Meze Elite Tungsten

Meze's flagship planar magnetic headphone and one of the most critically acclaimed headphones in the world, the Elite represents a decade of acoustic research and a deep commitment to the belief that engineering and artistry are not mutually exclusive.

Type & Technology

Over-ear, open-back, planar magnetic. Rinaro Isoplanar driver with a dual-section isodynamic hybrid array, a driver architecture unique to Meze and Rinaro that combines two distinct diaphragm regions for improved mid and high frequency control. Tungsten finish. Handcrafted in Romania.

Sound Character

Exceptionally balanced, refined, and musical. The Elite delivers a presentation that is technically world-class without ever feeling analytical or fatiguing. Bass is deep and controlled, midrange is natural and present, treble is extended and airy, and the soundstage is wide and three-dimensional. It is one of the most emotionally engaging headphones at its price tier.

Build & Comfort

Aerospace-grade CNC-machined magnesium and aluminum frame with premium leather earpads and a carefully engineered headband. At 430g the Elite distributes its weight well and is comfortable for long sessions. The Tungsten finish is a sophisticated matte grey that distinguishes it from the original copper version.

Discerning audiophiles seeking a flagship planar that combines technical excellence with a musically engaging character, particularly rewarding for long listening sessions across all genres.
