A Legacy of Beauty and Craftsmanship

Born from the heritage of Meze Audio’s original 109 Pro, Primal is a journey of organic shapes and contours that narrate a story of Meze’s dedication to artistry and craftsmanship.

Nestled in the forests of the Northern Carpathian Mountains in northern Romania is Maramures. As locals of this culturally rich region, the philosophy of life for the Meze Audio family is woven together with the forests surrounding them, and they are taught to appreciate and respect the craft of wood working early in life. With Primal, Meze embraced this deep-rooted skill and honed it into a new perspective of headphone design using one of the best headphones ever created.

Artisanal Workmanship and Finish

Each wooden earcup has been meticulously chiseled, groove by groove, and delicately sanded to ensure the smoothest feel. Linseed oil is then applied to grace the sculpted frames. This final touch infuses the wood with a natural, matte texture that accentuates its grain and restores its innate, captivating color.

A Synergy of Beauty, Elegance and Uncompromised Sound

The 109 Pro Primal is a testament of dedication to quality craftsmanship, offering an audio experience that binds natural beauty with timeless elegance, all in the palm of your hand.

The 109 PRO Primal truly highlights the “Graba strică treaba” principle of which all Meze products adhere. The Romanian expression which translates “haste ruins the work” is a philosophy that emphasizes the criticality of a proper time investment needed to produce something of worth and esteem.

As part of Meze’s Art Gallery Collection along with the Meze Elite Epoque, 109 Pro Primal represents a unique take on a classic design, but on the inside, it uses the same drivers, technology, and tuning (check out our review here) that brought 109 Pro Headphone of the Year accolades and awards.
