The MZ6 combines ideas developed for Meze’s LIRIC and ELITE platforms in a smaller 92 x 63 mm ovoid driver. Its ultra-light 0.06 g diaphragm responds rapidly to musical transients, helping POET reproduce low-level texture, vocal nuance, and precise bass impact without losing the relaxed musical character associated with Meze headphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe open-back architecture allows sound to move freely around the driver, creating a spacious, dimensional presentation suited to focused listening.
