Meze Audio Poet Headphone

POET

AUDIBLE EMOTION

Featuring the top-of-the-line diaphragm technology found in our ELITE model, POET is a compact planar-magnetic open-back headphone that excels on all fronts.

POET caresses your audio palate with lush, airy vocals and precise bass impact for a balanced low-end, its natural tonality delicately enhanced by subtle hints of sparkle.

Experience a state-of-the-art design that envelops you in comfort, complete with detachable magnetic ear pads and one of our premium hand-braided copper cables.

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

POET is a symbol of our dedication to crafting and refining headphones to perfection. It features a blend of high-performance materials that elevates both form and function and includes the top-of-the-line diaphragm technology used in ELITE.

The result: a compact planar-magnetic open-back headphone 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.

OVER THIRTY YEARS OF AUDIO INNOVATION

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.

AWARD-WINNING TECHNOLOGY

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.

[MZ6] CASING

Reinforced polymer housing designed to withstand the demanding 10,7 N load generated by the Hybrid Magnet Array.

[MZ6] PARUS DIAPHRAGM

A biaxially oriented, semi-crystalline polymer film with a remarkably low weight of 0.06 g and an expansive active area of 3507 mm².

[MZ6] HYBRID MAGNET ARRAY

Symmetrically placed on either side of the diaphragm, our neodymium magnets are arranged into a Hybrid Array to create a 0.3 Tesla Isodynamic magnetic field required for a uniform activation across the whole diaphragm surface.

MZ6 ISODYNAMIC HYBRID ARRAY DRIVER

Created by RINARO exclusively for Meze Audio, the MZ6 driver is a celebration of more than 8 years of extensive R&D. It is one of the most advanced and lightweight full-size planar magnetic drivers available to date.

ULTRA LOW DISTORTION

Total harmonic distortion (THD) measures under 0.05% in the whole frequency range.

LIGHTWEIGHT

73 g (2.5 oz.) total driver weight designed to create a headphone that offers comfortable prolonged listening sessions in a compact form factor.

ULTRA HIGH-RESOLUTION AUDIO

Upper frequency limit of audio reproduction is 96 kHz.

SCALED FLAGSHIP ISODYNAMIC HYBRID ARRAY TECHNOLOGY

One of the most sophisticated and advanced planar magnetic technologies in the world has been scaled down for a compact form factor. 

Patented in US, EU, China and other countries.

ADVANTAGES OF A DUAL-DRIVEN VOICE COIL SYSTEM

The Isodynamic® Hybrid Array optimizes sound intensity distribution, particularly at frequencies above 10 kHz, leading to significantly enhanced spatial imaging and precise localization within the reproduced sound field.

SWITCHBACK COIL

Positioned in the upper section of the driver, the switchback coil is optimized for the efficient reproduction of lower frequencies, delivering a robust bass response.

SPIRAL COIL

The spiral coil, placed directly over the ear canal, excels at reproducing mid-to-high frequencies. This positioning enables direct transmission of sound waves into the ear, minimizing time delays and enhancing clarity.

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.
