I will never get bored of the sensual design and build of the Meze 109, it makes me happy just to see them sitting on my desk.
Never change. The way you get energetic when you love a product is how I know to give it a try 😂 I need your flailing arms for confirmation
Welcome to Yet another episode of ‘Zeos loves everything’.
But based on my limited research on the internet, Everyone seems to love everything about this product.
Well done Thieaudio.
Even a broken Zeos is right twice a day..
Loves everything? Fiio wishes that were true. But it aint.
@@ZReviews Like a blind squirrel finding a nut once in awhile
Thanks for the introduction to this technology and your honest opinion. Always appreciate your time and effort to help us get the best audio equipment.
My Thieaudio Ghost arrived a few days ago. So far, I have to say that these deserve every bit of praise you gave them! Wow. I have not tried the Meze pads yet (still on preorder). The last headphone that impressed me this quickly was the Sony CD900st. Thank you, Zeos!
Hey Zeos, love your vids. You're the reason I got into audio. My first recommendation of yours was the Audio Technica MTH-40X with the cowhide pads from ZMF. Very recently got my T4 Plus and Blon B50's. Hoping to add this as the 7th recommendation of yours that I have bought
Edit: Boom just ordered it
Thanks Zeos! I am getting them. I have done this so many times after watching your channel and do not ever regret it! Keep up these finds! I still rock my Phillips Fidellio cans you recommended years ago, love them! I can not afford Meze 109's but do have the Meze classics to get me by. Keep doing what your doing.
I have the Fidelity X1S and loves it. I also bought the MB Quart Bluetooth adapter for use specific to x1S and X2HR models.
Not to be a buzz kill, but i'd look at other YT reviews on these before buying them....the other reviewers aren't gushing over 'em nearly as much as Zeos is.
Mine arrived today. perfect fit. perfect sound. I'm using a FIIO K5 Pro on medium gain. The cable is strangely great. Imaging is great. Pads work well enough for me. Satisfied for my budget.
Jesus Christ Zeos, you almost made me bought these. But I looked at my left and remembered I have 560S and Edition XS. You have unironically, the most contagious energy for buying unnecessary audio equipment XD Not this time, gonna save for Meze 109 Pro
I would never tell someone to not buy the Meze. Just know when you have them you can get a cheap clone and use them in hazardous areas.
@@ZReviews stop it you monster ❤️
@@eremzet DO IT DO IT DO IT. I got Sundaras and I am about to do it.
@@NamsStreams I think if you have Sundaras the next logical step is Empyreans?
The hype is real. These are good even forgetting the price. They fit my head like a glove--light and comfortable. They look nice and they're well built. Vocals are crystal clear. Sound stage is nice. The bass is nicely textured. The treble is not too hot. It's very, very, enjoyable and a winner. Oh, and they don't leak sound too bad--more like a semi-open. I can sit next to my wife (6ft.) while she's watching TV and not drive her crazy with my music. Thank you Zeos.
great videos. when i need audio i come to you. im def on the cheaper end and you cater to that. i will prolly buy these now. thanks!!!
Z, Thanks for the Mimic link. Ordering this week. Best, D.
Love it. Thanks bro!!
Z, Your Beyer-Dekoni video was very helpful to upgrade my TYGR's. Best, D.
The highs are incredible. I can crank the volume to the moon. And everything is sharp and crisp.
just ordered mine, will report back with my thoughts 🎧
FYI, I cut the foam out of my ghost's pads and it made a pretty significant difference IMO. Just putting that out there for anyone curious. fold over the leather flap if you do it and carefully cut close to the pad and you'll even be able to put them back in if you want to.
im thinking about doing this to mine, what do you mean by fold over the leather flap
@@bendover7988 there is a flap that holds the pad to the headphones that you need to flip the opposite direction so you don't cut it. Maybe it is better to say that you need to roll it onto the pad so that it's out of the way.
@@D4rk51d332 i cut them out and it made a big difference, it sound alot more wide and warmer
@@bendover7988 Glad to hear that I wasn't imagining thing's. Unless we both are 😂😂😂 that's doubtful though. Glad it worked out for you!
