Not my best purchase, you could have found something else.

when buying meze 12 classcis, I expected to get a portable version of the full-size 99 classics model, which I also have and in general is very satisfied (well, sometimes I lower the midbass when I'm tired of hearing it, okay). but these! a solid middle that covers everything that is possible ! without an equalizer, you can more or less listen to only genres such as folk, classical and any easy listening. styles of music with overdriven guitar are very hard to listen to. everything turns into a

Pros
  • great sound detail. execution materials.
Cons
  • very specific sound for an amateur, the quality of the wooden case

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I expected mediocre quality, but it was a pleasant surprise.

I have been using headphones for about half a year, there are no questions about the build quality, design, reliability and materials used, everything is done at the highest level. For half a year, not a single scratch or chip on the case, provided that he treated them quite casually. The cable braid does not fray even in the most problematic places, such as: the transition from Jack 3.5 to the wire and the transition from the wire to the headphones, everything is protected by silicone…

Pros
  • The design is simply excellent, the wooden case will not leave anyone indifferent. Reliability is also not an unimportant detail in headphones, which is present at the highest level in this model, as well as the build quality as a whole. The sound here is also all right, excellent midrange and treble
Cons
  • Perhaps their main drawback is the price of almost $100. I would also like to note a drawback, or rather the almost complete absence of low frequencies.

Before buying, I recommend not only listening, but also paying attention to the fit, if they do not sit deep - that's it, the cable will twist a little, when straightened, the headphones are guaranteed to loosen in the ears. I walk with them like this: I listened and corrected for 5 minutes, listened again and corrected, I constantly need to push it more tightly into my ear. I also want to add that these are not hybrids, but the most ordinary dynamics, such a sound may seem boring to someone…

Pros
  • Build quality, though the cable has already broken near the plug.
Cons
  • - Although the wire is of high quality, it sometimes “curls”, and the “thickness” of the wire plays a cruel joke with me, it’s difficult to unravel, you unravel and the headphones fly out of your ears. This is exactly the minus, and in my opinion a big one, it’s one thing to make a high-quality cable, another thing is to test how it will behave, the meze 12 cable is sticky to the touch, unlike meze 11, where the cable is slippery (it’s easier to unravel). -In my case, a terrible landing, native ear pads do not stay in my ears, I change them to any others, the situation does not improve, the cases themselves stick out a little from my ears, and are held solely on the nozzles themselves. If you move the cases in your ears, they rotate, that is, there is no hard landing as such at all. -The sound for $80 could be better, these headphones lack details, they are not distinguished by analyticity, airiness. They play rather "softly" "dryly". -Design, it's just a classic form of plugs, for this money you could come up with something special. -Soundproofing is average, sometimes you walk down the street and want to enjoy the composition, but you don’t have enough bass, plus the soundproofing is not perfect, in this case I take off these headphones and put on cheap superlux. Therefore, this model is not suitable for bassheads, you will not get meat here, there is not enough bass. - Dear, 80$. -Near the plug on the cable sheath there were signs of a break, I'm afraid it won't last long.

The headphones sound amazing! You immediately pay attention to the volume of sound, timbre saturation, smoothness and smoothness of mid frequencies. It is felt that the frequency response is masterfully tuned, they worked on the sound for a long time in order to get the ideal. Headphones absolutely do not need any equalizer correction, moreover, the correction will only ruin them. The sound is comfortable, expressive and solid, very pleasant. It's the classic high-fi sound that the title hints…

Pros
  • Of course the sound is excellent! But more on that a little further. The workmanship, design and materials are impeccable. They play great even from a smartphone, and with a high-quality DAC they are immersed in waves of euphoria)
Cons
  • Claims only to the cable - it is not removable and a little microphone.

Goes very well with headphones

These Meze headphones seem very good for what they are. They clearly won't match a pair of over-ear headphones in terms of sound quality, but they do a very good job. For example, the bass will sag a bit more, but overall it's pretty well balanced. I love the fact that they don't make a sound when worn and I found they fit well. The quality of the materials seems good and although I've only had them for a few weeks they seem to be durable. On the whole it's probably not as important as the…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Cable is shorter than other headphones

The sound is really balanced and very clear, especially with the special foam tips provided. The kit also includes a set of regular ear tips of different sizes. This pair of woods takes time to warm up, making them unique with warmer properties. You can certainly use them to assess amplifier white noise, crosstalk and shielding issues because you can hear it all! I don't use it every day, can't comment on the durability of the cords and plugs, but time will tell. The overall quality is…

Pros
  • Complete set
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.

Better than in the higher price range

I've heard a lot of good things about Meze headphones in general for a long time. I've wanted to try a few, probably over a couple of years or so. Now that Meze has an actual Revain store, I finally have a chance! I'm not an audio professional, but I've been told on numerous occasions that I have "golden ears" working with audio professionals. First, gather a few things; This is no ordinary consumer headphone. The presentation decides at first glance. Opening the box reveals a meze-lyre-style…

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Not everything is as good as it says

Fun lightweight headphones with a great combination of bass and detail

Bought to replace my old everyday drivers: Shure SE215. I wanted something light that didn't have to go through my ear. I first took the Etymotic Research ER2XR but they were so boring and the only way to get a good seal was to push them in deep which made them very uncomfortable. They have a wonderfully warm tone, thanks in part to the wood body, but with good detail throughout. I particularly like their precision when playing wind instruments, strings and piano. The highs are there, but they…

Pros
  • Feels good
Cons
  • Doesn't go well with everything
