange: Instruments and vocals shine with lifelike timbre and clean separation.
- Smooth, detailed treble: Extended highs reveal subtle textures and spatial cues while maintaining a fatigue-free presentation.
The result is an articulate, emotionally engaging sound signature built for both casual enjoyment and critical listening.
Inspired by the chassis of the LIRIC series, STRADA introduces a reimagined build optimized for dynamic driver performance. Each pair is hand-assembled from premium materials and shaped for an adaptable, natural fit.
Lightweight, versatile, and exceptionally comfortable, STRADA is designed for hours of uninterrupted listening.
At the heart of STRADA lies a dynamic driver first introduced in the 109 PRO, newly tuned for closed-back performance. Every component was engineered to optimize clarity, speed, and durability.
Crafted from a carbon fiber-reinforced cellulose composite, the dome delivers high-frequency detail with clarity and minimal distortion. The surrounding torus is formed from a semicrystalline polymer coated with beryllium via Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD).
This enhances stiffness, durability, and transient response, while precision-cut 45.5-degree grooves further refine control. A copper-zinc alloy stabilizer encircles the membrane, absorbing micro-vibrations to significantly reduce distortion.
Features
- Magnetic ear pads: A seamless magnetic mounting system allows effortless pad swapping while maintaining the perfect seal.
- Exotic Macassar ebony ear cups: The dense, hardwood features deep brown tones enhanced by golden-brown striations, making each pair visually unique.
- Lightweight, long-wear comfort: A precision-crafted frame and dynamic driver system help reduce overall weight, ensuring fatigue-free listening.
- Soft-padded headband: Cushions arranged in a symmetrical cross pattern distribute pressure evenly, maintain airflow, and reduce heat buildup during extended sessions.
- A modern, natural sheen: The magnesium frame is hand-painted in a refined deep green with subtle metallic shimmer. Four carefully applied layers create a finish that expresses both modern design and human artistry.