I just ordered them, I will update here when I get them! Love you zeos
Update after 1 day of listening. They are really good, detailed enough, relaxed and smooth with nice staging. A nice addition to my collection :)
Update 2, I bought the 109 pros to compare. The ghost are SCARY close to the 109's. I still prefer the 109's though. Hopefully this is my endgame for a little while 🤣
Burn in and watch the magic happen.
Did you take the foam out of the pads of the Ghost, or swap the Ghosts pads?
My Ghosts arrived yesterday - $116US from Linsoul. Definition of a bargain. Thanks Zeos.
Dammit Zeos you sold me on the ifi Zen dac v2, and now on this =P
Wait just a minute........ Linsoul made my daily EARphone, the legendary T2!
wish I found this channel in december, would have bought this headset over the DT770 32ohms
Wow! Z, I am sold!
I got mine yesterday morning. I have no idea what the Meze 109s sound like, but I think the Ghost sounds almost as good as the Quad ERA-1. Remarkable.
How is the sound shaping up with use?
I've just bought the ifi air can and use it with my sennheiser hd535 headphones, these seem like the ideal replacement as they'd have to fly under the wife's radar
Great and funny review.
I've had these for about a month now and I got the 109 pads in the mail finally last week. Before that I just had cut out the foam in the center. I do think the 109 pads improve the sound further beyond exposing the driver with the stock pads. It seems to firm up the bass a lot. They're a warmer/darker sounding headphone which is my style anyway so I'm having a great time with them. Also the 109 pads are very comfortable.
Thanks for the update. I'm glad at least someone is getting those 109 pads. Still waiting on mine. Idk why Mimic took the page down. A "sold out" status would have worked. Taking the page down just leaves people who have already bought wondering if they should continue waiting or seek a refund. What you describe certainly sounds worth the wait, though.
Frack!, because of you, I have the MuseHifi M3 Dac, iKKO Asgard OH5 and now these on the way! (bows down) (bows down) 🙏
Muse M3 is amazing.
Got me again Zeos. 😂 Order is in lol
I'm just glad i stopped being angry about spent money years before i got the 109s^^ You just bought something when a new product comes out for a fraction of the price you paid and 99% of the same specs as the product you bought. It's simply a universal law ;) Thanks for the info though, Zeos🤣 - this might become a cheap alternative to wear outside the house.
The cables that come with it are like antennae for noise. Hart cables had mini right hand cables that fixed the problem with the stock cables rubbing on your shoulders. The color of the connectors matches the gold accent ring. I got the Meze ear pads. My ears don't touch the plastic face now and it does seem to sound better. Watch a meze pad installation video. I used a burnishing tool to stretch the edge around.
On Tull, Too old to Rock and Roll Remaster, the detail and dynamics were impressive.
You are best Mr. ZUltra ☝️ love ur videos 💯
I was daily driving 109 for almost two month , it definitely sounds better than my clear mg and Arya stealth . And this time I don't want to believe this ghost thing can really compete with it.
lol everybody just jeez all over the 109, glad that thieaudio destroy it xD
Will we find out..
@@ZReviews Anyway Z, I recently bought ADX5000 and I agree with you about it, they scale really good and show me exactly what is well recorded. Not coloring just the truth
Well, I impulse ordered a pair of these based on this review. $160 with shipping. Hope they don't turn out to have quality control or reliability issues!
Same.. Even more worried than you!
Thanks for the show recommendation. If this is like the 109 then I'll probably get it at some point just to see if the 109 is worth saving for.
And I'm Italian and talk with my hands too lol. I'm assuming some people are mistaking your increase in hand movements as clowning around when you're really showing excitement non verbally. I've accidentally hit people because I get so animated lol.

i'm getting these tomorrow, i hope they are as good as he says. i really need a new openback headphone.
so far they haven't dissapointed at all. i'm enjoying music more now. and the openness is good. sound does leak quite a bit. so be mindful of that.
ok, next purchase. thanks!
Chifi Audio did a review of these and he also loved this. He even compared this with HD600.
Not neutral enough for 600. Way more silky smoothness. But positive reviews are positive.
