Meze Audio POET: Finally planar-magnetic headphones that aren't (purely) unaffordable

When industrial designer Antonio Meze realized over a decade ago that the headphone market wasn’t offering anything that would satisfy his sophisticated taste in sound and design, he decided to take matters into his own hands. Thus was born the Meze Audio brand, which quickly established itself as one of the most respected in the audiophile world. In 2015, they impressed with the Meze 99 Classics model, and the turning point came with the Empyrean, the first high-end planar-magnetic headphones that left the competition far behind – both in quality and price. This time, Meze Audio presents the POET.

Beats Powerbeats Pro 2 – headphones that Apple should copy

Sometimes you have to admit – Beats have long been considered the “too much bass, not enough everything else” headphones you buy just because someone on Instagram was wearing them. But here we go – it’s 2025 and I’m about to say something that would have sent me into internet quarantine years ago: The new Powerbeats Pro 2 are actually some of the better headphones on the market. Yes, those ear-hook headphones that look like something a space marathon runner would wear. Well, now they’re better, lighter, more comfortable and – surprise – smarter. And the craziest part: they have all these upgrades, but the price remains the same as the previous generation. Apple, are you online?

Beats Studio Buds+: Juicy improvements in a transparent casing

The Beats Studio Buds were one of the most popular true wireless headphones in their price range, especially among Apple users. Their minimalist design, powerful bass, and comfort won over the masses, but they also received criticism - mainly for their mediocre call quality and average noise cancellation. Now here are the Beats Studio Buds+, which promise more or less improvements in all the key areas. Better sound quality, better microphones, better noise cancellation, longer battery life - and as a bonus, a transparent version that attracts more views than a desperate TikTok influencer. But do all these improvements actually justify the purchase?
