Meze Audio - Elite

My favorite headphones are the meze elite, and they share a lot of similarities to the 105 aer as said in another comment. Other headphones I tend to enjoy on the daily are hd560s, hd6xx, dt1990 and the he1000 stealth. Although as I said, the 105 aer tends to be my daily pick. They sound amazing and are very comfortable! Edit: forgot about music. It depends somewhat on the headphone. The meze elite is very fun with movie scores and big symphonies, but on the daily i listen to anything from ásgeir to some Ren. 105 aer works for it all.

Agreed! I have a pair of 105 aer and a pair of meze elite. While they are obviously in different leagues, they are very fun to A/B due to their very similar characteristics

Well done! They are by far the best sounding headphones out there in my opinion. I find it quite fun to swap between 105 AER and Elite during listening sessions. It really highlights just how great the elites are (and also how well the 105 AERs keep up)

Congratulations! Meze Elites are one of my favorite headphones I've tried, and easily the most comfortable and easy to listen to.

Yes, it's Elite with tunsten finish.

100% agree look, feel and sound are matched to the price I paid :) Super happy with Elite

It really depends on what you are looking for from the headphone. If you are looking for the world best detail retrieved sound or highest resolution of all time, this is not the headphone that worth your money. Something like hifiman susvra or Stax X9000 would be the one worth the money. To me those headphones are just too bright and i will not pay for what they coast. I do not like upper mid!low hight to be emphasized. To my ear they are overpriced headphone that sounds cold and shouty. (Dont get me wrong they are for sure amazing headphone it just not my preference) Same logic applies to Elite. To ppl who look for resolution detail retrieval, elite is over priced dull sounding headphones. To me Elite is silky smooth and refined headphone that i can listen hours nonstop and still holds the great details and balance. So yes I can justify the price I paid for the sound I am getting. one thing for sure they look feel and comfortability is the best I've ever experienced. Including susvara and other totl headphones in this price range.

I've got the Caldera Closed for use at work in-office and they're great for that. Best closed cans I've heard. For open though, I'd have to go with the Meze Elite.

It was the Meze Elite for me, I went through 50+ great headphones and they lasted till the very end. Ended up switching to IEMs though and I think the Spectrumica will be my new Elite

Meze Elites. I use them less than you think, but every time I put them on its magic in my ears

Meze Elite Sennheiser HD 800S Dan Clark Audio Stealth Meze Empyrean (1st Gen) Tough call. Probably between the Elite and HD 800S. But then I lose the ability to listen in a less than quiet environment by removing the Stealth. I don't know...