On sale for $116 currently... Bought immediately. Thanks Zeos!
Exactly the same here!
@@TheScotchaholic 49 euro now :p
I am going to put you on my tax filing as a dependent. I've just recently purchased Kinera Nanna 2.0 and then the 2.1s. Now I have to buy the Ghost.
Ghost are a drop in the bucket compared to the Nanna.
Brainwavz oval, oval hybrid, etc….the whole oval family will work with these. Rotate the pads as you are putting them on, 5 mins, and yes, quite a change in sound. The brainwavz mesh over the drivers is much thinner than stock ones. Cheers, and thanks for the review here, really enjoy these more without the financial bite!
Z, l saw an ATHENA vs Ghost video (That is a thing) made me watch this video again, And I just smile. Thank you again for the "Z" Ghost mod. Best, D.
happy to use your link Z and send some commision your way. I have a lot of cans that you have recommended and have never been disappointed. Do you have my ears? ordered within 30 seconds...
can confirm high quality of Ghost. Good tonality, solid technicalities, great soundstage. An engaging and exciting set of cans. All for £110 and straight out of the box with supplied pads...now where are my 1540 pads...nice one Zeos
10:27 I don't think I've heard Zeos' voice change that dramatically from hyped to calm before 😂
Well, I know what my son's getting for his birthday!
Funny how this works. I got mine the other day and ended up returning it because while dynamic and capable, the vocals had a tinny, harsh quality to them. So while the sound had good body and slam, it sinultaneously sounded a bit harsh and tinny in the upper range. Certainly not the smoothness I was expecting. Quite the contrary, at an aggressive and dynamic sound. I wonder if perhaps there is some QC issues still, since the reviews of the Ghost are not very uniform across reviewers.
Z, The Mimic page is gone. Do you have another pad swap for the Ghost? Best, D.
Using them with Brainwavz Oval Hybrid Angled Earpads. Could be my endgame. Thx Z!
Hey, do they fit directly or do you need any Adapter Earpad ring? Thx
I'm greatly thankful for this recommendation.
Got mine today. They truly are unbelievably good at this price point.
Edit: You MUST cut the fabric, it muffles the sound so much. I just did, now they're even better. Bass is way cleaner, highs are crazy crisp. It makes the soundstage a bit wider as well.
I was thinking of doing this. Wondering what pads are available that are the same as stock so I can mod them without messing up originals
How did you cut the fabric if you don't mind me asking I just got mine today
@@bootysalad i've carefully cut it out with nail scissors. I tried to cut as much so that the rest of the fabric is below the cushioning. Be carefull not to cut into the cushioning.
@@madmatt151 quite literally shure SRH1840 pads I believe
Can I drive this with a phone? And used them for xbox?
I demoed the 109 yesterday and ordered the Ghost today. I will report back if the 109s are actually worth $670 more.

Replying so I get notifications :)
Yip
I live in Germany and unfortunately (as almost) I‘ve to wait probably a year or so before I can catch them 😢 WTF, like a Ghost 😂😂😂 Thx Z for the great review…. As always 👊🏻
At first I didn't think I liked the headphones, but then I realized the reason they felt so alien to me is that the headphones had a warmer tone than what I was used to, but once I got settled in, I found that I kept wanting to go back to it despite having a good range of open backs in my collection.
I ordered it god damn it! Iam soooo curious!!!!!!
Me too, plus had coupon from Canjam NYC made them 99
it seems a good deal!
Ordered.
aaaand here's another set I don't need and yet why not. Their build is good, the sound seems really good too. heck, I'll paint them
Paint away
This guy literally listens to headphones for a living. What a life 🎉🎉🎉
Yeah its not bad. But what do you do I do in my time off?
Oh its anime , thats pretty good too.
@@ZReviews i can see you have a good taste in anime, just from you desktop backgrounds.
I bought my Audio Technica MTH-40X from one of your videos several years ago. They just hit the floor today and broke the ear pad off... So first thing I do is check in to see if you have anything new to recommend. Thanks for the reviews, I'll be ordering these today.
