Meze wood earphones
Coco Chanel used to say:
“Fashion is not something that exists in dresses only. Fashion is in the sky, in the street, fashion has to do with ideas, the way we live, what is happening.”
Nowadays Apple show out that even technology can be fashionable: the fancy iPhone is a must have accessory. But what if you want to change your earphones? What can you wear?
If big earphones are not your cup of tea but you want something more original you may consider Meze’s product.
Meze is a brand which has designed these unusual earphones wood based.
Yes: wood. These earphones* have a sophisticated part made completely with wood.
Wood grants two positive effects: a better quality sound and a particular aesthetic appeal.
The earphones come with a very nice EVA carrying case that you can use in various way, just re-invent it to carry all the small accessories you collected through the years.
In order to write an in-depth review, I checked Meze’s earphones performance using different devices and played various tracks from different authors and genres from the electro base line by Skrillex to epic Movie scores.

Acoustic isolation
Once pushed play, most of surrounding noises won’t disturb your music listening, ideal for train travelling and so on.
Sounds quality
For the stress test I chose tracks recorded using different techniques: from pure digital studios producing to classical orchestral recording. The sounds is perfectly clear and bass works nicely especially if you chose the right earbuds.
The earphones come with 3 set of earbuds:
- The smallest one is made to get the clearest sound
- The biggest one are made for those who love to drop the bass.
This earphone passed all tests including the hardest one.
Music: Avatar soundtrack

This soundtrack is a particularly complicated recording since it mixes seamlessly classical orchestral and digital synthetic environment sounds. The earphones played well and you’ll feel like living through Pandora’s woods.
If you are addicted to the mobile synth Figure you’ll enjoy the precise sound of these earphones.
Overall opinion
These earphones perfectly mix nice design and brilliant sound.
Whatever is your style, from athletic to sober serious you’ll love the way it will works with your outfit.
