Meze Audio 99 Classics (Walnut/Silver)
Over Ear Closed Back Mic Headphones
£269
One per customer / household.
Simply stunning design
Instead of using plastic, the 99 Classics feature solid walnut ear-cups. These hand-finished ear-cups not only look luxurious but are also hardwearing and improve the sound quality. Matched to a steel headband with gold accents the style is premium luxury all the way.
Sound quality that’s anything but wooden
With a string of sensational reviews, the 99 Classics are amongst the best-sounding headphones in their class. The walnut ear-cups promote a natural, neutral sound that’s perfectly balanced. With generous 40mm drivers the sound drops right down to 15Hz – giving these headphones deep, powerful bass.
Over ear comfort
Wrapping around your ear, the 99 Classics are not only comfortable but isolate you from the outside world – letting you hear even more detail. The memory foam ear pads supply just the right amount of pressure and are finished with PU leather for a luxury feel. The headband is self-adjusting and broad enough for a comfortable fit.
Supplied with a full range of accessories
Not content with award-winning sound and style, the 99 Classics come with a class-leading range of accessories. Two, Kevlar reinforced, cables are supplied – including one with a remote and mic for smartphone calls and control. A 6.35mm adaptor makes these headphones ideal for use with your home hi-fi, while the airline jack means you can listen in luxury when flying, too. A zipped case keeps them well protected when not in use.
First for sound, style and comfort – the Meze Audio 99 Classics take luxury headphones to a whole new level.

Great product, great sound and customer service
Ok more a review of richer sounds. So I bought the meze classic 99 headphones on the richer sounds website. They came the next day. Well packed. They sound amazing. I stupidly forgot to click a VIP Perk on the website and paid £20 more than I needed to. Quick email to the Leeds richer sounds store and they were all over it. £20 refunded in no time. Richer sounds really look after you. They might not be absolute sounds in London but they are absolutely brilliant!!!! The headphones, great build, rich sound, wide soundstage and deep fast bass. Almost like some akg 701s and sennheiser 600s had a child. Wide deep detailed soundstage aka akg and deep fast bass aka sennheiser. Oh and you can wear them on a train!!

Huge improvement in sound - jury's out on comfort
I've been settling in with my Mezes for a month or so now and I'm really happy with the improvement in sound quality compared to my old AKG K550s, which sound a bit thin by comparison. I listened to the 99s alongside the Sennheiser HD660S, the Hifiman Sundara and the Beyerdynamic Amiron. The Amirons were really uncomfortable so they were straight off the list. I thought the Sennheisers sounded really subdued compared to the Sundaras and the 99s so I cast them aside too - with some surprise (and relief, since they're £150 more). I couldn't separate the last two on sound quality - they both sound fantastic to me. But the Mezes just edged it on comfort so I went with them. Much as I love the warmth and depth of the sound, there's no doubt that the bass is quite full - a bit too full occasionally, I'd say. I've heard that a balanced cable and different pads might help to address this. But so far I've resisted going down that rabbit hole...
The 99s look great, I think, and the build quality is clearly excellent. My only other reservation is long-term comfort. My ears were a bit sore after 45 mins or so in a couple of listening sessions. I tried various positions and they seem a bit more comfortable when the band is a bit further forward on my (rather large, it has to be said) head. The seal seems strongest there too. The discomfort is definitely less in this new position but I'm not confident it's gone completely. This, along with the big bass, is why I've given them four rather than five stars.

Classic style headphones
Read loads of reviews for headphones and bought these on line ,really like the style and fit nice to my head and comfortable on my ears , I have had them for about 10 days so assume should have run them in but sad to say I'm not too impressed by the sound , used with my Cambridge CD transport and dac 200 and roksan amp and just sounds dull really. Hard to to say if I would recommend as sound is personal choice really

Mere 99
I'll keep it simple. I can find no fault whatsoever with these headphones. They look brilliant and sound better than they look. I was just taking a random punt, but for the money, you're not going to find better. These headphones, Donald Fagan's The Nightfly and I'm one happy bunny, cheers

Great sounding headphones
I bought the headphones for my Samsung galaxy tablet at a great price. I am very impressed with the quality of the product. Rob from the Southampton branch recommended this and I am glad that he did 5stars
