Product Description

Meze – Elite Chameleon Final Edition

After the great success of the Meze Elite Chameleon, which was launched in May 2022 – and one out of the 22 units was given to Alan Parsons – we decided to make another, even more exclusive run. Say welcome to the Elite Chameleon Final Edition, a run of only 10 units (numbered!). It is based on the new grey’ish Tungsten frame of the Meze Elite plus the sensational Chameleon grills, which change colour when being twisting and turned. Of course, the Chameon Final Edition comes with the new angled Alcantara earpads. On top of that, the Chameleon Final Edition comes with a Meze x Furukawa silver-copper high-end cable. Please specify your cable-choice at checkout (2,5/3,5/4,4/6,3mm, XLR).

The partnership between Meze Audio and Rinauro Isodynamics continues with the launching of the new MEZE – ELITE Isodynamic Hybrid Array headphones. ELITE is coming to set a new benchmark in top-of-the-line headphone performance, additionally combining Meze Audio’s superb mechanical design and ergonomics with Rinaro’s distinctive technology and acoustic engineering.

ELITE gives an accurate, realistic listening experience suited to exceed the highest standards of the accomplished audiophile by combining an elite aesthetic through state-of-the-art engineering.

Meze Audio created a one-of-a-kind headset with revolutionary designs and technology that usually perfectly complement each other to generate a pure feeling with a no-compromise philosophy, inspired by the love for art and sound.

Meze ELITE Maximum durability and a stunning appearance

Firstly, Materials were chosen not just for their raw texture’s thrilling sensory experience, but also for their comfort and longevity. A carbon fiber headband with a real leather headrest was added to the frame for an ultra-light feel, and the deep black grill with detailed carvings gives the Elite its stunning appearance.

Meze ELITE Designed to last a lifetime

Secondly, Meze Audio’s main idea is to produce products that will persist through years and years of industry changes, providing customers with long-term value.
Elite is no exception.

From its appearance to its technology, this headset created to outlast all passing fads and become a true treasure.

Elite is entirely serviceable, similarly taking long-term sustainability to a new level: from the replacement earpads to the high-performance materials utilized, every aspect of the headphone chassis can be readily disassembled and maintained.

The enormous time commitment of world-class drivers

Thirdly, Each driver unit made at Rinaro Isodynamics in Ukraine takes more than 100 hours to develop and test before being delivered to Meze Audio for the final assembly of the headphone.

Two different ear pads for optimum comfort and sound quality with innovative design

The Isomagnetic® earpad attachment is an innovative design feature invente by Rinaro because that leverages the driver’s demagnetizing field to secure the earpad in place while also redirecting the magnetic field back into the driver and enhancing driver efficiency.

Generally, The Rinaro-designed Meze ELITE headphone comes with two distinctively shaped earpads that allow for specific sound signature calibration.

ALCANTARA®
The Elite comes with Meze’s new angled Alcantara earpads.

HYBRID (Perforated Alcantara® Interior + Real Leather Exterior)
Lastly, The 25mm deep Leather + Alcantara earpad, designed just for ELITE by Rinaro, is a new addition to the line-up that blends the best of two materials.
