![]() ![]() They are well recorded and while the bass is once again well represented so too is the acoustic, the metallic sheen on the various percussive instruments and the massed strings. I love the Telarc Cincinnati Pops Orchestra recordings. Williams: Theme From "Superman", Cincinnati Pops Orchestra, Star Tracks, Telarc, Qobuz, 44.1/16 A key aspect of these transducers is their ability to allow bass to blossom a fade, they fast without cutting off the resonances of instruments. Using either Chord Mojo 2 or the Chord Hugo TT the Meze 109pro superbly render the music. This is a superb track with excellent engineering. The stronger elements of the music shine.Ī Thousand Years (Album Version), Sting, Brand New Day, A&M, Qobuz, 44.1/16 The Meze 109pro doesn’t negate this effect, but it is minimised. For instance, the track suffers from some spitting on the vocals. Interestingly when I play this track on my main system, I loved its bounce and energy, however I am a tad more aware of the track's engineering shortcomings, as I am through some other headphones I own. This is a layered recording and the Meze 109pro allows you to listen into it, IF that is what you want to do or just get carried away by the music.Īct Like You're in Love, Josephine Oniyama, Kindred, Sound of Solar Records, Qobuz, 48/16 I love that the cymbals, whether or brushed, have that metallic sheen, without at any time becoming sharp.

I keep just relaxing and enjoying what is being played. What I thoroughly enjoy about the Meze 109pro was their ability to render music, and make me just revel in it. Not in the detail & dynamics, although they are present and correct, or in their ability to allow you to follow individual instruments and render their resonances as they build and fade, although they too are on point. These are the first pair of Meze headphones I have listened to, and they have impressed me. Roon is hosted on a Vortexbox Audiostore Prestige 2 Server, when using my Chord Hugo TT and on my laptop, when using my Chord Mojo 2. The source was Roon, primarily Qobuz, with: There are a lot of principles that are shrouded by such terms and that have led to excellent products. The company wax lyrical about the development that has gone into these headphones, using such terms as: 50mm dynamic driver balance between mass and stiffness beryllium coated polymer absorption of vibrations and, neodymium magnets. Technical DetailThe technical specs for the Meze 109pro can be found HERE.

On opening the pouch I was pleased with the supply of two cables, 1.5 and 3.0 meter soft TPE cables. The whole works very well, and the ear cups are held in position very comfortably. As these expand and contract, depending on the size of your cranium, the inner headband is raised or lowered. The outer headband is a single metallic inverted U which separates into two narrow arms. ![]()
