Romanian headphone specialist Meze is launchings its latest flagship in-ear-monitor headphone.
Crafted from titanium, the Astru (Romanian for ‘star’) uses a single 10mm multilayer composite dynamic driver, with a dome featuring over 80 ultra-thin layers of gold, applied during a 48-hour physical vacuum DC magnetron sputtering process.
It’s then bonded to a titanium layer and finally mounted on a PEEK (Polyether ether ketone) base.
The Astru’s outer shell has also been considered, with refined geometry that’s CNC-machined from a single block of pure titanium, that then goes through a multi-stage electroplating process to achieve a smooth satin finish.Each matched pair of shells requires up to seven days of precision processing.
Supplied accessories includes a premium balanced cable with CNC-anodised aluminium hardware and gold-plated 4.4mm balanced termination.
A 4.4mm to 3.5mm adapter also comes as part of the package, along with five sizes of ear tips (XS–XL), and two carry solutions – a protective pouch and a soft PU leather envelope.
Priced at £819, visit Meze to find out more.
