Meze. Can't. Make. A. Bad. Headphone. This is not an opinion. It's cold, hard fact. The people wanted an open-back dynamic headphone and Meze Audio heard them. The new 109 Pro might look like the 99 Classics, but there's a lot of good that comes from that inspiration.
I want to take a bit of a retrospective on the ever-popular 99 Classics. They're some of Meze's most affordable and arguably some of the best-sounding affordable closed-back headphones on the consumer market. Not only that, but the styling is second-to-none. Meze Audio is one of the few companies in my humble opinion that does a remarkable job marrying both beauty and great sound into a single product, no matter the price. The 99 Classics are actually some of our daily drivers here at the Moon Audio office headquarters, and I think that says a lot about what Meze has to offer to both consumers and audiophiles alike.
Given their popularity, it's no surprise that Meze has developed a new high-end, over-ear headphone in the same vein as the 99 Classics, only this time with an open-back design. After all, Antonio Meze hasn't come out with a bad headphone yet, and needless to say, I'm just more than a little excited to try the 109 Pro out and see what they have to offer. Let's get to it!
