Balanced Sound Signature
In my experience, a balanced sound signature is like a well-cooked meal—nothing overpowering, everything in harmony. If you’re someone who listens to a bit of everything—rock one day, jazz the next—this is the tuning I’d recommend. It doesn’t boost any part of the sound unnaturally, so what you hear is often how the artist intended it. 🎧
Here’s what’s actually happening: the headphones don’t favour bass, mids, or treble excessively. This results in a neutral, natural, and versatile sound that suits a wide variety of music genres. While it may not feel as “exciting” as some more coloured tunings, balanced headphones tend to offer the most accurate reproduction, making them a favourite among audiophiles and studio pros alike.

Thick Bass / Kickass Bass
When I say kickass bass, I’m talking about bass that slaps you right in the face—in the best way possible. It’s that visceral, chest-thumping low-end that makes you feel like you’re in the front row of a concert or a nightclub. If you’re into hip-hop, EDM, Bollywood beats, or anything with a deep groove, this is where the fun begins. 🔊💥
Here’s what’s going on technically: the low-frequency range is heavily emphasised, resulting in powerful sub-bass rumble and impactful mid-bass slam. This kind of tuning brings weight, warmth, and physicality to your music. The trade-off? It might mask some midrange detail or high-frequency sparkle—but for bassheads, the emotional payoff is more than worth it.

Layered and Nuanced Sound
Imagine sitting in the second row of a grand music hall 🎼, where each instrument's placement creates a vivid sonic landscape before you. I believe these headphones recreate that precise spatial positioning, allowing you to distinctly perceive where each instrument would be on an imaginary stage. Think of it like watching an orchestra conductor - you can follow each section independently while appreciating how they work together in perfect harmony. The layered presentation ensures every element occupies its own distinct space while contributing to the whole.
This audio equipment creates a detailed listening experience where musical notes, overtones, and reverberations shine through clearly, keeping complex passages distinct and well-separated. The tuning excels at revealing subtle interplay between instruments and the natural ambiance of recording spaces 🎯.

Think of them like high-resolution cameras for your ears that reveal the finest textures and micro-details that most headphones simply miss.

Intro
Today we are going to talk about the all new open back version of the 99 classics well not really we're gonna be talking about all-new Meze Audio 109 Pro so let's get started.
Build & Design
So Meze Audio as a brand is really popular for their design and good looking products, I absolutely agree with Varun out here I mean there are a handful of brands in the audiophile world that pay attention to their products like Meze Audio does I mean just look at the 109 Pro the ear cups practically look like they're levitating this is something that only Meze Audio can achieve. So let's talk about the design, the earcups on the 109 Pro are made up of real wood and to complement that you have high quality velour ear pads and really good cushioning. Another aspect of the 109 Pro that I really like is this suspended headband now with this when you wear the headphones it practically feels like you're not wearing anything, the clamping pressure is close to nil and I really appreciate that.
Now the most important aspect of the headphone that I really like is that all the parts that you see on the headphone are easily replacable so if something goes wrong just get it replaced. Now this is truly amazing as it really extends the lifetime of the headphones.
Packaging
So talking about the things that you get in the box as soon as you open the package you see a really premium carry case, the headphone and two cables. Now you get one four feet long cable and you get another 10 feet long cable so you can use whichever one suits you according to your need.
Sound
Now talking about the most important aspect of this headphone which is a sound quality, Meze Audio for the first time have introduced a custom made in-house driver which they have never done before. Now what's really unique is the way that they've tuned these custom-made drivers it still offers that signature Meze warm sound but with just a little bit of oomph in the mid bass and the top end, now what that does it makes for a really engaging and fun listening experience, now that is something that I really look for in a headphone.
Karan's take
So 2022 was a great year with a lot of good headphones being released but the 109 from Meze Audio stood out for me for one reason and that was its warm tonality for that reason and that reason only I would pick up the 109 pro at any given day.
Varun's take
What I really like about the headphone is the way that it fits it's really comfortable for long missing session, and the warm and fun sound makes me go back to the headphone again and again.
