Meze 109 Pro – Lively Musicality Lives & Breathes Here

Meze 109 Pro – Lively Musicality Lives & Breathes Here

Preamble:
Meze Audio is a celebrated brand that manufactures headphones and their associated accessories. Founded in 2011, this Romanian-based company has garnered an enviable worldwide reputation for high-quality products.
The $800 109 Pro lands in the middle, actually lower middle, of their range. There has obviously been a good amount of effort both from an engineering standpoint and in the audio characteristics. Meze also states that they designed the headphones in a modular fashion, allowing users to disassemble and service them endlessly. Impressive indeed.
The open-back 109 Pro uses a single in-house dynamic driver with a W-shaped fibre-reinforced cellulose composite dome. The torus around the dome is made of the 22-micron thick beryllium-coated semicrystalline polymer. The diaphragm sits in a high-precision aluminium frame with a copper-zinc alloy stabilizer, positioned around the membrane.
With great build quality, the design is fabulous and attractive, IMHO. The 109 Pro is also easy to drive, and while it definitely scales with better sources, it plays well with less powerful sources. I though, would not power this worthy headphone from any old source. A clean source with either a balanced or just slightly warm sound signature will do the Meze 109 Pro proud.
But how do the Meze 109 Pro sound? After all, this is what this review is all about. Well, it sounds like they look. Luscious and intricate, with a pleasing balance of technicalities and musicality. It offers a balanced tonality with a touch of upper-frequency boost.
