Meet the Meze Audio STRADA - a pair of closed-back dynamic headphones crafted for tonal balance and musical intimacy. With its full-bodied sound, excellent noise isolation, and natural sense of space, it delivers a harmonious acoustic experience where detail, texture, and dynamics come through with effortless precision.

A balanced tuning with a focus on control and precision. The low end is tight and well-defined, with a slight bass emphasis that adds punch and body. The midrange remains neutral and transparent, preserving natural timbre and separation across instruments and vocals. The treble extends with subtle energy in the upper region, revealing fine textures and spatial cues while maintaining a smooth overall presentation.

The Meze Audio STRADA inherits its design from Meze's acclaimed LIRIC chassis, reimagined around a dynamic driver architecture. Hand-built from premium materials and shaped for a natural, adaptable fit, its lightweight closed-back construction distributes pressure evenly across the head and ears, delivering a thoughtful harmony of a consistent seal, isolation, and long-wear comfort in a more versatile form.

Designed for long listening sessions, STRADA brings together gentle clamping force, deep memory-foam ear pads, and the proven ergonomics of our award-winning LIRIC design. The soft PU leather contact surface of the ear pads provides a reliable acoustic seal, while the Alcantara-lined inner chamber helps manage heat and moisture buildup inside the ear cup, reducing fatigue during extended wear. Together, these elements create a closed-back headphone that feels natural and easy to live with, letting you stay immersed long enough to forget to press pause.

At the STRADA’s core is the dynamic driver first introduced in the 109 PRO, tuned to perform within a closed-back chamber. Meze has kept the driver’s natural character fully intact while refining its behavior to meet the acoustic demands of a sealed environment.

W-SHAPED DOME: Made of a carbon fiber-reinforced cellulose composite, the dome can reproduce high frequencies with remarkable detail, clarity, and definition. More durable than conventional alternatives used in dynamic drivers, yet lightweight, this composite helps reduce resonances that may lead to harmonic distortion.

BERYLLIUM-COATED TORUS: The torus surrounding the dome is composed of beryllium-coated semicrystalline polymer. By applying the beryllium coating through Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD), we increased the stiffness and durability of the driver, while still keeping it light enough to achieve a fast transient response. These qualities are also enhanced through the grooves on the torus, which are precisely positioned at a 45.5° angle. Beryllium’s high damping qualities also help suppress unwanted resonances, giving STRADA its vivid and transparent character.

STABILIZED: The copper-zinc alloy stabilizer, positioned around the membrane, improves the absorption of vibrations to further reduce distortion

The ear cups are adorned in Macassar ebony – a heavy, dense, and aesthetically pleasing hardwood known for its deep, rich brown coloration punctuated by intricate golden-brown stripes.

By combining the precision-crafted frame of the LIRIC with a new dynamic driver system, the Meze STRADA benefits from reduced weight. This translates into longer and more enjoyable listening sessions.

Crafted with precision and refined to move with fluid ease, Strada’s adjustment rods let you fine-tune the fit with smooth, controlled movement, free of clicks or sudden steps. This intuitive adjustability helps you achieve a secure, balanced fit that remains comfortable throughout every listening session.

Meze's passion for design and well-made objects is reflected in the color chosen for the magnesium frame: a deep, refined shade of green with metallic particles that shimmer subtly as they catch the light. Modern technology is no substitute for human meticulousness and soul, which is why each chassis is hand-painted by Meze's in-house artisans. Four carefully applied layers of paint are needed to achieve the STRADA’s rich texture and depth.

From their resilient frame to the removable components, every part of the STRADA was crafted with long-term ownership in mind. By combining premium materials with a modular design, Meze has made it easy to repair or refresh, ensuring they stay in top form for years to come. This is Meze's way of honoring the past, investing in the future, and building something you’ll want to pass down, not throw away.
