good design, very comfortable and well worth it!!!
Two and a half years ago, when the Meze 99 Classics ($309MSRP) was introduced, I was given an opportunity to review them. I passed. In retrospect, after spending a good amount of time with them recently, I will readily admit that was a mistake.
Firstly I would like to thank Meze for sending me this sample, they have been used for well over 50hrs before writing this review.
One last thing, while I can feel the ear cups against my ears, I can't deny that my ears feel closer to the music without having to turn the headphones up to excessive volumes – and that feels kinda nice.
Meze set out to recapture the magic of the 99 Classics at a cheaper price, within a more contemporary shell and that's just what they've achieved with the 99 Neo.
So there you have it. It was almost a forgone conclusion after experiencing the 99 Neo that I would enjoy the 99 Classics but I didn't expect to enjoy them that much more. Yes, they sound very similar indeed. Yes, they look similar but there's just something about the 99 Classics that I love.
Fun and smooth, good value and nice looking; Provide two versions of pads
None at this price
Call me shallow, but I fell deeply in love with the Meze Classics 99 headphones even before I heard them. Those precision carved, hand-finished, solid wood earcups, stainless steel headband, self-adjusting headband strap, and sumptuous earpads all lend a luxury feel to the design, though the price...
Handsome design; Extraordinary build quality; Rich sound
Doesn't fold for compact storage
I collect headphones, usually buying 3-4 pairs a year. These headphones interested me first of all because of the way they look - there are very few wooden headphones out there. The next thing that piqued my interest was the fact that all the reviews I could find were positive. So I ordered a pair.
In 2013, I reviewed the Meze 73 Classics headphones . I liked the sound and the use of wood for the ear cups. It helped project a warm and friendly audio quality that was easy to listen to for hours. All this holds true for the new 99 Classics headphone.
Very comfortable; Well made; Natural materials; Warm and friendly sound; Great design; Nice protective case
Too expensive for commuting; Will not fold
The Meze 99 Classics blew through their Indiegogo campaign a couple of months ago and now we get to take a look at them. So was it worth the wait
Design; Sound; Very comfortable
Awkward control module placement; Price
