Meze 99 Classics Walnut Gold | Wired Over-Ear Headphones with Mic and Self Adjustable Headband | Classic Wooden Closed-Back Headset for Audiophiles

Works fantastic! Sounds great!

Im no audiophile. I just wanted good headphones to game with and listen to music. I used an equalizer and an apple usbc to 3.5mm adapter as an amp. To me, these sounds amazing. The bass can be headache inducing honestly if you arent careful with the equalizer. Soundstage seems pretty good for gaming. Ive always had issues with headphones being comfy for an hour or two and then you start to feel it. These are the most comfortable pair of headphones Ive ever worm. At first, it doesnt feel like you are wearing anything. Build quality is fantastic, I love how they look and the style. Im not sure I would use these for outdoor/outside use, they seem a tad flimsy and fragile? I havent tested it but that is just my 2 cents.

I have a few audio-technica headphones and they are more analytical. I was wanting a set of headphones that I could listen to and really feel the bass without drowning out the highs and muddying up the mids. These work perfect for that. Just a brilliantly fun headphone.

Got these as a birthday gift, after I mentioned them as an example of how a small company can produce a quality product and get some sales traction with honest reviews on the web (a gift from friends, I have no relation to the vendor). They sound spectacular, I already had a couple of decent IEMs but these things somehow manage to make music sound even more fun, as has been described by people with way more experience than me. They are light, nice looking and seem well put together. Everything sounds great, from portable sources like a Sony Walkman to a Blackberry Passport, to a Macbook pro connected to an receiver via an optical cable. Seriously if youre going to have one decent set of headphones, these might just be it, unless youre willing to spend a thousand bucks for headphones, another thousand bucks for an amplifier and so forth. I can hear more instruments and nuances, which is an easy way to tell you got better phones. Easy to recommend. They look very elegant in this silver finish, materials feel luxurious, and the brand made an effort to make things easily repairable, screwed in as opposed to glued, hopefully Ill never have to test that as Im very careful, the full size included case should help. Update: these sound so good they put my old Bose (I know) speakers to shame and made me want to upgrade, which I did with old, used gear (NAD, Q Acoustics). They are holding up well. Theyre not cheap but are a clear step above most entry and mid level headphones, for instance my ATH-M50, I can only imagine a Sennheiser HD650 sounding better, but in open cans (you can hear outside sounds and everyone can hear your music) that are not as portable. A decent DAC does make a difference, I got a Meridian Explorer to bypass my Macbook Pros sound card, it makes music addictive and just plain fun.

These headphones came in second in a review by a trusted site. Their backstory was so unique and their promise of a totally different experience so appealing to me, I decided to take the plunge. Wow! Am I glad I did. These headphones are very comfortable and so well made! The wood ear cups definitely add a smoother dimension to the sound. The bass is rich, yet, the highs are still very pronounced. I have had three sets of headphones and none of them came close to this quality. Frankly, this is a stunning edition to the headphones field and should seriously be considered by the shopper. I told my son they were “life-changing.” If you love music, you just might agree.

I bought these as entry into audiophile world and I am very impressed and happy that I bought. I heard things in old songs I never knew there. 10/10

These aint cheep, rather most would call these priced in enthusiast mid range area, but Ill be honest when I say, these sound like 1,000 dollar cans. Durable too! I drag these everywhere! they look so good Im gonna wear them at the park when the plague feels like its let up. (soon!) But if your reading this, on the fence, get them. These are amazing. If you have the extra, drop it on the silver cable and the recommended dac+amp to power it. (the silver cable has a smaller plug for more direct sound, as I understand it the left and right channels are their own thing with a good dac and have next to zero cross talk. in laymans terms your right ear hears things you left ear wont PLUS the cable is stronger and more snag resistant)

For the money fit and finish are exemplary The wood improves the sound It is comfortable and the headband is self adjusting There is a slight ear sweat in prolonged listening sessions do not necessarily recommend them for use Jin the rain I replaced the cable and earpads O am an audiophile The one negate thing for me is the earpads are not snap on. And the cable is designed to release under pressure. You might like that Highly recommended.

Some of the most comfortable headphones Ive ever owned. Excellent sound quality with low impedance, so no DAC necessary to drive them. Great looking too with the walnut cups and the gold accents. Easily recommendable.

Go to the website and see for yourself, high-tech , great engineering, WOW comfort and sound ! I am used to listening with a system of Paradigm speakers- Atmos setup , all Prestige level and Anthem Processor (AVM60) and Amps -A5 and PVA 4, I listen for the enjoyment of quality sound production, listening sessions are special times for me. I am blessed to be able to do this, so, I decided that I would try headphones , needed some for privacy and not disturbing others times. So, I began to explore new options, came across the Meze products, studied the company, read the reviews, and said ok, go for it.....well, very glad I did! The 99 Classics were all and some more added to the build-up. took the 1993 Pink Floyd “Pulse” DVD ,listened to disc 2 and became a member of the audience, immersed in the event. There is a lot I could say about the production of this masterful work/ music and light show production, but that is not the point, pick your own sources, the Meze 99 classics are very, very Good- for the $, a real steal of a value . Looking forward to my next selection of music from the collection of music DVD/ BluRay, maybe Bruce Hornsby “ Three Nights on the Town” concert or One of the Clapton “Crossroads” concerts... whatever, Try the Meze, I think you will enjoy them .
