Meze Audio Elite Headphones - Over/On Ear Selling Meze Elite headphones with three sets of ear pads (hybrid, alcantara and angles alcantara) and meze upgrade cable. Receipt available. Purchased in September 2023 from an authorised retailer in NSW. it also comes with its stock cable and case. Condition: Great Payment Method: Paypal, eft, cash on pickup Region/State: (NSW) New South Wales/Australia By Akita 0 Comments AUD $5,000 Date: June 12, 20241 yr
At A$5,000, this sits above the A$4,001 median and even above the A$5,342 75th percentile for the recent AUD comps, so it reads as slightly ambitious rather than a standout bargain. It’s not wildly off if the set is clean and complete, but you’d want better-than-average condition or extras to fully justify the ask.
That said, this is a genuinely respected planar flagship: the Elite is prized for its resolving power, open staging, fast bass, and low-fatigue detail, so a well-kept pair can be a very satisfying long-term buy. The upside is strongest if it’s original-owner, lightly used, and includes the case, cables, and both pad sets; at this level, condition and completeness matter more than chasing a discount.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Meze Audio traces its roots to 2011, when Romanian industrial designer Antonio Meze founded the company in the northern city of Baia Mare. Born from his passion for music and innovative design, Meze initially launched under the name Meze Headphones before evolving into Meze Audio. This heritage reflects a blend of Eastern European craftsmanship and a drive to elevate personal audio beyond conventional boundaries.
The brand specializes exclusively in headphones and earphones, eschewing amplifiers, speakers, or other hi-fi categories. Iconic models like the Empyrean, developed in collaboration with Ukrainian engineers at Rinaro for advanced planar magnetic drivers, exemplify their focus on planar and dynamic designs. Standouts such as the 99 Classics, 109 Pro, and more accessible options like the 105 AER deliver signature bass authority, spacious soundstaging, and meticulous tuning tailored for discerning listeners.
Meze Audio commands a strong position in the high-end headphone market as a niche boutique leader, prized by audiophiles for striking industrial aesthetics and reference-grade performance. Their products have garnered design awards, rave reviews from major publications, and a global following through word-of-mouth and retail channels, positioning them as a force that challenges premium pricing norms with unwavering quality.
