About the 109 Pro
The Meze Audio 109 Pro is Meze Audio's first open-back dynamic headphone, priced at $799. It features a meticulously tuned 50mm dynamic driver with a dual-composite diaphragm (beryllium-coated polymer and cellulose-carbon fiber composite) and copper-zinc stabilizer for reduced distortion (<0.1% at 1kHz). The open-back design provides a vivid, exciting soundstage with superior dynamics, imaging, full-bodied vocals, impactful bass, detailed mids, and energetic treble. Built with black walnut wood ear cups, zinc, manganese steel, and vegan leather, it offers exceptional comfort via velour ear pads and a self-adjusting headband. Low impedance (40Ω) and high sensitivity (112dB SPL at 1kHz, 1mW) make it easy to drive from portable devices or home setups. Includes cables (3ft and 6ft with 3.5mm TRS jacks, 6.3mm adapter), hard case, and 2-year warranty. Highly praised for build quality, comfort, and value under $1000.
