Imaging and placement is well done and it makes for a relaxed sound that is easy to dissect what is going onstage. Up first, Giggs’ Whippin Excursion (Landlord, SN1 Records) check, unblown and on point beat for beat, no boom. Thanks to the lightweight construction (260g without the cable) and a great headband construction Meze 99 Classics sits on your head very comfortably and it’s a pleasure to use, even for a long period of time.

If you’re looking for parametric filters, you’re going to have a rough time boosting the underemphasis between 1-3kHz, as it will require some hefty gain close to the cuts you’ll be making.Overall, the Meze 99 Classics offers decent isolation from outside noise, and will quiet the world around you well.

After another week with the Meze 99 Classics, we’re ready to share how this headset holds up in the modern age. It’s very attractive and very expensive, so you really need to be sure you’re willing to spend the money on a set of wired headphones before you take the plunge. Since this is the second Meze 99 review we have had on the site in the past few weeks, I thought, given the similarities between the original 99 Classics and the newer Meze 99 Neo, I would be more to the point and shorter in this review as what was said during the original review applies to almost every area of the Neos. br>
Sound quality that’s anything but wooden
With a string of sensational reviews, the 99 Classics are amongst the best-sounding headphones in their class.The Bass on the Meze 99 classics is full ranged and while powerful it isn't fatiguing or in the way.

The cups on the 99 Classics are dual entry but you will not find any left or right on these cups so it won’t matter a damn which jack goes into which cup. There’s also an included hard shell case if you don’t feel like putting that warranty to the test anytime soon. With the Brainwavz pads the treble was more tame but still had energy and the soundstage sounded more open. stars: The product is only about average or even somewhat below that and somewhat flawed/flawed in some areas. Between 4-9kHz, sounds are emphasized to a rather high degree in comparison to the surrounding ranges.When you look at everything dismantled in the picture below it is a surprisingly simple but effective build.

Compared to Hifiman Sundara is lacks definition and texture, but it’s a completely different approach to the sound, rather than being worse. Inside the case, as mentioned, you get the 99 Neo and then a small pouch full of the accessories, which you attach to the inside of the case with a velcro pad.Been pretty pleased with the sound on the whole and they are comfortable and easy to listen to for long periods.

The seal is not bad for a closed headphone actually though the memory foam is slightly stiffer than some other varieties I have encountered before but it does form well enough around the ear so you won’t find too many gaps.
