Description
NATURALLY DYNAMIC. EFFORTLESSLY ALIVE.
Your own space within the music.
Meet the STRADA: a pair of closed-back dynamic headphones crafted for tonal balance and musical intimacy. With its full-bodied sound, excellent noise isolation, and natural sense of space, the STRADA delivers a harmonious acoustic experience where detail, texture, and dynamics come through with effortless precision.
STRADA [ˈstra.da] Romanian noun — STREET
Echoes. Changes. Memories. Moments that shaped who we are, long before we knew it. The STRADA accompany you along the acts that define your journey, and through the feelings they awaken.
A reminder that everything begins with a single sound: our own.
CLOSED-BACK BLISS
STRADA inherits its design from our acclaimed LIRIC chassis, reimagined around a dynamic driver architecture. Hand-built from premium materials and shaped for a natural, adaptable fit, its lightweight closed-back construction distributes pressure evenly across the head and ears, delivering a thoughtful harmony of a consistent seal, isolation, and long-wear comfort in a more versatile form.
AN ADVANCED DRIVER AT ITS CORE
At the STRADA’s core is the dynamic driver first introduced in the 109 PRO, tuned to perform within a closed-back chamber. We kept the driver’s natural character fully intact while refining its behavior to meet the acoustic demands of a sealed environment.
W-SHAPED DOME
Made of a carbon fiber-reinforced cellulose composite, the dome can reproduce high frequencies with remarkable detail, clarity, and definition. More durable than conventional alternatives used in dynamic drivers, yet lightweight, this composite helps reduce resonances that may lead to harmonic distortion.
BERYLLIUM-COATED TORUS
The torus surrounding the dome is composed of beryllium-coated semicrystalline polymer. By applying the beryllium coating through Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD), we increased the stiffness and durability of the driver, while still keeping it light enough to achieve a fast transient response. These qualities are also enhanced through the grooves on the torus, which are precisely positioned at a 45.5° angle. Beryllium’s high damping qualities also help suppress unwanted resonances, giving STRADA its vivid and transparent character.
STABILIZED
The copper-zinc alloy stabilizer, positioned around the membrane, improves the absorption of vibrations to further reduce distortion.
FEATURES & CRAFTSMANSHIP
COMFORT THAT INVITES YOU IN
Designed for long listening sessions, STRADA brings together gentle clamping force, deep memory-foam ear pads, and the proven ergonomics of our award-winning LIRIC design. The soft PU leather contact surface of the ear pads provides a reliable acoustic seal, while the Alcantara-lined inner chamber helps manage heat and moisture buildup inside the ear cup, reducing fatigue during extended wear.
SMOOTH ADJUSTMENT RODS
Crafted with precision and refined to move with fluid ease, STRADA’s adjustment rods let you fine-tune the fit with smooth, controlled movement, free of clicks or sudden steps.
MAGNETIC EAR PADS
The STRADA benefits from our seamless magnetic ear pad mounting system, enhancing serviceability and providing an easier, more accessible pad-swapping experience without compromising proper sealing.
EXOTIC WOOD CHOICE
The ear cups are adorned in Macassar ebony – a heavy, dense, and aesthetically pleasing hardwood known for its deep, rich brown coloration punctuated by intricate golden-brown stripes.
SOFT-PADDED HEADBAND
The headband cushions are arranged around a symmetrical cross pattern, thus distributing pressure evenly across the head. This design provides a consistent clamping force and maintains airflow, reducing heat and humidity during periods of extended listening.
NATURALLY MODERN SHEEN
Our passion for design and well-made objects is reflected in the colour chosen for the magnesium frame: a deep, refined shade of green with metallic particles that shimmer subtly as they catch the light.
HAND-PAINTED IN-HOUSE
Modern technology is no substitute for human meticulousness and soul, which is why each chassis is hand-painted by our in-house artisans. Four carefully applied layers of paint are needed to achieve the STRADA’s rich texture and depth.
BUILT TO LAST
From their resilient frame to the removable components, every part of the STRADA was crafted with long-term ownership in mind. By combining premium materials with a modular design, we've made it easy to repair or refresh, ensuring they stay in top form for years to come. This is our way of honoring the past, investing in the future, and building something you’ll want to pass down, not throw away.
