Meze Audio STRADA headphones: A new path to musical intimacy...

Hand-crafted closed-back headphones pair advanced technology with exquisite Macassar ebony earcups and deep metallic green frame Baia Mare, Romania. Romanian manufacturer Meze Audio, renowned for its timeless craftsmanship and emotionally engaging sound, proudly introduces the STRADA, a new benchmark in closed-back dynamic headphones that blends tonal precision with immersive musical intimacy. Engineered for those who seek a full-bodied, enveloping sound paired with premium craftsmanship, STRADA offers a harmonious acoustic experience where detail, texture, and dynamics come alive with effortlessness and emotional impact. With excellent noise isolation, natural spatial rendering, and a carefully tuned driver system, STRADA creates a private sonic space, perfect for long listening sessions at home or on the go. IMPACTFUL AND CLEAR SOUND STRADA's acoustic profile embodies balance, control, and precision. Deep, defined low end: A slight bass lift adds punch and body without bloating or masking detail. Neutral, transparent midrange: Instruments and vocals shine with lifelike timbre and clean separation. Smooth, detailed treble: Extended highs reveal subtle textures and spatial cues while maintaining a fatigue-free presentation. The result is an articulate, emotionally engaging sound signature built for both casual enjoyment and critical listening. CLOSED-BACK BLISS IN A REFINED CHASSIS Inspired by the chassis of the acclaimed LIRIC series, STRADA introduces a reimagined build optimized for dynamic driver performance. Each pair is hand- assembled from premium materials and shaped for an adaptable, natural fit. Lightweight, versatile, and exceptionally comfortable, STRADA is designed for hours of uninterrupted listening. AN ADVANCED DRIVER AT ITS CORE At the heart of STRADA lies a dynamic driver first introduced in the 109 PRO, newly tuned for closed-back performance. Every component was engineered to optimize clarity, speed, and durability. Crafted from a carbon fibre-reinforced cellulose composite, the dome delivers high-frequency detail with remarkable clarity and minimal distortion. The surrounding torus is formed from a semicrystalline polymer coated with beryllium via Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD). This enhances stiffness, durability, and transient response, while precision-cut 45.5° grooves further refine control. A copper-zinc alloy stabilizer encircles the membrane, absorbing micro-vibrations to significantly reduce distortion. FEATURES & CRAFTSMANSHIP Magnetic ear pads: A seamless magnetic mounting system allows effortless pad swapping while maintaining the perfect seal. Exotic Macassar ebony ear cups: The dense, visually striking hardwood features deep brown tones enhanced by golden-brown striations, making each pair visually unique. Lightweight, long-wear comfort: A precision-crafted frame and dynamic driver system help reduce overall weight, ensuring fatigue-free listening. Soft-padded headband: Cushions arranged in a symmetrical cross pattern distribute pressure evenly, maintain airflow, and reduce heat buildup during extended sessions. A modern, natural sheen: The magnesium frame is hand-painted in a refined deep green with subtle metallic shimmer. Four carefully applied layers create a finish that expresses both modern design and human artistry.   BUILT FOR GENERATIONS STRADA was designed not only to be cherished today, but also decades from now. Its fully serviceable construction, premium materials and components reflect our commitment to sustainability through longevity.   TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS Driver Type Dynamic Driver Size 50 mm Frequency Range 5 Hz - 30 kHz Impedance 40 Ω Sensitivity 111 dB SPL/mW at 1 kHz Input Connector Dual 3.5 mm TS Jack Cables/Connectors Supplied 1.8m Kevlar OFC 3.5mm jack; 1.8m Kevlar OFC 4.4mm jack; 6.3mm jack adaptor.
