About Meze Audio
Meze Audio is a Romanian high-end audio company founded by Antonio Meze in 2011. The company has earned significant recognition in the audiophile community for creating premium headphones that combine striking aesthetic design with exceptional sound quality. They particularly stand out for their use of natural materials like wood and leather in their products.
The company's breakthrough came with the release of the Meze 99 Classics in 2015, which garnered widespread acclaim for offering high-quality sound at a relatively accessible price point. These headphones feature wooden earcups, a self-adjusting headband, and a warm, engaging sound signature that has become somewhat of a hallmark for the brand.
However, Meze Audio truly cemented its position in the ultra-high-end segment with the introduction of the Empyrean headphones in 2018, developed in collaboration with Rinaro Isodynamics. These planar magnetic headphones feature an innovative driver design and showcase the company's commitment to pushing technical boundaries while maintaining their distinctive aesthetic approach.
The company continues to operate from Baia Mare, Romania, where they maintain a focus on artisanal craftsmanship alongside technical innovation. Their product line has expanded to include both entry-level and flagship models, though they consistently maintain their philosophy of combining premium materials with meticulous attention to both sound quality and design.
