Meze Audio STRADA Closed-Back Dynamic Headphones

A closed-back design focused on tonal balance, with magnesium and zinc frame, Macassar ebony and leather ear cups, and a stunning, hand-painted metallic green finish

Meet the STRADA: a pair of closed-back dynamic headphones created for listeners who value balance, texture, and emotional immediacy as much as technical precision. STRADA presents music with a full-bodied sound that draws you in without exaggeration, delivering clarity and nuance while preserving a relaxed, organic character.

At the heart of STRADA is a 50 mm dynamic driver built around a bio-cellulose composite dome with a beryllium-coated torus. This carefully tuned driver architecture provides speed and control alongside tonal richness, allowing fine detail and dynamic shading to emerge without sounding etched or fatiguing. The closed-back construction offers excellent noise isolation while maintaining a convincing sense of space and depth.

Materials and ergonomics are treated with equal seriousness. The chassis combines magnesium and zinc with Macassar ebony wood and leather, resulting in a structure that is both acoustically inert and visually distinctive. Each pair is hand-painted in-house in a deep green finish infused with subtle metallic particles, giving STRADA a refined presence that avoids flashiness. A world-class ergonomic design, paired with a magnetic ear-pad mounting system, ensures long-term comfort and straightforward maintenance.

Design and Features

STRADA is designed to be portable and easy to drive, making it equally at home on a desktop system or paired with a high-quality portable source. Two dual-twisted, Kevlar-wrapped OFC cables are included, terminated in 3.5 mm and 4.4 mm connections for broad system compatibility. Every component is fully serviceable, reinforcing STRADA’s long-term value and sustainability.

From its balanced sound signature to its thoughtful construction, STRADA is built as a lifelong listening instrument—one that prioritizes musical connection, comfort, and enduring craftsmanship.
