Replaceable Cables

A pair of headphones with a replaceable cable has many benefits, and one of them is if the connecting cable has a problem, it doesn’t mean that you have to buy a new one. If the connecting cable gets pulled or damaged, you can replace it and keep using your good-old headphones or IEMs. This way, your headphones will be protected and will last longer. With the advancements in cable manufacturing, you now get a variety of replacement cables with various termination options, lengths and quality.

Description

The Meze Rai Penta is a high-end audiophile IEM that works effortlessly with any source device due to its low impedance and high sensitivity. It has high-quality sound and the perfect build with its unique and ergonomic housing. This IEM consists of four balanced armature drivers and one dynamic driver that work in tandem to deliver exceptional sonic performance. Enjoy detailed sound, natural tonality and consistent fit. Overall, the Rai Penta is by far their most advanced IEM. An IEM tuned for vocal enthusiasts and audiophiles alike. The Meze Rai Penta delivers full-range performance with ease.

The hybrid technology of the Rai Penta delivers harmonised sound frequencies without the overlay of phase issues. The Rai Penta has a 3-way crossover with the dynamic driver for the lows, 2 BA for the mids, and 2 BA for the highs. The engineers designed the Rai Penta with precision tuning not only with the drivers but also with the sound bores. The first is their precisely milled sound bores, which regulate airflow and, as a result, harmonise phasing to provide a cleaner, more exact level of sound that reaches your ear, rather than utilising silicone or plastics. The result is a pure sonic voyage that will engulf you in your music.

Most multi-driver configurations use an imperfect plastic tube and dampener system resulting in interference. The Rai Penta's driver does away with this design for clean, pure sound. It delivers a balanced sound signature and also provides extreme detailing to every tune, within a frequency range from 4Hz to 45 kHz. Additionally, it can be driven by virtually any source device.

The finely tuned PES (Pressure Equalisation System) design in front and behind the driver assembly helps in controlling the internal chamber pressure by regulating the airflow. For the sound to be directed to your ears without any disturbance, the CNC aluminium chassis is milled from solid aluminium to create a perfect space. The milled logo on the high-endurance anodised surface shows the aluminium material under the anodizing.

Meze has designed the Rai Penta's housings to be durable, comfortable and easy to use. The rounded edges are designed to mimic the natural curves of the human ear for a more secure and comfortable fit. It's purely made for the true audiophile to spend hours and hours listening to this beauty.

The Rai Penta has been designed with high-purity silver-plated copper wires and finely crafted metal plugs. This design ensures that the assembled cables are strong enough for a long time. Each of the four wires consists of 20 Litz strands. For the best connectivity and durability; the MMCX plugs are crafted from high-quality materials and a rhodium-plated plug termination.

SOUND

FREQUENCY GRAPH

CHEAT SHEET

Regions of the frequency spectrum

SUB BASS
(20Hz - 80 Hz)

The first section of the frequency spectrum is the sub-bass. Everything below 80Hz is sub-bass, so generally, you need a subwoofer or a good pair of headphones (open-back headphones, for example) to hear this region. This region comprises instruments like the Kick Drum and the Bass Guitar. You should be able to hear Sub-Bass if you’re listening on monitors or headphones. But if you’re listening on a laptop or a phone, there’s no way you will hear that.

MID BASS
(80 Hz - 300 kHz)

After the Sub-Bass region, we get into the region known as the Bass or Mid-Bass. This region consists of everything between 80 and 300 hertz. In this area, we’ve got instruments like bass guitar and the low end of a snare. Lots of the low-end vocals as well, because male vocals are going to have the fundamental below 200Hz in most cases.

LOWER MIDRANGE
(300 Hz - 1000 kHz)

Next, if you go from 300 Hz up to 1000 kHz, this is known as the Lower Midrange, and this is a crucial region for music because this is where you get a lot of buildup with guitars, vocals, and even the top-end of the bass guitar especially. Lower Midrange is an area guilty of adding mud to a mix and clarity in this region lifts a track exponentially.

UPPER MIDRANGE
(1 kHz - 6 kHz)

Human hearing focuses inherently on this frequency range. So it’s crucial to get this range right. This region consists of the main focus of the track (e.g. vocals) and synths. Be aware that this is also where you can start to get into harshness and aggressive tones.

TREBLE
(6 kHz - 10 kHz)

After the Upper Midrange, we’ve got the Treble region between 6kHz and 8 kHz, and this is where things start to get harsh. This region is where we have brittleness from instruments like the Hi-Hats and Cymbals. This is also a crucial range for clarity and aggression, especially for female vocals.

AIR
(10 kHz - 20 kHz)

At the end of the frequency spectrum, we get to the Air region or the Top End. This region consists of everything above 10 kHz. This is where we have air and this is where we get a sense of shine and sparkle in our music.

"Personally, I adore the harmonic balance and timbre of the Rai Penta throughout. It sounds very natural without too much warmth or sharpness."

"After the award-winning Empyrean, Antonio Meze and his team have done it again. The 5 driver Rai Penta isn’t only comfortable, it looks beautiful and sounds like a high-end IEM should sound."

"It has a beautiful, harmonically complex, and natural sound with a little bit of a bass bump for extra impact. Additionally, it fits extremely easily in the ears."

“It is a product that shows off it’s subtle refinement over long listening sessions and deep critical listening that quickly digresses into ‘lost in the music’ time."

“I place these in my highest category, Pretty Awesome. You get a fantastic bang for your buck with these IEM’s. To summarize, the tone, bass, clarity, precision are all hitting above their weight class."

"If I had to summarize this listening and the discovery of Meze Rai Penta in very few words, I would simply say: splendid, with magical moments."

"What the Rai Penta delivers are impressive dynamics and a level playing field for all the frequencies. Their transparency allows them to play well with all genres and bring out the best in all of them."

A classic Meze masterpiece.

Better than Andromeda's and have a dark sound signature.
The only iems with which double flanged ear tips actually feel good( included in box). Just use them with Tidal or Qobuz and enjoy for hours.....

Thank you for sharing your review with us.

Penta stars

The entire experience is mellow, smooth, sophisticated. Every musical pleasure is dished out in such measures and form which please the soul. The bass and percussions would do what they are supposed to do, lift up your mood and energy. The strings at
will be presented just right to delight your being. The wind instruments make you float over far away lands.
The voices will always have their own space, distinct and dignified.
In all it is an experience of all seasons, like a breeze on a hot summer afternoon, or the tingle of sun on a wintry morning.
Use this earphone not looking for details and power, allow it to reveal the subtle nuances and deep strength while you should just give in to bliss which good music is supposed to give you.
Looks like I have found my earphone.

Penta Heaven

First off, I'd like to thank the Headphone Zone team for their professionalism and great work ethics. Then, Ian for quickly shipping this as promised which was received in Goa a day after. It's good to be able to buy quality stuff right here rather than burdening relatives abroad.
As for the IEM's, it was the first time for me, that I could hear clear delineation in the instruments in an IEM.The bass end was tight without being overwhelming and the midrange was panoramic. The high end was subtle without being bright. Only wish Meze could add the balanced 2.5 mm in the original box rather than putting it out separately. Very satisfied

Just what I am was looking for

Fantastic product, especially when paired with the mojo 2. I was looking for something that is not too bright and this is tue one… thanks to Raghav and the team when they got to hyderabad with their full range of equipment, I was able to experience them first hand before making the purchase. Get the setting right on the mojo2 and these will sing… a word of caution, they need some burning in and settling in.

This makes us really happy and we really appreciate the genuine feedback! We're glad that you have such positive thoughts about our service and the company.
