Review on Upgrade Your Audio Experience with Meze 99 Classics Walnut Silver Wired Over-Ear Headphones with Mic and Self Adjustable Headband by Keiko Yapon ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Everything in the product suited me, the price is generally perfect.

I went to a well-known store (with my amp and 770mi, I had to listen through the phone) Listened to: CUSTOM One Pro Plus (+- dt770) CUSTOM Studio (+-dt770) m50x (outwardly it looks like a rattle, they sound good, but did not hook) dt250 (wow sound (soft, detailed), but did not sit comfortably on the head) Focal Listen Pro (wow sound (somehow they sound different than everyone else), but did not sit comfortably on your head) Meze 99 Classic. In general, the next day I bought Meze 99 Walnut Noir! The fears were the following, reliability, not velor ear pads (and I sit at the computer a lot). I smoked a bunch of forums and looked at all the 2022-language reviews on YouTube and about 5 foreign ones and I’ll immediately dot the i’s regarding the minuses. - stink of glue - nonsense. There is a smell of new technology, if you want the smell of a new car interior, this is if you sniff earbuds right up close, yes, but no more. Regarding the material. Yes, the cups are actually made of wood. PU leather earbuds are not real leather (for buyers, by the way, google the CUSTOM One Pro Plus photo after a year of use, everything is bad there). And PU leather is a high-quality polyurethane of the highest quality. And in my experience, after 5 hours in a row they don’t sweat, but it’s a little hot relative to the 770s, but everything is fine. - drumming bass. Headphones of THIS level are demanding on the sound source! In the store with xiaomi, yes, there was a boom. At home with a so-so source (by audiophile standards) X-Fi is all good! - concerning reliability. I found a photo on the player's forum after a year and a half of use and they were like new. This finally convinced me to buy. I came home and started comparing head-on with the dt770. Meze turned out to be head and shoulders above! They are beautiful, very. They are more detailed, a little wider on the stage and MUSICAL! 770s for work all the same. In these you get high even without warming up. Maybe they are not as honest and pure as the 770s, but more vivid and emotional. The 770 are great headphones, but the meze 99 is love at first listen. They are bass, accurate, pleasant, warmer in sound. I am extremely pleased!

Pros
  • They are magical! - Gorgeous design. Sensitive attention to detail. They look like a lot of money. - Gorgeous sound. Wide stage (they play straight to the head, there is no that slightly detached stage a little behind like the dt770). Great detail. Excellent positioning in games (CS GO). Gorgeous bass, just wow (maybe against the background of the 770s, in which it was lacking, but here it’s very pleasant and voluminous). At the same time, good detailed tops and normal mids. Sound is the forte of these headphones! I listen to them in X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro + Musatoff ha-5se on my PC. Meze 99 in noir performance (and this is an analogue of Classic, only the color is different) replaced the Beyerdynamic dt770 80 ohm (my review of them is here on the market). It is felt that the Romanians treated their product with the highest quality, in everything!
Cons
  • I will write everything that seems to me not very good and it will be nitpicking, not shortcomings. - The design seems flimsy. Therefore, I treat these headphones more carefully, I stopped grabbing, tearing off my head with one hand (as I sometimes did with 770s). Carefully take off / put on with two handles :) - The plugs are hard to get out of the cups, you can scratch the varnish when removing. - The main wire is thin and does not seem reliable (it is the same as on the Razer Deathadder Elite, although on the mouse after 6 months everything is ok with it). - When touching / tapping the darlings (while wearing headphones), their dull ringing is heard (not pleasant).
