It all started with one goal - to bring joy. It's about losing yourself in the sound to experience the intimate connection you have with your favorite artist, song, or instrument when all distractions are removed.

"Basically, music is an expression of emotions, a celebration of life, and a sign of eternal memories. Every part of the 109 PRO, from the high-quality materials we used to the sophisticated technology, embodies the same emotions that make us feel our favorite music."

Antonio Meze, chief designer and founder of Meze Audio.

EXPLORING NEW HORIZONS, STARTING WITH THE BASICS


DIAPHRAGM CONSTRUCTION

In a world of fast-paced technology, we rely on proven fundamentals. Our new dynamic 50mm driver, assembled and tuned with the highest precision, enabled us to push the boundaries of speed, accuracy, and dynamic range.

To achieve the acoustic goals we set for the 109 PRO, we concentrated our research and development work on material research for each individual component of the driver.

The effort to maximize the headphone's sonic capabilities began with the diaphragm, where we focused on finding the perfect balance between mass and stiffness.


Our research led to the development of the Dual-Composite diaphragm of the 109 series - a combination of beryllium-coated polymer and cellulose carbon fiber composite.

The stabilization ring made of a copper-zinc alloy serves to improve vibration absorption, with the choice of materials contributing to a significant reduction in distortion.

Next to the two are the lightweight and efficient neodymium magnet and the copper coil. Together, they are housed in a CNC-machined, high-precision aluminum frame that has proven to be extremely reliable.


The W-shaped dome made of carbon fiber-reinforced cellulose composite material is capable of reproducing high frequencies with incredible detail, clarity, and definition. This composite material is more durable than conventional alternatives used in dynamic drivers, yet lightweight and helps reduce resonances that can lead to harmonic distortion.



The ultra-thin torus surrounding the dome consists of a beryllium-coated semi-crystalline polymer with a thickness of 22 micrometers. By applying the beryllium coating using Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD), we aimed to increase the stiffness and durability of the driver while keeping it light enough to achieve fast transient response. These properties are also enhanced by the corrugations on the torus, which are precisely carved at a 45.5° angle.

The high damping properties of beryllium also help suppress unwanted resonances, giving the 109 PRO its neutral, lively, and transparent character.

The diaphragm, together with the neodymium magnet, is housed in a highly precise aluminum frame. The CNC-machined frame offers excellent stiffness, strength, and thermal stability to maintain surface flatness.


ACOUSTIC DESIGN


design


We wanted the 109 PRO to be lively and exciting through its open design, enabling the listener to connect with the music on a deeper level.

Carefully tuned by our in-house engineering team, it offers an emotionally engaging sound with great detail, clarity, and just the right amount of pressure. Its organic character, combined with outstanding dynamics, excellent imaging, and full-bodied voices, brings soul-stirring details to life. It can also be easily driven by most devices, whether portable sources or complex home systems.

The spider-shaped structure and the acoustically transparent grille inside the ear cup expose the driver from both sides, resulting in our most open radiation pattern to date.

Following the principles of anthropometry, we positioned the driver at a precise angle and distance from the ear to achieve the ideal anatomical fit.

Velour cushions comfortably surround the ears and provide an optimal seal to create a natural sound. Since velour is much softer and more breathable than leather, it also prevents sweating and overheating during longer listening sessions.

SUPERIOR CONSTRUCTION = SUPERIOR EXPERIENCE

The 109 PRO is all about comfort – from the headphone construction to the choice of materials, every decision was carefully made to ensure the final product meets our highest ergonomic standards. Once the headphone is on your head, it must remain unnoticed so you can fully focus on the music.

From this perspective, we have combined walnut wood, zinc, manganese steel, and vegan leather into a comfortable, lightweight, yet extremely durable structure.



SUSTAINABLY SOURCED WOOD

The black walnut wood we use for our headphones comes exclusively from sources with a certificate of origin and is harvested from mature trees that have reached the end of their life cycle. This way, the environment is protected and space is created for new life, while the old trees shine again in the form of a Meze headphone.


SUSTAINABILITY THROUGH DURABILITY

The 109 PRO is manufactured with the utmost care regarding sustainability. Since our decisions today can have a great impact on the world of tomorrow, we develop products that last a long time. We believe that a longer product lifespan means a smaller footprint.

Following this philosophy, the 109 PRO can be disassembled and endlessly maintained if needed, which can infinitely extend the product's lifespan.
