I have for sale an excellent pair of Meze Elite headphones. They come from a pet, smoke, and child free home. I purchased them new from an authorized dealer in July of 2022. They come with a 2.5m copper xlr to mini xlr connectors. They sound superb are extremely comfortable as stated by reviewer after reviewer. So, you might ask why I am selling these after so little use. The reason is that I have somewhat large ears which act as heatsinks for my head! So, while these are supremely comfortable, I cannot wear them over an hour or 2 before my ears get hot. Given that I sold my speaker system but listen to music 5-8 hours per day, I must sell these and continue to use my RAAL ear field speakers which do not touch my ears. These have not had much use even though the pads were very comfortable.  I am asking $2795 or best offer plus $50 insured shipping.

See the many superlative reviews of these headphones on the web as well as you tube. Here are just a couple examples:

From Headfi:

There is a unique, special quality in the Elite's sound which is hard to describe. A sweet and addictive tonality which makes you want to listen more and more. One thing is the non-fatiguing, relaxed and supremely natural sound; another thing is this lingering sweetness which spoils your ears. To me the Elites are a huge improvement on the Empyrean when it comes to technical abilities and overall balance. The new Meze flagship is well-balanced and a lot more neutral sounding from sub-bass to upper treble and it is a true flagship, top of the line performer when it comes to detail retrieval, speed, clarity and resolution.

There are other flagship headphones which do certain things better like an even bigger soundstage or even more obvious details or slightly higher resolution or even bigger bass impact, but to me at least none of those are this good in almost everything. The resolution, detail retrieval, speed and other qualities on the Elite are simply stunning and leave no further desires for the last 5% when the level of musical engagement is unrivalled. In this regard (as well as in comfort and build) in my opinion the Elites are the best of the best.

From Headmania reviewing the Meze Elite:
Summary
Bass
The bass is very enjoyable, presenting addictive weight, good impact and decent speed. I have heard faster and more detailed bass (hekse or susvara would be 2 examples), but overall it has a very good balance with the rest of the frequencies, not shadowing or bleeding into the mids. It also achieves a good balance between the technical aspects and the euphonic character it brings into the music.
Midrange
The midrange is amazing from more than one perspective, showing very good details, but also vibrating natural texture.
Treble
The treble is sparkly and has good details. I think the transition from the lower treble to the mid treble is done better than with the Empyrean, more gradual with no spike in-between. The treble is natural, is not fatiguing and while I have heard better details (with hd800, he1000se, susvara), I prefer this version, as it doesn’t invade my listening experience and it has everything I need to be impressed and not feel I am losing something, nor does it bring this frequency in front in an unnatural way.
Vocals
This is another area where these headphones shine. I must say that I had one of the best experiences of my life with headphones in this department. The vocals are clear, natural, well textured, vibrating with life and very present.
Transients/Dynamics
This a very important area that has been improved over the empyrean. I felt like the attack is stronger and the decay is faster/more detailed. While with Empyrean I felt like it was on the verge of feeling I lost excitement to other flagships, with Elite it got to a point where it’s so enjoyable in this department that I don’t care any longer and I just lose myself into the music.
I feel like the dynamics are quite good with these headphones. They have very good macro dynamics and good micro-dynamics. They can make you feel the music, they can make you headbang or tap your feet while listening to the music.
Details
The details are great on most of the frequency range and they actually do excel, especially on the midrange. You can get more detailed headphones, but I feel like with the Elite, the details flow and integrate into the music in a very effortless way, not emphasizing anything in an unnatural way.
Transparency/Clarity
The sound is incredibly clear, as crisp as a mountain spring. The background is black and this is one of the cleanest sound I have heard. It’s like a portal directly into the music. You put them on and you enter the “music metaverse” (now that the metaverse is popular and is used for almost everything :)) )
Imaging – Soundstage
The imaging is also great, the instruments are very well placed into the scene, the sounds are very well separated from each other, having plenty of space to breath and vibrate with energy. The soundstage is impressive, one of the best I have heard in headphones. It’s big in all directions, especially width and depth. It gives a sense of space and holography that transposes you in the music even better.
