That high‑voltage, low‑current approach is all about linearity and low distortion, with a quoted frequency range from 3 Hz to 115 kHz and total harmonic distortion below 0.05%, positioning ARTA at the top of Meze’s range as its new reference open‑back.\u003cspan class=\"citation-nbsp\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation inline\" data-pplx-citation=\"\" data-pplx-citation-url=\"https:\/\/mezeaudio.com\/pages\/arta\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"group\/trigger inline-flex min-w-0\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation inline\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)+br]:hidden\"\u003eIn listening terms, Meze describes ARTA’s tuning as “warm‑neutral,” aiming for a rich, natural presentation rather than a forensic, clinical balance. Early impressions highlight a wide, open soundstage with strong “out of the head” imaging, where instruments sit in a three‑dimensional space in a way that feels closer to high‑end speakers in a treated room than to traditional headphones. The very low distortion and fast planar response are intended to give clean transients and fine detail without tipping into sharpness or fatigue.\u003cspan class=\"citation-nbsp\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation inline\" data-pplx-citation=\"\" data-pplx-citation-url=\"https:\/\/www.whathifi.com\/headphones\/wired-headphones\/these-futuristic-meze-headphones-are-a-feast-for-your-eyes-but-one-detail-might-make-your-eyes-water\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"group\/trigger inline-flex min-w-0\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation inline\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)+br]:hidden\"\u003eDesign and build are as much a part of ARTA’s identity as the driver tech. The open‑back earcups use angled acoustic blades in the grille to control internal reflections, contributing to that more open, layered presentation. The chassis combines carbon fibre, leather, and metal in a sculptural form that feels more like a piece of industrial art than a generic headphone, with a weight of around 495 g that reflects its substantial construction. As with previous Meze flagships, serviceability and longevity are key themes, with components designed to be maintained rather than treated as disposable.\u003cspan class=\"citation-nbsp\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation inline\" data-pplx-citation=\"\" data-pplx-citation-url=\"https:\/\/www.residentialsystems.com\/technology\/audio\/meze-audio-previews-arta-headphone-at-high-end-vienna\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"group\/trigger inline-flex min-w-0\" data-state=\"closed\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"citation inline\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"my-2 [\u0026amp;+p]:mt-4 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:block [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)]:pb-2 [\u0026amp;_strong:has(+br)+br]:hidden\"\u003eIn a real system, ARTA is aimed squarely at home listening with serious amplification—its 225‑ohm impedance strongly suggests pairing with a high‑quality desktop headphone amp or dedicated head‑fi stack, rather than casual portable use. For someone who already enjoys speakers but wants a late‑night or alternative setup that doesn’t feel like a compromise, Meze ARTA is positioned as a very high‑end, long‑term way to get that same sense of space, tone, and involvement on your own terms.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Meze Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45561639960629,"sku":"Arta","price":8495.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2246\/9355\/files\/MezeAudioARTA_jpg.jpg?v=1781137107"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2246\/9355\/collections\/Meze_Audio_Logo_svg.png?v=1749485452","url":"https:\/\/hificentre.com\/collections\/meze\/headphones+in-ear+meze-audio.oembed","provider":"Hi-Fi Centre","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
