Review on 🎧 Meze 99 Neo Wired Over-Ear Headphones with Mic and Self-Adjustable Headband - Closed-Back Headset for Audiophiles, Gaming, Podcasts, and Home Office Use by David Perry

Revainrating 5 out of 5

These headphones might not be analytical, but they're fun.

So first things first, if you're looking for an analytical sound, it's either because you mix it yourself, or because you're the kind of person who wants to hear music exactly like them Folks who has them, then these headphones may not be for you. These aren't "flat" headphones, the frequency response is really crooked. If you want something that gives you as neutral a sound as possible, buy a Sennheiser or whatever and enjoy your music that way. They are very well made, very comfortable, easy to repair, lightweight and most importantly FUN headphones with sound. To be honest, I think that's how most people who like beats think beats sound. Yes, they have heavy bass, but as with most other reviews, you'll find they don't drown out any other instrument because of it. Here you can listen to classic rock, jazz, orchestral music, etc. and (IMHO) don't feel like there's much missing. But where it thrives is in genres that have a lot of THUMP and you can feel that. And that's why these are GREAT headphones for gaming too. If you have a desktop mic and are looking for a fun pair of headphones to play with, the picture and low-end THUMP are good enough to use them competitively to some extent, but all the carnage too Listen. especially in most first person shooters. For those wondering what to compare against, I have two pairs of headphones that are commonly used by people who want a flatter analytical sound. MDR-7506s, Sony's professional mixing headphones that offer great voice clarity for the price but make a bit of fun because of it (they're just not built for that to be honest, but if you're watching a movie or a podcast or whatever still very good at it) and the ATH-M50x, classic Audio Technicas. While a bit bass-heavy for their reference style, they're still not as THUMPy as these mezes. And from three? I know which one I will associate with my computer the most. Technicas and MDR can accompany me on the occasional outing or to work, but when do I just want to have fun playing or gaming? You are excellent. The only problem I've had with them is that when you plug them into a PC they make sure they have a 3m 3.5mm chord. The one that comes with the Neo is a bit short for desktop use, so if you don't you'll be stuck pretty close to your PC.
