MEZE AUDIO 109 PRO > review in HiFiTrends

It’s hard to believe that Meze Audio has just released its first Dynamic Open-Back cans, but here they are. Dubbed the Meze Audio 109 PRO ($799), they are stunning, crafted from a carefully curated combination of materials. Those materials include some impressive stuff, like finished walnut wood, zinc, manganese steel, and quality faux leather.

Inside the walnut wood earcups resides a novel 50mm Dual-Composite diaphragm. It has an outside ring (or torus) made up of Beryllium-coated semicrystalline polymer surrounding a cellulose-carbon fiber composite dome.

VERDICT
To sum things up, the Meze Audio 109 PRO Headphones, with their novel driver, provide a remarkably neutral, organic, and transparent performance. They have a “live music” quality that stops you in your tracks. I have headphones on hand that costs several times what the Meze’s do, and I found myself drawn back to their musicality over and over.

Along with that, these headphones are amazingly comfortable during long-wearing sessions, and you don’t need to spend a fortune on a source to drive them (but you will be rewarded if you do).

If you’re looking for luxury near-reference headphones for less than 1k, these are the ones to buy! I believe these headphones will become that elusive endgame purchase for a decent percentage of audiophiles. Highly Recommended!
