Meze Audio STRADA

The Meze Audio STRADA is a premium closed-back headphone built around a newly tuned 50 mm dynamic driver, and that driver is really the star of the show here. Based on the proven design from the 109 PRO but optimized for closed-back use, it uses a carbon fiber reinforced cellulose composite dome with a beryllium-coated surround for fast, clean, low-distortion sound. In practice, that means deep, controlled bass, a natural and transparent midrange, and smooth, detailed treble that stays easy to listen to for long sessions. With excellent noise isolation and a balanced, articulate tuning, the STRADA works just as well for focused listening at home as it does for enjoying music without distractions.

Beyond the sound, the STRADA is very much a high-end Meze Audio headphone in terms of build and comfort. You get beautiful Macassar ebony wood ear cups, a lightweight magnesium frame, magnetic ear pads for easy swapping, and a soft, well-distributed headband system that stays comfortable for hours. It is fully serviceable and clearly built to last, making it a great option if you are looking for a high-quality closed-back headphone with a refined design, a comfortable fit, and a standout dynamic driver that delivers both musicality and technical performance. Also, it comes with a nice case and two cables!
