HI-FI SHOW: Meze Audio 109 PRO Headphones to be showcased at StereoNET Hi-Fi Show
Fresh off the back of their debut at Munich High End show last week, Meze Audio's brand new 109 PRO headphones will be shown for the first time in Australia at the 2022 StereoNET Hi-Fi & AV Show in Melbourne, June 3rd-5th.
Made in Romania, the newest addition to the Meze Audio lineup are the brand's first dynamic open-back headphones. Combining an open-back design with a walnut wood chamber that follows the unmistakable aesthetic language of Meze Audio, the 109 PRO is precisely engineered to deliver an exceptional soundstage and a highly detailed, enveloping sound, with just the right amount of punch.
Mircea Fanatan, Managing Director of Meze Audio, told StereoNET:
With this headphone, we have proudly achieved our goal of delivering the same level of workmanship found in Empyrean and Elite, at a lower price point. We know that fans have high expectations from us so, when making the 109 PRO, our goal was to build something to surpass those expectations. We focused a lot of resources on sound development, and I think the result is sublime.
In true Meze Audio fashion, the 109 PRO blends together carefully selected materials such as walnut wood, zinc, and manganese steel, assembled together using only nuts and bolts, making this headphone fully and endlessly serviceable.
Antonio Meze, Lead Designer and Founder of Meze Audio added:
At the core of it all, music is an expression of emotion, a celebration of life and a token of everlasting memories. Every part of the 109 PRO headphones, from the premium materials we used to the intricate engineering, embodies that same emotion our favorite music makes us feel. We're extremely happy to finally have it ready and show it to everyone in Australia at the StereoNET Hi-Fi Show.
The 109 PRO will be available for listening sessions at the Radiance AV Booth (E5, Level 1) at the StereoNET Hi-Fi & AV Show, June 3rd-5th, at the Pullman Mercure Hotel, Albert Park, Melbourne. Tickets are on sale now.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
