Made in Romania, the newest addition to the Meze Audio lineup are the brand's first dynamic open-back headphones. Combining an open-back design with a walnut wood chamber that follows the unmistakable aesthetic language of Meze Audio, the 109 PRO is precisely engineered to deliver an exceptional soundstage and a highly detailed, enveloping sound, with just the right amount of punch.
Mircea Fanatan, Managing Director of Meze Audio, told StereoNET:
With this headphone, we have proudly achieved our goal of delivering the same level of workmanship found in Empyrean and Elite, at a lower price point. We know that fans have high expectations from us so, when making the 109 PRO, our goal was to build something to surpass those expectations. We focused a lot of resources on sound development, and I think the result is sublime.
In true Meze Audio fashion, the 109 PRO blends together carefully selected materials such as walnut wood, zinc, and manganese steel, assembled together using only nuts and bolts, making this headphone fully and endlessly serviceable.
Antonio Meze, Lead Designer and Founder of Meze Audio added:
At the core of it all, music is an expression of emotion, a celebration of life and a token of everlasting memories. Every part of the 109 PRO headphones, from the premium materials we used to the intricate engineering, embodies that same emotion our favorite music makes us feel. We're extremely happy to finally have it ready and show it to everyone in Australia at the StereoNET Hi-Fi Show.
The 109 PRO will be available for listening sessions at the Radiance AV Booth (E5, Level 1) at the StereoNET Hi-Fi & AV Show, June 3rd-5th, at the Pullman Mercure Hotel, Albert Park, Melbourne. Tickets are on sale now.
