About this product

Meze Audio spent three years researching ergonomic shapes and fidelity-minded components for its Rai Penta in-ear headphones. Suffice it to say the investment paid off. Able to pair with practically any device due to its low impedance and high sensitivity, Rai Penta is specifically engineered to work with high-resolution sources, with which it offers superbly balanced sonics marked by surgically accurate micro detail, crystal-clear transparency, and wowing realism across the spectrum ranging from 4Hz to 45kHz. These are not normal in-ear monitors in any way.

Featuring Penta Hybrid technology that delivers harmonized sound frequencies without overlay of phase issues, these artisan earphones employ five painstakingly tuned drivers (four balanced armature, one dynamic) harmoniously functioning together – an approach enabled by the very specific, precise length of each precision-milled metal sound bore that, by extension, determines the air volume in front of each driver. In addition, a Pressure Equalization System (PES) located front and behind the driver assembly helps regulate airflow control.

Rai Penta isn't just about cutting-edge architecture and parts. Indeed, a major reason it stands out owes to its luxurious comfort distinguished with sensations of airiness and custom fit. Round, soft edges embrace the natural curves of the human ear and take to it like creamer in coffee. Aesthetically, Rai Penta looks as good as they feel. And following the form follows function mantra, the CNC aluminum chassis provides an optimal arena for music to be accurately channeled to your inner ear both directly and without distortion.

For added purity and longevity, Rai Penta comes with a stellar cable comprised of four silver-plated copper wires terminated in finely crafted metal plug shells. Each wire consists of 20 Litz strands while the rhodium-plated plug termination further ensures excellent connectivity and durability. A hard protective case, four pairs of soft silicone eartips, one pair of double-flanged eartips, two pairs of deep-insertion double-flanged eartips, one pair of comply foam eartips, a 3.5mm-to-6.3mm adapter, and a cleaning tool all come standard and guarantee you'll have what you need to enjoy your Rai Penta wherever you go. 100% Music Direct Guaranteed.

"During my busy traveling season this fall, the Rai Penta was my transducer of choice for on-the-go listening and in this capacity it's among the best out there. If you're looking for a top-tier IEM and have some cash to spend, but balk at the $2,000+ flagship IEMs, the Meze Rai Penta should definitely be on your audition list."
– Grover Neville, Inner Fidelity

"The more I listened to the Meze Rai Penta, the more I wanted to listen to music, which is perhaps the best praise you can make of an audio component. If there is a criticism, even that's a positive one; it doesn't draw attention to itself sonically, which might weigh against it next to more immediate-sounding in-ear monitors. But, in the long run, that easy, unforced accuracy, coupled with excellent bass and imaging that is more out of the head than it is inside, all add up to an in-ear monitor that's hard to beat for the long game of listening."
– Alan Sircom, Hi-Fi+

"The MezeRai Penta in-ears have everything a top-of-the-range listener needs: an extraordinarily high-quality construction and workmanship, a high level of comfort even with hours of music and last but not least a balanced, authentic-looking sound that does not miss anything."
– Mobile Fidelity Magazin (Germany).
