Meze 99 Classics Walnut Gold... make your head beautiful
The Meze 99 Classics delivers perfect natural sound even to the pickiest of audio lovers. The walnut wood earcups, soft earpads, and the spring steel headband will make the 99 Classics an heirloom rather than just a pair of headphones.
"The definition of all around comfort"
Warm and "matte", with a quite bassy but inoffensive sound. They basically never reach a sibilant sound while somehow still maintaining a great detail reproduction. They are very immersive. The high bass response and the isolation help greatly with attenuating the low engine rumbles when travelling. Fitment is just perfect, the pair just warmly „hugging” your head. They especially sound good with jazz, reggae, and low key genres like R&B or lo-fi, but also do very well with basically all other genres I've tried like classical music, rock, hip-hop and EDM. They can sometimes sound muddy though, with the mid-bass being too overwhelming.
The *smaller earpads* that they sell significantly change the way they sound by reducing the bass, while making it deeper. They furthermore uncover the transducer's detail (but increasing the sibilance too). For me, with the smaller earpads, the headphones seem to reproduce a more natural and spacious sound, and make them more suitable for auditioning live performances and orchestra, and also gets rid of that muddiness in the low frequencies.

ONE OF A KIND HEADPHONES
Just like fingerprints, wood grain is as unique, thus making each pair of Meze Headphone a one of a kind. You will love how they feel in your hands. Sturdy built and precise assembly. The ear cups are made with a satin finished wood grain. Put them on, sit back, and enjoy your favorite sound of plucked strings, upbeat grooves or thumping beats while still looking classy
PREMIUM SOUND DESIGNED FOR THOSE WHO KNOW
We're taking headphone design to a new level by combining modern with hand crafted design, using natural materials and focusing on delivering the best premium sound
Our aim is to change the perception of headphones as technical devices or as cheap plastic accessories and create a mature product to fall in love with
WOOD TECHNOLOGY
The choice of wood is an inherently difficult one. The rich colors of walnut require the use of air drying, a long and expensive procedure. The process of shaping just a single pair of earcups takes up to 8 hours. The whole process of sanding, lacquering, and finishing lasts 45 days. The wooden components are carefully inspected and no flaws are permitted to reach the final assembly.
It is worth mentioning that all the wood that we use in our headphones is strictly harvested from sources with certificate of origin. That is, mature trees that have reached the end of their life cycle. This way, we are helping the environment and we're giving the old trees a chance to shine one more time in the shape of Meze headphones.
