Meze Arta Hi-Fi Headphones, Over-Ear

A truly special object, created to redefine top-tier listening. Bold, fluid design, with realism and immersion that feel better than they can be described. With a high-impedance planar-magnetic driver developed by Rinaro Isodynamics, the ARTA sounds full, like a high-fidelity speaker system, with a level of detail that brings the music to life. The most immersive experience Meze has ever created.

• Sound signature: warm-neutral
• Uses the planar-magnetic driver with the highest electrical impedance*, for exceptional linearity and signal stability and purity like nothing before
• Cleaner transients and a more open presentation, thanks to a grille of angled acoustic blades that reduce internal reflections of the sound waves
• Design that blends futuristic, bionic fluidity with the refined elegance of the Art Nouveau style
• Comfort for all head shapes, with extra padding on the leather headband
• Magnetic ear pad attachment system
• Two pairs of ear pads included, each with a distinct listening experience
• Designed and hand-assembled in Baia Mare, Romania, built to last generations, fully repairable, with a timeless design

*Requires powerful amplification (high-voltage sources) for the best listening experience.
