While not very bad, I expect better bass quality for the price. Also shows some already slightly audible distortion even at quiet listening levels. Appears somewhat dull and also a bit loose, lacks some differentiation doesn't have the details of the mids and highs. Unfortunately the bass doesn't really blend in with the rest. Good midrange and treble resolution nothing to criticise here. Pleasantly lacking any noticeable dips or peaks. Therefore on the darker side but relaxed and smooth instead of lacking. Treble generally evenly in the background, even already in the lower treble. Warm fundamental range transition into the upper fundamentals therefore warm, lush lower mids without becoming overly muddy or muffled sounding. Really strong bass elevation with only moderate roll-off towards the sub-bass. Will show signs of wear fairly quickly due to that fabric, as it will fray over time (mine already does a little in some places).ģ.5 mm mono plugs on the cable’s headphone-facing side.įairly small and shallow ear pads. It's fabric-coated everywhere, even above the y-splitter. Headband bracket made of metal very unpleasantly microphonic and ringing when touched, which is a big factor of annoyance. Likes to pull my hair out, though (at least as badly as my Koss Porta Pro, probably even worse). Self-adjusting height adjustment mechanism (somewhat comparable to that of my AKG K701). There are no side indicators on the headphones (Meze dedicated that job to the cable).īuild quality and design are good, however ultimately the headphones don’t appear as premium. Last but not least, a 3.5 mm to 6.3 mm adapter, airplane adapter and zipped bag (for the spare cable) are included as well. Two cables are included – a short one with microphone/remote unit, and a longer one. (I won them as part of a gear bundle in a competition.)Ĭome with a sturdy hard case (headphones fit in even when the cable is attached) that looks good and is very protective. ġ star: The product is bad/severely flawed to outright bad. Ģ stars: The product is only about average or even somewhat below that and somewhat flawed/flawed in some areas. My ranking/scoring system does not necessarily follow the norm and is about as follows:ĥ stars: The product is very good and received the " highly recommended" award from me.Ĥ stars: The product is very good and received the " recommended" award from me.ģ stars: The product is good/very good, but not outstanding/special enough to get any of my two awards. Link to my review and measurement index thread where one can also find a full review overview, more information about myself as well as my general-ish audio and review manifesto: This is probably my fourth most favorite headphone so far followed by Final D8000,Susvara and HD650.ĥ star for me, 3 or 2 stars probably if you are in the different club The sound overall ticks all the boxes for me at this price point. Big no for treble heads, big huge yes for those who crave chill fatigue free listening sessions. Treble extension and detail is good but loses some air in the top end resulting in a more mellow, less energetic treble. Best version of this track IMO) are mad mad fun on these thanks to how the cymbals and bass sound. of Fleetwood Mac’s Dreams (Search in YouTube, published by Rhino. Just like the bass, Cymbal hits have the perfect decay in these cans. Will be less organic/natural) then 99 classics are not for you. Thus if you are into energetic upper mids and leaner lower mids (will sound perceptively cleaner but tonality might suffer. I actively look for this type of smoothness in iems and headphones while many find this sort of tuning boring and muffled. Midrange remains fairly neutral and natural (very slight coloration in the lower mids but not as much as the senn HD599, negligible) and the smoothness is the upper mids and presence region can be compared to Sony IER M7/M9. The bass decay & rumble is just perfect and that's the ultimate recipe of fun here. 99 classic is the master of bass under 500 usd. Very slightly V shaped with superb natural timbre. These are kinda the full sized version of final audio e4000 and distant cousins of Sennheiser HD650. They sound good out of the box but if you are coming from highly technical bright sounding headphones these will sound a bit too dark and mellow at first. It will be wrong to pass any verdict without trying them out for at least 3 or 4 days.
