Meze Audio values first-hand experience and constructive feedback from experienced users, and we want to connect with as many dedicated headphone enthusiasts as possible. We decided to host this tour so that you can try our latest product with your own players and music and form your opinion as early as possible.

The Advar is our latest IEM offer that hides a powerful, detailed, lifelike sound behind a uniquely designed stainless steel chassis. Inside the shell, a precisely tuned 10.2 mm single dynamic driver creates a warm, dynamic presentation that stays true to Meze Audio’s already established sound signature. The diaphragm offers impressive control all across the frequency range, leaving room to a smooth, velvet-like sound. The CNC finishing and high-gloss Black Chrome plating on the main shell added a touch of elegance to a well-engineering ear monitor.

Please read the tour instruction carefully. By signing up for the tour, you are agreeing to follow the tour arrangement and will publish a detailed review of Advar Showcase on Head Gear or any magazine/review website you are affiliated with. For more information regarding Meze Advar, please check out the Meze website and the official Meze Audio Advar thread in Head-Fi forum.
