The headphone renaissance is real, and Meze Audio is one of the brands leading it.

Handcrafted in Romania with meticulous attention to every detail of design and construction, Meze headphones combine stunning industrial design with a warm, musical sound signature that makes extended listening sessions pure pleasure. These are headphones that look like they should cost more than they do, sound like they absolutely should, and feel like you could wear them all day without a second thought.

The Meze Elite and Empyrean have earned devoted followings among headphone enthusiasts worldwide, and with very good reason. These planar magnetic headphones deliver a spacious, three-dimensional soundstage with remarkable detail retrieval and a natural, unforced tonal balance that works across every genre — from intimate acoustic recordings and jazz to dense electronic productions and orchestral works. They’re also among the most comfortable high-end headphones we’ve ever worn. The ergonomic suspension headband design and premium ear pad materials mean you can listen for hours on end without fatigue.

At Definitive, we see headphone listening as a wonderful complement to — not a replacement for — a great speaker system. Many of our customers enjoy both: speakers for shared experiences and filling a room with music, headphones for late-night sessions, focused critical listening, or when you want to disappear completely into the music without disturbing anyone else.

We carry Meze because their philosophy aligns with ours: music first, always, and the equipment should serve the emotional connection to the performance above all else.

Visit our Seattle Experience Center to audition Meze headphones with a range of amplifiers and sources in a quiet, focused listening environment. Whether you’re building your first serious headphone setup or searching for the ultimate personal listening experience, we’re here to help.
