In this video I take the Meze Audio Strada (closed-back) out for a proper real-world assessment: comfort, isolation, drivability, and whether it actually works for the train/plane/office life. Strada is basically Meze taking the 109 Pro dynamic driver, then “mugging” the Liric line for the housing ideas—magnetically removable pads, that closed-back isolation, and a build that lands around 330g. I go through the unboxing, the case and accessories, and I spend a frankly silly amount of time praising the included Kevlar/OCC cable because it’s genuinely one of the nicest I’ve seen in the category. Sound-wise, I push it with the L&P P6 Pro, Mojo 2, iFi Go Blu, and the Earmen L-Amp. Sub-bass to lower mid-bass is absolutely knocking—tall, visceral, and very dynamic—then the upper-bass thins out, which can leave the treble feeling more forward. My main nit is a narrow band around 6–7k: it’s clean and resolving, but it can get aggressive and fatiguing on certain mixes, especially pop and some classical. With the Earmen L-Amp (and its slightly softer, tubey vibe plus bass boost), Strada smooths out and thickens up nicely. Where Strada surprised me is movies and gaming: that “problem” region bothers me less, the stage opens up, and the bass impact makes effects and weapons sound brilliant. My take: excellent portable closed-back attempt for the price—just be aware if you’re treble sensitive.
