Yep. You have to be careful about those nasty microphonics. Braided copper is quiet.

Too much microphonic sound with the $70 black Hart cable for me. Plus, part of the cable became twisted and caused me worry about it's durability. Communication with them regarding these issues was disappointingly not great. The cable did sound great though. Now, I have a braided ChiFi copper...

I have really grown to love the DT700 Pro X. Pairing it with the AQ Cobalt is a delight. The sound for me is actually similar to the Meze 109s. Very happy with them. :)

So I bought a 99 Classic open box. Loved it. Was tempted by the 109s. So I returned the 99s and bought the 109s thinking that they would be a big upgrade. They are good. They are a keeper for me indeed. But then, I began to miss the 99s. So I recently picked up a like new Noir for a great price...

A simple copper wound cable is great. It's true that the microphonics are quite disturbing with outside material like the one pictured. In my experience as well, the material often twisted on the cable making me wonder about its durability. Plain, simple metal is better.

Haven't tried it. Looks pretty, but too expensive for my tastes. I have a $25 cable that works great for me.

That''s what I'm gonna do! :) Thanks for validating.

Greatly improved sound quality with the copper cable. Absolutely great for me.

I've got a fantastic copper cable for the 109, but I can't fit the phones in the case and then be able to close it with the cable connected. So, I take the cables off and attach them again once they're out of the case. I don't think that really makes for a wear and tear issue on the connections...

I have the navy and it suites me fine. Tasteful you know.

No discernible crackling for me. I use the Creative BT W5 on my MBP with the 5909. Great aptX on the Mac.

Here is the url for the cable I purchased from Hart Audio: https://hartaudiocables.com/collections/meze/products/dual-3-5mm-cable-for-meze-99-and-109

Gracias!

Well, I've got 14 days to return the Harts if these sound better. I scooped em up. We'll see. Thanks.

I just received a standard 4.4 mm., balanced cable for the 109s from Hart Audio. I must say that I wasn't expecting much of an improvement in sound over the stock cable. Well, to my surprise, they sound significantly better; just a richer and more full sound than before. Plus, the cable is made...

Just great. I'm addicted to these 109s. Just a simple, beautiful setup. 109s connected to an iBasso DC06 Pro through Audirvana on my 2023 MBP M2. I've been around for a long time but hearing Carly Simon's "You're so vain" on these things is like hearing a completely new song. I'm always striving...

Yes, that's all that matters. Whew! :)

All of a sudden the app picks up 100%. Thanks for your advice. Appreciated. Had me going there for a moment. So how long to charge? The light just went green. A little over 2 hours.

i've been charging these for 2 hours. light still looks amber. On the app, the charge still shows 29%. Not sure it's charging. Any suggestions or input?

I recently managed to get a hold of a Meze 109. It sounds great with a portable dac. But there is something about the 5909 using the BT W5 on Blue tooth that is just sublime. I have to say that, even wireless, the 5909 is just wonderful compared with the Meze. I know that might sound funny, but...

I use Audioquest Cobalt or iBasso DC06 Pro for really good results on my MBP.

The 5909 sound is really stunning. The more I hear, the more impressed I am. fantastic with the BDT 600. I am a real fan now.

I don't know who came up with term "update." A euphemism for a roll of the dice.
