STRADA

The Strada's build quality is second to none. It's eye catching, sturdy, and comfortable. They have great clarity for a closed back headphone and bass is powerful yet controlled. They've elevated my listening experience ever since I got them. I'd love to see other colors too for those who aren't as keen on the green.

Good sound and price high quality and build and easily replaceable parts

First things first, this is the most gorgeous product design I've ever seen - in headphones or anywhere. Sexy, luxurious and extremely comfortable.
The sound is pristine (I find myself having to pump up the bass the tiniest bit, but that is a matter of personal taste... I'm a bass player) and they can be worn for hours without fatigue. To be honest, they are slightly bulkier than they look, so I don't know how 'portable' they are if you are going to be wearing them while running around the city - but on the other hand, they do have great isolation. All in all, I'm very much in love with them.

The Meze Strada is easily the best Meze headphone I’ve owned, and I’ve had the Noire, the Classic 99, and the Liric 1. This one finally feels like the “grown‑up” version of Meze’s house sound: mature, balanced, and refined, but still fun in all the right ways.

It avoids every flaw the earlier models struggled with. It’s not veiled or dark like the Classic or Noire, and it doesn’t have the sharp treble peaks of the first Liric. Instead, the Strada lands in a sweet spot: accurate enough to trust, but with its own identity. The bass has a tasteful lift, the presentation has a touch of air, and the whole tuning feels intentional rather than exaggerated.

Comfort is on another level. This is genuinely the most comfortable headphone I’ve ever used light, perfectly padded, and effortless to wear for hours.

And the best part? Anything can drive it. I’ve sold my dac and amps because I don't need it, an Apple dongle can drive it without losing dynamics or clarity. It’s one of the easiest, most forgiving headphones I’ve ever paired.

Meze finally nailed it with the Strada. It’s the one I’m keeping.

The Strada’s are well built (metal material)but lack generous extension to fit larger heads (7 1/2 hat size). The sound quality is on par with the entry level model. I don’t hear any energy around tuning (sounds flat). Note: My source is a Cayin N3 Pro. I’ll have to see how it scales up (using a Hafler headphone amp).
