MEZE AUDIO 109 PRO > Stereophile Review

If Meze headphones have a house sound, and I were pressured to identify it, I would describe it as breathy, caressingly smooth, and nanodetailed. I am writing this story because that description applies equally to Meze's flagship Elite and Meze's new 109 Pro.

But when the lights are out, and I lay on the floor in my pile of pillows, I want sound that directs my attentions toward dream realms—toward the beautiful and psychedelic. Meze's 109 Pro excelled at that task. With every amplifier, the 109 exhibited a perfect right-brain/left-brain balance; beautiful sound and musical insight were celebrated equally.

Meze Audio's 109 Pro dynamic headphone joins the Klipsch RP-600M II, Magnepan LRS speakers, Elekit TU-8600 amplifier, and Pioneer PLX-1000 direct drive turntable as the products I am most proud to have introduced and recommended at Stereophile. I hope to find more such products in 2024.
