About 109 Pro Bihîstok

109 Pro bihîstokeke paş-vekirî ye ku ji bo guhdarîkirina muzîkê hatiye çêkirin. Ev sêwiran modela yekem a dînamîk a paş-vekirî ye ji Meze Audio. Ajokereke dînamîk a 50 mm di şasiyeke de cih digire ku dara gûzê, zînk, pola, çermê vegan û velûrê bi hev re dike yek, û her yekîneyek bi destan tê montajkirin. Benda serî ya xwe-eyarker giraniyê bi awayekî wekhev li ser şêwe û mezinahiyên cuda yên serî belav dike. Balîfên velûrî dora guhan digirin û di dema danişînên dirêj ên guhdarîkirinê de nerm û hewagir dimînin. Bihîstok dikare ji hev bê veqetandin û tamîr bibe, ku ev jî temenê wê yê bikêrhatî dirêjtir dike.

Unique Properties: The first dynamic open-back headphone from Meze Audio, 109 Pro goes beyond the faithful reproduction of sound to deliver pure emotion. An artistic take on functionality, the chassis combines premium materials in a comfortable, lightweight, yet highly durable design.
Dimensions & Packaging: 100 mm Width x 90 mm Depth x 210 mm Height
Tags: headphones, audio, woodwork, industrial design, modern design, avant-garde
Production Technology: In a world of fast paced technology, the 109 Pro bets on proven fundamentals. With a 50mm dynamic driver and a structure that combines walnut wood, zinc, steel, vegan leather and velour, the headphone is assembled by hand with ultimate precision and attention to detail. Crafted with utmost care for sustainability, the 109 Pro can be taken apart and serviced endlessly if ever needed, which can extend the life of the product beyond limit.
Design Challenge: The biggest challenge was to deliver the same level of workmanship found in our top of the line products, to create an aesthetically pleasing structure and a sound to match all listening preferences and setups, and still be able to keep the cost of the product low.
Research: The 109 PRO was created with one purpose - to create joy, to allow the listener to get lost in sound without any distractions. In order to meet the acoustic goals set for the 109 Pro, we focused our R&D efforts on materials research, looking to build a structure that would maximize the sonic abilities of the headphone. Over a time span of 3 years, various prototypes were tweaked and tuned, until arriving to an ideal form that would be as beautiful looking as it is comfortable.
Inspiration: Meze Audio was born out of pure passion for extraordinary sound, timeless aesthetics and good craftsmanship. To this day, the philosophy remains unchanged. Through an integral approach, without cutting short on quality, build or performance, Meze Audio aims to blur the barriers between headphone design and artistry, and create inspiring, meaningful experiences. The 109 Pro is the expression of all of these values.
Project Duration: The project started in 2019 and was finalized in May 2022. After a series of teasing events, the product is set to be officially launched in September 2022.
Operation Flow: The 109 Pro is all about comfort. Once placed on your head, the headphones have to become unnoticeable, leaving you with nothing but the music. The self-adjusting headband spreads the weight out to deliver even pressure for any head shape and size. Velour cushions comfortably surround the ears, providing the optimal seal to create an emotionally engaging sound. As velour is far softer and more breathable than leather, it also prevents sweat and overheating during lengthy listening sessions.