How does it compare to ath 40x
@@alostcat Honestly? They sounded fine but I hated the fit for me so I stopped using them.
@@codemonkeyattack In terms of sound?
@@alostcat like I said they sounded fine
try to put the driver housing of the Ghost's on the frame of the SHURE - and you got yourself a superb headphone :)
BROOOOOOO😭WHY
Just almost saved enough for meze after your recommendation and then I see this😭
No I don feeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel like getting it😭
Might go for the focals now😓
So is there a cheap DAC we should buy to push these new headphones?
Alright screw it I'm in, you crazy bastard. 🎉
Report back, put down the haters
@@ZReviews lol
@@ZReviews 2 things: 1. I'm nobody 2. I daily drive Sundara balanced on a zen stack with gto filter +12db. I ran these balanced and I cut out the center of the ear pads to improve clarity. These are light, good padding on top and around ears. The attack and decay are quite fast, detail is great especially at this price. They don't resolve instrument separation as well as the sundara and the sound stage is more intimate to me. THE TUNING MADE MY PANTS PITCH A TENT. The money definitely went into the driver. The pads clamp a bit at the bottom of my small head and there is a chemical smell at first. I don't give a sh*t about that these genuinely sound very good. Very pleasant and velvety, like a silky smooth pair of legs in my hands. The audio here is the equivalent of turning up saturation on a TV
Impulse buy, let's gooooo. But self-control said noooo. Rational mind says... if I sell my HIFIMAN he400i's for even half price, it's basically free. Maybe.
For what it's worth, I bought the Maze pads and found that I prefer the original ones way more. Vocals are more forward sounding with the original pads to my aging ears. Very nice headphones in any event.
Comfort improved I imagine.
Yes, they did...
Were the vocals attenuated due to more bass? Didn't get it from the review if the Meze pads increased the bass or not.
Awesome headphones. Can't describe them, they just sound great.
I am curious what will be the development for the M1060C. Sound similar, but higher sound quality. To make them match with ifi zen dac v2.
Audeze Lcd 2 classic, Fostex TH610, ATH-W1000Z and ATH-WP900 is there anything else interesting or which of these will be the best?
Sorry if I missed it, watched at work so did a quick watch. But did you try the 1540 pads on these? I have some extra ones laying around and would cut the foam out to not block the driver cause they are so comfy.
I haven't tried. I may shortly.
Now this was a great review but....these headphones for gaming...? Driven on say....fiio e10k. Would they be better than the DT 770 Pros? We all know some headphones are remarkable for music but are really underwhelming for gaming. Thoughts?
My Takstar 82 pros just carked it so this review was perfect timing 👌, just ordered them using your link. Would these be a decent upgrade from the takstars?
I think so. Gonna be a wild ride the 82s are so nice to wear.
@@ZReviews Yep super comfy. I actually had the takstar hi 2050s before the 82s, and I thought the 2050s were a little bit comfier actually, the ghosts have a similar shape and style to them so I'm hoping they have similar comfort levels :)
Ok so now should I get these or still go for the Modhouse T60RP argons?
Zeos. This is a silly and stupid idea but a potentially great one at the same time, what if we were to jerry rig the foam filter to expose the drivers through the stock pads. You reckon it would get pretty close to the sound quality. Granted, imma wait patiently to try and get the Meze pads but very tempting to try the former first.
zeos ur making me buy stuff i dont need again
Have you seen my IEM channel? ua-cam.com/channels/muv5SNK1NYi5mtZHJqKXSg.htmlvideos
these or Rode NTH-100 ?
i just want a good pair to be able to hear myself wile recording vocals
that arnt to low and give me a good balance of my mic sound and the baking track i use to have some Sennheiser HD 280 PRO but they died and wanted to try something a bit better
i wont lie when ever i want to buy new headphones your channel is the one i come too lol thats how i even got the Sennheisers as well as the portal pros but same thing they died and although they were great for hearing music not so much for hearing vocals through my mic but still good
Update on my order of Thieaudio Ghost: Ordered them direct from Linsoul on Mar 19 and still have not received them. Their shipping department seems dazed and confused. I suppose I will wait a little longer before considering cancelling my order.
