Meze The White Elite LE Highend Headphones

Antonio Meze on The White Elite:

'Our inspiration finds expression in many forms, so it was only a matter of time before we refreshed our brand image with a brighter color palette. As you may have noticed on our new website, we chose light, natural colors to symbolize spiritual growth and mindfulness. The White Empyrean, created in collaboration with Headphone.Shop, represents this message as our first limited edition. This exclusive series will be available in limited quantities exclusively at headphone.shop, our official distribution partner in Germany.'

Now also in white: The Meze Elite

The partnership between Meze Audio and Rinaro Isodynamics continues with the launch of the new MEZE ELITE Isodynamic Hybrid Array headphones. ELITE sets new standards in the high-end headphone segment by combining Meze Audio's outstanding mechanical design and ergonomics with Rinaro's unique technology and acoustic know-how.

ELITE delivers a precise, realistic listening experience that exceeds the highest standards of discerning audiophiles by combining elite aesthetics with cutting-edge engineering. Meze Audio has created an unparalleled headset that delivers a genuine feel and uncompromising philosophy through revolutionary design and technology, inspired by the love of art and sound.

Maximum durability and stunning design

The materials were chosen not only for their exciting feel, but also for their comfort and durability. A carbon fiber headband with a genuine leather headrest provides an ultra-lightweight feel, while the jet black grille with detailed carvings gives the Elite its striking look.

Made to last

Meze Audio's philosophy is to create products that will outlast changes in the industry and provide customers with long-term value. The Elite is no exception. From its design to its technology, this headphone is built to outlast all fashion trends and become a true treasure. The Elite is fully serviceable, taking long-term sustainability to a new level: from the replacement ear pads to the high-performance materials used, every aspect of the headphone can be easily disassembled and serviced.

World-class drivers with exceptional time commitment

Each driver unit manufactured at Rinaro Isodynamics in Ukraine goes through a development and testing process lasting more than 100 hours before being delivered to Meze Audio for final assembly.

Two different ear pads for optimal comfort and sound quality

The Isomagnetic® ear pad attachment, an innovative design by Rinaro, uses the demagnetizing field of the driver to hold the ear pad in place while directing the magnetic field back into the driver, improving the driver's efficiency. The Meze ELITE headphones come with two differently shaped ear pads that allow for specific calibration of the sound signature:

• ALCANTARA®: Originally developed for the Empyrean headphones in 2018, the Alcantara ear pad is 30 mm deep.
• HYBRID (perforated Alcantara® interior + genuine leather exterior): The 25 mm deep leather and Alcantara ear pad, specially developed by Rinaro for the ELITE, combines the best of both materials.
