Greater than one weekFirst, if you’re seeking an audiophile review move on. I’ve had my share of earbuds but no headphones. These are far and away the best sounding I’ve ever listened to! And they are built of high quality materials. They block outside sound well enough so you can just focus on the music. If you are a runner or jogger these probably won’t stay put on your head with all the bouncing. These are for sitting listening to music. For this they are WONDERFUL sounding and comfortable. My two complaints are (1) They seem too loose for my head (2) My Long hair gets caught in between little spaces/gaps and it’s a pain to get it out without pulling or breaking off my hair. NOT good. Works better if I tie my hair back.

> 3 dayI bought these to replace my B&W P7s. The only reason being as I wanted a headphone with an easy option for a 2.5mm balanced cable connector for my Pioneer XDP-300R. The P7s should in no way be considered bad, Wicked Awesome. These... are different headphones. I am not gonna pretend I know Frank all about soundstage or anything like a real reviewer would write. I will only say that these too, are Wicked Awesome.

> 3 dayAbsolutely wonderful headphones. Paired it with my FIIO Amp and it gives me a full bodied sound. The balance between the bass, the mids, and the higher end is amazing for this price point. Love the amount of accessories it came with including different cables and an airplane adapter. The last headphones that I got with an airplane adapter were Bose Quietcomforts. These are miles above those with regards to sound quality. I found my new set of headphones for listening. These ones!

> 3 dayThese things are built absolutely beautifully. The fit of the parts is perfect, finish quality is great, and all the parts just feel substantial and well-made. The cable is also very well-made and should last a long time, and is replaceable which is a huge plus. I am not a huge audiophile, so my thoughts on their sound may differ. But I really love the sound of these, they have plenty of detail and midrange while also having a lot of bass. But again, my analysis of sound quality isnt super educated so take my untrained ears with a grain of salt.

Greater than one weekBeautiful. Great sound. Comfortable. Isolate sound well. Have had these for over a year and use them for watching movies at night. Bought Dakoni pads which are more comfortable than the stock ones. Perfect for movies since these are detailed with lots of substance in the base. Also great all-rounders if you can equalize them. Have a set of Qudelix 5xs which come with EQ profiles for this, which balances out the sound more favorably. Cons: Wish they hit faster

> 3 dayI bought these and the AKG 712 Pros and the Beyerdynamic DT880s headphones. The AKG 712s won the contest. The Beyerdynamic DT 880 came in second. These MEZE headphones are beautiful and come with 2 sets of cords and have the cords divide into the right and left inputs on the ear pieces. To be clear - these are quality headphones. However, I could not pull myself away from the spaciousness and reality of the AKGs. Also, to be clear, I am 65 years old and my hearing is a bit compromised. But, I had my wife ( who hears everything ) take a listen and she agreed. I listened to Billie Eilish, electronic EDM A sides and stuff like JP Saxe and Julia Pruitt. All of these are modern, high quality audio pieces. I listen through my iMac which feeds into the a Musicstream DAC and then into the Schiit Audio Magni amp. This also feeds my JBL Pro 5 powered speakers and a Jamo 8 sub. The sound I get with this without headphones is amazing. It is important to me that the headphones equal or surpass this. Sadly, the Meze dont quite reach this.

> 3 dayThe build quality is very good and the included cables are some of the best quality Ive seen included with a pair of headphones. Sound is overall decent with a focus on the low end. Impact is good, though it might be a bit too much for some people. Overall, a really nice product.

08-11-2024These headphones are the most comfortable headphones I have ever worn. They are very durable and portable. The sound quality is one of the greatest things that I have ever heard. Everyone I show loves them. They only have passive noise canceling so if you are looking for total silence this is not your set but the Walnut does a good job filtering out most of the sound!

Greater than one weekAs I suspected, the 99 Classic is easily worth the price. Of five pairs of hp I own, theyre the cheapest of all. But the sound from the 99 is very far from being cheap. Certainly more bass than my Oppo PM-3, even with upgraded ear pads.
