{"product_id":"meze-audio-poet","title":"Meze Audio Poet","description":"The Meze Audio Poet brings together everything they have learned about making exceptional headphones, packing flagship-level tech into a more approachable package. At its heart sits the new MZ6 Isodynamic Hybrid Array driver from Rinaro—a clever synthesis of the drivers found in Meze's Elite and Liric models. This isn't just marketing speak; it's a genuinely advanced planar driver that weighs practically nothing (0.06 grams) while delivering impressively low distortion under 0.05%, and the Poet incorporates Dan Clark Audio's AMTS (Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System) technology under license, which helps smooth out the treble response and reduce listening fatigue.\n\nThe Poet strikes a balance between musicality and precision, offering a generally smooth sound signature with a dash of treble sparkle that keeps things lively without becoming fatiguing. Unlike Meze's traditionally warm headphones, the Poet opts for a sharper, more revealing profile while maintaining that natural tonality the brand is known for. The bass digs deep into the sub bass with enough mid bass presence to satisfy, but without the typical \"hump\" that can overwhelm. The midrange is slightly forward, making vocals particularly engaging.\n\u003csection id=\"shopify-section-template--24735095587161__rich_text_iF43hw\" class=\"shopify-section shopify-section--rich-text\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"section section-blends section-full\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rich-text justify-center \"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"rich-text__wrapper\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"prose justify-items-center text-center\"\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eIntroducing the MEZE AUDIO POET\u003c\/h2\u003e\nA 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.\n\n \n\nPOET 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.\n\n \n\n\u003cem\u003e“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.”\u003c\/em\u003e – \u003cstrong\u003eAlex Grigoras, Acoustic Engineer\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\n \n\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-13213 entered lazyloaded\" src=\"https:\/\/duneblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Meze-Audio-POET-lf3.jpg\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/duneblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Meze-Audio-POET-lf3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/duneblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Meze-Audio-POET-lf3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/duneblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Meze-Audio-POET-lf3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/duneblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Meze-Audio-POET-lf3-700x467.jpg 700w\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" data-lazy-srcset=\"https:\/\/duneblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Meze-Audio-POET-lf3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/duneblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Meze-Audio-POET-lf3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/duneblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Meze-Audio-POET-lf3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/duneblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Meze-Audio-POET-lf3-700x467.jpg 700w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/duneblue.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Meze-Audio-POET-lf3.jpg\" data-ll-status=\"loaded\"\u003e\n\n \n\u003ch3\u003eHIGH QUALITY MATERIALS – DESIGNED FOR LIFE\u003c\/h3\u003e\nPOET headphones are designed to be fully serviceable.
