Experience audible emotion with Meze POET, a new high-performance audiophile headphone. Featuring the top-of-the-line diaphragm technology found in the Meze Elite, POET is a compact planar-magnetic open-back headphone that excels on all fronts. A JOURNEY THROUGH INNER WORLDS At its core, life is a journey of constant transformation. We navigate its peaks and valleys, either looking for purpose or being driven by it. Some events may seem perplexing, noisy. However, there are those that possess an unexplainable, ethereal quality that makes you feel complete. Like a dream. Like poetry. MUSIC SANCTUARY POET caresses your audio palate with lush, airy vocals and precise bass impact for a balanced low-end. Its natural tonality is delicately enhanced by subtle hints of sparkle, adding a lively character. Excellent detail retrieval and separation bring your music to life, making POET a harmonious blend of technical finesse and emotive expression. STATE-OF-THE-ART DESIGN IN A COMPACT FRAME A symbol of our dedication to crafting and refining headphones to perfection, POET features a blend of high-performance materials that synergize to elevate both form and function. A testament to this is the inclusion of top-of-the-line diaphragm technology featured in our ELITE model. The result: a compact planar-magnetic open-back pair of headphones that excels on all fronts. HIGH-QUALITY MATERIALS, ENVELOPING COMFORT The intricate patterns featured in the steel grille were carefully selected to elevate the fine audio tuning that we were aiming for. Combined with the magnesium chassis, POET is visually striking and highly durable. The soft suede leather headrest and flexible titanium alloy headband promote exceptional ergonomics, distributing weight evenly for a snug fit that envelops you in comfort, making every listening session a delight. MAGNETIC EAR PADS To make your serviceability and pad-swapping experience as easy and accessible as it can be, we’ve integrated the magnetic ear pad system from our 2nd Generation LIRIC into POET as well. PREMIUM CABLE INCLUDED A luxurious pair of high-end open-back headphones is never complete without the right cable. That’s why our premium hand-braided copper cable is included with your POET headphones, featuring a 6.3 mm termination to ensure the widest compatibility with desktop setups. RINARO INNOVATIVE DRIVER RINARO ISODYNAMICS has been at the forefront of planar magnetic technology for over 30 years. With a state-of-the-art R&D and manufacturing facility in Ukraine, RINARO developed the Isodynamic® Hybrid Array technology, featured in the EMPYREAN, ELITE, LIRIC, and POET headphones. POET features the RINARO MZ6 Isodynamic® Hybrid Array driver—a synthesis of the MZ4 and the MZ3SE drivers featured in the award-winning LIRIC and ELITE headphones. This new design aims to deliver a compact yet high-performance experience akin to the ELITE series. Each MZ6 driver is meticulously hand-assembled and tested at RINARO’s industrial facility in Ukraine, ensuring exceptional quality and precision. AMTS Our implementation of the Acoustic Metamaterial Tuning System technology relies on a precision-crafted metal component that strategically covers select openings in the driver frame, to effectively attenuate high-frequency peaks for a less fatiguing listening experience.*POET includes AMTS technology licensed from Dan Clark Audio. DESIGNED FOR LIFE Originating from a sense of responsibility towards the environment and a desire to enhance your experience for as long as possible, we’ve designed the POET to be fully serviceable: from the replaceable earpads to the high-performance materials used, every part of the headphone chassis can be easily disassembled and serviced.
