YOUR OWN SPACE WITHIN THE MUSIC

Meet the STRADA - a pair of closed-back dynamic headphones crafted for tonal balance and musical intimacy. With its full-bodied sound, excellent noise isolation, and natural sense of space, the STRADA delivers a harmonious acoustic experience where detail, texture, and dynamics come through with effortless precision.

IMPACTFUL AND CLEAR SOUND

A balanced tuning with a focus on control and precision.

The low end is tight and well-defined, with a slight bass emphasis that adds punch and body. The midrange remains neutral and transparent, preserving natural timbre and separation across instruments and vocals. The treble extends with subtle energy in the upper region, revealing fine textures and spatial cues while maintaining a smooth overall presentation.

CLOSED-BACK BLISS

STRADA inherits its design from our acclaimed LIRIC chassis, reimagined around a dynamic driver architecture. Hand-built from premium materials and shaped for a natural, adaptable fit, its lightweight closed-back construction distributes pressure evenly across the head and ears, delivering a thoughtful harmony of a consistent seal, isolation, and long-wear comfort in a more versatile form.

AN ADVANCED DRIVER AT ITS CORE

At the STRADA’s core is the dynamic driver first introduced in the 109 PRO, tuned to perform within a closed-back chamber. We kept the driver’s natural character fully intact while refining its behavior to meet the acoustic demands of a sealed environment.

W-SHAPED DOME

Made of a carbon fiber-reinforced cellulose composite, the dome can reproduce high frequencies with remarkable detail, clarity, and definition. More durable than conventional alternatives used in dynamic drivers, yet lightweight, this composite helps reduce resonances that may lead to harmonic distortion.

BERYLLIUM-COATED TORUS

The torus surrounding the dome is composed of beryllium-coated semicrystalline polymer. By applying the beryllium coating through Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD), we increased the stiffness and durability of the driver, while still keeping it light enough to achieve a fast transient response. These qualities are also enhanced through the grooves on the torus, which are precisely positioned at a 45.5° angle.

Beryllium’s high damping qualities also help suppress unwanted resonances, giving STRADA its vivid and transparent character.

STABILIZED

The copper-zinc alloy stabilizer, positioned around the membrane, improves the absorption of vibrations to further reduce distortion.

FEATURES & CRAFTSMANSHIP

COMFORT THAT INVITES YOU IN

Designed for long listening sessions, STRADA brings together gentle clamping force, deep memory-foam ear pads, and the proven ergonomics of our award-winning LIRIC design. The soft PU leather contact surface of the ear pads provides a reliable acoustic seal, while the Alcantara-lined inner chamber helps manage heat and moisture buildup inside the ear cup, reducing fatigue during extended wear.

SMOOTH ADJUSTMENT RODS

Crafted with precision and refined to move with fluid ease, STRADA’s adjustment rods let you fine-tune the fit with smooth, controlled movement, free of clicks or sudden steps.

MAGNETIC EAR PADS

The STRADA benefits from our seamless magnetic ear pad mounting system, enhancing serviceability and providing an easier, more accessible pad-swapping experience without compromising proper sealing.

EXOTIC WOOD CHOICE

The ear cups are adorned in Macassar ebony – a heavy, dense, and aesthetically pleasing hardwood known for its deep, rich brown coloration punctuated by intricate golden-brown stripes.

SOFT-PADDED HEADBAND

The headband cushions are arranged around a symmetrical cross pattern, thus distributing pressure evenly across the head. This design provides a consistent clamping force and maintains airflow, reducing heat and humidity during periods of extended listening.

HAND-PAINTED IN-HOUSE

Modern technology is no substitute for human meticulousness and soul, which is why each chassis is hand-painted by our in-house artisans. Four carefully applied layers of paint are needed to achieve the STRADA’s rich texture and depth.

NATURALLY MODERN SHEEN

Our passion for design and well-made objects is reflected in the color chosen for the magnesium frame: a deep, refined shade of green with metallic particles that shimmer subtly as they catch the light.

