Meze Audio POET headphones
POET pampers your ears with lush and expressive vocal reproduction. Accurate and balanced low-end reproduction makes music pulse naturally. POET's timbre is subtly enlivened with subtle shimmering nuances that give it an impressive character. Excellent detail resolution brings music to life, making POET a harmonious combination of technical sophistication and emotional expression.
Authentic Meze Audio
The intricate patterns of the steel grille were carefully chosen to highlight the exquisite sound we strive for. Combined with the magnesium chassis, POET is visually striking and highly durable. The soft suede headband and flexible titanium alloy headband promote exceptional ergonomics and distribute weight evenly, ensuring a comfortable fit and a satisfying listening experience.
To make maintenance as easy as possible, we have also integrated the magnetic ear cushion system from LIRIC’s second generation into POET. With a sense of responsibility for the environment and a desire to improve your listening experience for as long as possible, we have designed POET to be fully serviceable: from the ear cushions to the headphone body, every part can be easily disassembled and serviced. This makes POET a safe investment for years of headphone listening pleasure.
A luxurious pair of high-quality open headphones is never complete without the right cable. That's why the POET headphones come with a premium hand-braided copper cable with a 6.3mm connector, ensuring the widest possible compatibility with typical home hi-fi equipment. A wide range of cables with other traditional connectors, including balanced, are also available separately.
MZ6 - isodynamic hybrid element
The POET features the RINARO MZ6 Isodynamic® Hybrid Array driver, a synthesis of the MZ4 and MZ3SE drivers used in the award-winning LIRIC and ELITE headphones. The new design aims to deliver the same compact yet high-performance experience as the ELITE series. Each MZ6 driver is meticulously hand-assembled and tested at RINARO’s industrial facility in Ukraine, ensuring exceptional quality and precision.
The diaphragm weighs only 0.06 g and forms a large active surface (3507 mm2). The upper frequency limit is 96,000 Hz, so the headphones are capable of exceptional purity at frequencies that humans cannot directly hear, but which have a multiplier effect on lower frequencies and the perceived sense of space.
Long-term product development
Symbolic of our dedication to craftsmanship and refining our headphones to the point of perfection, POET is a blend of high-quality materials that work together to enhance both appearance, comfort and performance. This is evidenced by the state-of-the-art Rinaro diaphragm technology borrowed from our flagship ELITE model. The result is a compact planar magnetic headphone that excels on all fronts.
Rinaro was born in the Soviet Union (now Ukraine) during the Cold War as part of a state-funded research program into acoustic technology. With government support and advanced testing facilities, the team was able to focus all their efforts on planar magnetism. This is an area in which they have continued to innovate for the past 30 years since the collapse of the Soviet Union. Over the past decade, Rinaro has expanded its capabilities and capacity by developing state-of-the-art R&D and manufacturing facilities in Ukraine and Poland.
“We knew from the very beginning of the POET design that we wanted to create something unique - a compact planar magnetic open-back headphone that would be as powerful as our flagship model. In collaboration with our friends at RINARO ISODYNAMICS, we synthesized the core of the ELITE driver technology and gave it a new lease of life. I believe that POET became more than just a headphone; it is a testament to a huge step forward in our team’s development and a testament to how far we have come.” - Alex Grigoras, Acoustic Engineer
