Meze is very clear on who they want to buy the 99 Neo as opposed to the wood finished 99 Classic. This is a “darker, edgier” finish aimed squarely at the hipster metro dudes who want something a bit more ‘timeless’ but still highly fashionable.

It is the same core 40mm driver supra-aural design but the materials and finish have been changed as well as the pads. This is now designed for better comfort but less ostentatious in its aesthetics and something that could sit casually by the side of a laptop in Starbucks. The phrase ‘contemporary styling’ has been used and it is that and then some, yet it’s still unmistakably Meze.