BUILT TO LAST GENERATIONS

From their resilient frame to the removable components, every part of the STRADA was crafted with long-term ownership in mind. By combining premium materials with a modular design, we've made it easy to repair or refresh, ensuring they stay in top form for years to come. This is our way of honoring the past, investing in the future, and building something you’ll want to pass down, not throw away.

MEDIA REVIEWS

Overall, the Meze Strada delivers a sound signature that feels mature, confident, and technically accomplished. It’s a clear step up from the 99 Classics V2, offering more space, better control, and higher resolution, while staying true to Meze’s musical DNA.

Strada is remarkably open and clean sounding for a closed-back headphone, with strong separation and spatial characteristics. The overall tuning is well-balanced with a largely neutral delivery of mids and treble, and a low-end that emphasizes the subbass over midbass. The end result is a headphone with a really impressive soundstage, and a natural, lifelike overall sound.

I was immediately hit with bright treble and forward vocals. Singers were right in front of me, and the instruments filtered around them. The soundstage was wider than I anticipated for a closed-back headphone, and it wrapped around the head pretty well to create an immersive experience

If nothing else, I don't think there's a better looking pair of headphones out there – these win my vote on vanity alone! -

Excellent fit and finish for the money. Just buy them.
Size: For BMW E46 2002-2005, Size: For BMW E46 2002-2005
Perfect fit. These grilles were better quality than the price would suggest. Easy to install, not brittle, and fit very snug. I’m not sure why there are so many negative reviews for these. I was fairly rough with the first one I installed and it didn’t crack. They look great. For a purist with excess money lying around, sure, go with genuine BMW. For a daily driver, you’d never know the difference aside from the black finish. Save the money spent on these over the OEM BMW and use it for something else. Below need not be read unless you like long winded car resurrection stories... The back story on the car for those who might wanna talk trash about its condition: I bought this ‘01 330xi from a buddy who really beat the car up. I’ve had to replace the entire front end and am in the process of painting the car. I had to source a hood at my local pick ‘n pull due to low funds because I bought a new house recently. The hood I found at the parts yard was for an ‘04 e46 (post facelift). Hood fits just fine and the grilles are perfect. Don’t hesitate to buy!

e46 Sedan Black Kidney Grill: Good fit with a better attachment mechanism than stock!
Size: For BMW E46 1998-2001
These kidney grill replacements were for a e46 sedan (323i). They fit really well. They come with a different type of attachment mechanism than other types I've used in the past: These have 'posts' with a slight groove that you gently pry into place against the hood's mounting tabs. It's a solid holding mechanism - much better than the tab-types I've seen in the past. These do not wiggle around, and feel very solid once mounted. They DID require a bit of fitting with a dremel where the hood release latch is mounted to the hood. I had to cut back about half-an-inch of the inner 'shell' of the grill so it didn't interfere with the latch when you pull 'up' on it to release the hood. Based on having an e46 sedan for 16+ years, and having replaced the kidney grills several times, I'm quite fine with a little bit of modification for a good fit. I like these quite a bit better than other aftermarket types, and even the OEM BMW grills. The price is good, and mounting is solid. I liked them so much, I purchased a second set for my son's 323i right after putting them on one of my 323i's. I plan on getting a set for a 325Ci one that car needs replacements.

They fit super snug and the quality is way better than price suggests.
Size: For BMW E46 2002-2005
They came in wrapped very well in foam and bubble wrap. They felt sturdy and the matte finish was satisfactory. They needed quite some pressure to snap in but when they did you could tell they weren’t going anywhere. The fitment is perfect and it looks great. If the stubs in the car where the grille clips attach are in tact you shouldn’t have a problem. Don’t be discouraged by the negative reviews.

Good value for the money
Size: For BMW E46 2002-2005
The matte is flawless and looks pristine & super easy to install. It does fit and it’s a good enough fit for a daily driver; however, it’s not a flawless fit. It’s off by maybe a 1/16th on the inside corners. It’s amazingly close despite the price point…would definitely recommend.
