POET

MEDIA REVIEWS

When Meze Audio says the POET have “lush, airy vocals and precise bass impact, balancing low-end depth with delicate high-frequency clarity” they’re not joking.

The new Meze Audio Alba IEM, will be the single most impactful item within its category, of all the products I'm aware of item in this entire video. It's extremely affordable, and its performance for the price is out of this world.

The Meze POET immediately stands out with its sleek and intricate design, it's a notable addition to Meze’s lineup, offering a sharper, more analytical sound compared to their traditionally warm offerings.

The Meze Audio POET is a beautifully designed set of open-back headphones, complete with the company’s trademark penchant for excellent comfort.

The Meze Poet offers a compelling mix of artistic design, advanced technology, and quality sound that is hard to beat. Whether for enjoying everyday playlists or exploring complex sonic landscapes, the Poet promises an enriching journey for all who wear them.

Meze Audio has been releasing a banger after banger for the past few years. [...]
The Poet continues on that trend. It’s very well-built, looks absolutely beautiful, and sounds like a mix of classic Meze with the technicalities of more expensive models.

These were made for the love of music, for the music lover in you.

The Meze Audio POET is a very lively and energetic, compact sounding headphone with a musical and exciting presentation. It’s more about musical enjoyment, impact and easygoingness than it is about technicalities, extension and the ultimate detail.

With every product it launches, Meze Audio closes the gaps in its model range until not even the light can get in. I’ll admit I assumed the POET would simply be a version of the closed-back Liric 2 designed for solitary listening – but there’s a bit more to this pair of headphones than that.

For those who experience music as art and want to hear every last detail, the POET offers a great experience at a significantly more affordable price than previous Meze Audio models.

For audiophiles seeking reference-quality sound in a more versatile physical package, the POET headphones merit serious consideration.

The Meze Audio Poet headphones are a statement—not just of luxury, but of what’s possible when craftsmanship and engineering are equally prioritized. At $2,000, this isn’t a casual purchase, but for those who live for audio perfection, it’s a worthwhile investment.

The POET's design language aligns with Meze Audio's signature aesthetic This visual detail underscores Meze's commitment to merging art with functionality, and it is clear that the POET is intended to make a statement both sonically and visually.

The POET is designed for long listening sessions, whether you’re lost in an album or fine-tuning a mix.

Imaging is superb, and so is layering. [...] I had never known that there was a background singer in Phil Collins’ 1981 song “In The Air Tonight”. What a discovery over 40 years later.

While I’ve only spent a few days with the POET, it’s been a whirlwind romance. There are headphones you can’t stop thinking about and headphones you can’t stop thinking of—and the POET is the latter type.

The POET is easy like Sunday morning. They're the pair of headphones you wear as you slowly fall into the cushions of your favorite seat with an accompanying beverage in hand. The Meze Audio POET is full of life, emotion, and raw vocals.

Put most simply, Poet applies a classic leading lady's soft focus to closeups. It's deliberately prettifying. As a famous actress put it, they go to bed with the movie star, they wake up to me." Makeup and a bit of distance can do wonders.

Another excellent work from a brand that knows how to do things right.

The 105 AER carves out a niche as a versatile, everyday companion that delivers an engaging and fatigue-free listening experience– something that can be a great product for almost everyone.
