The Strada makes for an excellent audio experience for the casual listener
Those in the market for a pair of over-ear, closed-back dynamic headphones are in luck. Meze Audio, the luxury Romanian brand known for its timeless design and velvety smooth sound, just launched the Strada, an impressive pair of wired headphones designed for intimate and balanced listening.
As one would expect from Meze, the Strada is well-built and comfortable, with a solid foundation. It borrows the driver design from the 109 Pro and bits and pieces from the Liric 2, such as the Macassar ebony ear cups, paired with a hand-painted metallic green frame. To complete the set, there’s a padded headband as well as magnetically detachable ear pads in black leather, and dual-twisted Kevlar-wrapped cables with 3.5mm and 4.4mm terminations.

At just 330 grams, the Strada barely weighs you down, and with the ability to cup the ears without clamping down too tight, listening fatigue will no longer be a thing. After all, an excellent acoustic experience is what will keep you hooked, as long as you’re happy with a strong treble and mid-range presence. Great for gamers and anyone else looking for casual music enjoyment, the Strada is definitely a go-to, being one of the best closed-back dynamic headphones Meze Audio has to offer to date.
