The Meze Audio ARTA Open-Back Circumaural Headphones are Meze's new flagship reference headphones, developed in collaboration with Rinaro Isodynamics to deliver an exceptionally natural and immersive listening experience. At their core is the groundbreaking Rinaro MZ5 HΩ High Impedance Isodynamic® Hybrid Array driver—the world's highest-impedance planar magnetic headphone driver—engineered for outstanding signal purity, stability, and remarkably low distortion.
With a warm-neutral tuning and expansive, speaker-like soundstage, the ARTA reproduces music with exceptional realism, allowing instruments and vocals to exist naturally in space while delivering deep, controlled bass and remarkable detail. The open-back design features angled acoustic blades that diffuse rear-wave energy, reducing reflections for cleaner transients and a more open, lifelike presentation.
Designed for dedicated desktop DAC and headphone amplifier systems, the 225-ohm impedance is optimized for high-performance audio setups, revealing the full potential of high-resolution recordings. Magnetic ear pad coupling allows you to tailor the sound using the included Duo Angled lambskin/Alcantara® or Slim Alcantara ear pads.
Crafted from precision-machined metal, carbon fiber, and premium leather, the Meze ARTA combines elegant Art Nouveau-inspired styling with exceptional comfort for extended listening sessions. Hand-assembled in Baia Mare, Romania, each pair includes two premium silver-plated LC-OFC cables—one 6.3 mm single-ended and one balanced 4-pin XLR—for seamless integration into reference headphone systems.
Positioned above the acclaimed Meze Elite, the ARTA establishes a new benchmark for flagship planar magnetic headphones, combining innovative engineering, premium craftsmanship, and a truly speaker-like listening experience for discerning audiophiles.