How would the thieaudio ghost compare to the focal clear ?
Can you add the FiiO UTWS5 the way you adapted them in your past video with the Ghost to make them wireless?
I wonder how these stack up against the Hifiman 400SE
If I wanted to connect these to my phone, what would be the best way to power them and ensure the best quality in sound?
Love your content & Subbed now can I have a spare pair of headphones??? I'd take the ones you hate the most😉
Just picked them up. Any update on when the 109s pads will be available? The link in your description doesn't work still.
I got the58x jubilees I’ve had them since they came out and have loved them but I have been thing about getting something els should I upgrade to these?
OK, so I bought them!!!
0:13 started with cowboy bebop. I'm in
You have remarkable taste. Could you please recommend some other anime shows? I've seen some of the mainstays but get overwhelmed with the sheer volume of shows. Thanks for the girls on tour recommendation!
How is the Ghost with 1540 pads? What is your favorite headphone that can take a 1540 pad?
Nice! Would they be good gaming alternatives for the AKG 7XX or the Røde NTH-100?
Id think so.
gaming is very enjoyable with the ghost but you wont get much low end
well I hope the Meze pads become available. Maybe some Brainwaves might make them feel better I will have to try. But yet again, you got me to spend more money. I was actually going to buy the Meze 109's for myself, but I feel like you sold these to me and the price was way too damn good to not try them. I have high hopes
Get the Brainwaves, they fit and are better than the stock pads for £25/£30, compared to the Mezo's pads being £80.
@@Deleteyourself83 I have the brainwavz velour pads, they are memory foam and changed the sound signature to being very dark. Currently I have the perforated sheepskins from Dakoni that I bought for my DT880s on them and they give it a very unique sound that I have been enjoying. I couldn't find a brainwavz that wasn't memory foam. They are crazy comfy though. Just don't enjoy the darker sound.
I picked up the Fidelio X3's for $135 last year. So these are outperforming those? These broke you and going broke watching your vids! Wouldn't change a thing. Still love you! :)
Interested in this too, how does the Ghost compare to X3's?
Do I add these to the hundreds of headphones I already bought because of you?
Z, Did the Mimic pad, fall through? Up date on other swaps; ( Meze 99, Dekoni 99 pro). For now, from Amazon I'm ordering the Meze 99 pro pad, Lg. Best, D.
Thumps for delivering enjoyable content for years. Can someone give me a good recommendation for the best bang for your buck amp (or amp/dac combo) to run these and future above average headphones?
I am going to say XDuoo TA-22 if you have $500. The dual DACs are great and the sound is amazing with a tube upgrade (another $50 at least)
@@bongofury3176 thanks for the reply! Watched Zeos vid on them. They look fantastic but 570 here in Euroland might be a bit steep. The FiiO K7 (or maybe Xduoo MT-604 ) also look pretty interesting.
@@Klunk3r yes - expensive in europe. i also have mt604 with voshkod tubes (25euro) - very good but you need a 4.4mm or XLR cable. Is probably best value amp I own
i would recommend Yulong/Daart Canary 2 or Fiio K7. I myself uses Topping E30+A50s combo with my HD600 and Shure SRH440. I'm not sure if these are too overkill for a 60ohm unit like this.
I need a new recommendation for closed back since my RODE NTH-100 are so fragile (the same clips have broken on 3 pairs with light handling), I was hoping these were it but they are Open back :(
Zeos, would you recommend the Thieaudio Ghost over the Fiio JT1?
ive got some change to spare gonna see how these compare to my phillips x2hrs
It was about time someone started making actually affordable Mezes, 'cos Meze themselves have turned out to be infuriatingly unwilling to do that.
ChiFi is changing the whole market.
you convinced me
Does it compete with the Sennheiser HD series?
i recently pick up shp9500 because of ur review, umm how is this compared to that shp9500?
I live in sweden and I like your reviews a lot, so much that I ordered the pads from an American site for 120 euro in total 😢😢 and the headphones as well, they are not available in Sweden..
When was mimic going to put those pads back up?
