Voici un casque que je vais avoir depuis 5 ans à la fin de l'année. Je l'utilise tout les jours pendant des heures pour écouter la télé et sur un ampli pour écouter des vinyles. Qualité de fabrication génial et son sublime qui s'est bonifié avec le temps avec une très bonne restitution des voix et atmosphère sur la télé et un son très neutre et atmosphèrique pour ce qui est de la musique.Après plus de 4 ans il marche toujours aussi bien. J'ai acheté un nouveau câble il y a un an au cas ou mais je ne l'ai toujours pas remplacé. J'ai juste changé les pads deux fois, ce qui est normal, ce son des pièces d'usure.Un achat que je referais les yeux fermés.

Macht echt was her und klingt toll. Verarbeitung und Lieferumfang samt Case und Kabel sind in Summe rund. Bin sehr zufrieden.

Meze 99 Classics haben einen betonten Bass, nicht aufdringlich aber merklich, die Höhen gehen ein bisschen unter. Die Klangbühne ist für mich persönlich trotz der geschlossenen Hörer immernoch gut. Ich höre meine über einen Fiio BTR 7. Sie sind gemütlich, federleicht und die Ausstattung mit Case und Accessoires üppig.

Die Ansage fängt schon bei der Verpackung an. Eine gut designte Verpackung aus dicker Pappe mit Magnetverschluss. Drinnen findet sich ein Hardcase aus Kunststoff mit 2 verschieden langen Kabeln und 2 Adaptern in einem separat gepolsterten Etui und natürlich der Kopfhörer. Auch das ist bei weit teureren Boliden nicht gängig.Als ich ihn das erste mal sah, dachte ich, waohh, aber den kannst du dir eh nicht leisten und dann sah ich den Preis und er ging mir nicht mehr aus dem Kopf.Und jetzt ist er hier. Er sitzt perfekt auf meinem Kopf und auch lange Sessions sind möglich. Wenn ich so in die Musik versunken bin, spüre ich ihn nicht mehr. Top.Und der Klang? Ich bin eher analytischer Hörer und regel die Höhen bei meinen nuVeros etwas nach oben, der Basschalter steht auf reduziert und der Bass ist noch etwas nach unten korriegiert aber das Klangbild dieses Boliden ist schon etwas besonderes. Glasklare Höhen ohne Spitzen, helle und saubere Mitten ohne nach Dose zu klingen. Ein schneller, fetter und trockener Bass mit etwas mehr im Mittenbass, der manchmal in den Ohren ein wenig kitzelt. Und genau dieser Bass macht etwas besonderes mit dem Sound. Da braucht es für mich keinerlei Korrektur weil die Abstimmung schlicht perfekt ist. Das betrifft auch eine für mich weite und tiefe Räumlichkeit mit der Möglichkeit Instrumente im Raum zu orten. So etwas erlebt man eigentlich nur sehr selten und in weit höheren Preisgefilden.Auf der Kopfhörermesse CanJam 2016 hat er in der Kategorie "Best Product" neben dem Sennheiser HE1 (59000€ - kein Scherz) und dem Focal Utopia (5000€) den dritten Platz gemacht und nach ca 3 Wochen und etlichen Stunden Einspielzeit mit unterschiedlichen Genres weiß ich auch warum.Er ist immer nur besser geworden und wenn ich ihn sehe, möchte ich sofort weiter damit hören. Hören mit dem Meze 99 Classic ist purer Genuss. Er spielt einfach grandios authentisch, holt dich voll und ganz ab und lässt dich den Alltag vergessen. Suchtgefahr garantiert.Bei der Akustikversion von Personal Jesus denke ich immer, ich sitze bei den Kollegen im Studio. Dieser Kopfhörer macht Musik lebendig.Zu den Nachteilen oder Einschränkungen sei erwähnt, dass das Mikrofon samt Schalter, welches im kurzen Klinkenkabel verbaut ist, nur bei Handys funktioniert, die einen 3,5 Zoll Klinkenanschluss haben. Beim Einsatz eines USB-C Adapters oder gar einem externen Hires DAC, funktioniert das Mikrofon entweder verzerrt oder gar nicht mehr.Im Übrigen und der Bauart geschuldet, ist der Kopfhörer eher nicht zum Herumlaufen geeignet, da die Nebengeräusche nicht unerheblich sind und auch die Geräusche, die vom Kabel ausgehen, sind nicht zu verachten.Da mobiler Einsatz aber nicht mein Hauptkriterium ist, ziehe ich hierfür keinen Stern ab.Was bleibt ist nach wie vor ein echt beeindruckender Hörer mit einem besonderen Sound, der so klingt, wie er aussieht, der Top verarbeitet ist und weit über seine Preisklasse hinaus spielt, sehr weit und ich habe schon einiges gehört. Ein absoluter Preisknaller und eine gediegene Ansage der Firma Meze an die Konkurrenz, der beim Hören immer wieder ein breites, zufriedenes Grinsen produziert.Glückwunsch und vielen Dank für bis jetzt schon viele Stunden Musikgenuss pur, weit ab vom Alltag.

Schon beim Auspacken beeindruckten mich die sorgfältige Verarbeitung und das edle Design dieses Kopfhörers. Die Kombination aus Walnussholz und goldfarbenen Akzenten verleiht ihnen eine unverwechselbare Eleganz, die sofort ins Auge fällt. Auch der Tragekomfort der Meze 99 Classics ist hervorragend. Die Ohrpolster aus weichem Kunstleder sind angenehm gepolstert und sitzen perfekt auf den Ohren, ohne zu drücken. Auch der verstellbare Kopfbügel ist gut gepolstert und lässt sich individuell an die Kopfgröße anpassen. Was die Meze 99 Classics aber wirklich auszeichnet, ist ihr Klang. Der Kopfhörer bietet ein breites Klangspektrum mit außergewöhnlicher Klarheit und Detailtreue. Die Bässe sind präzise und tief, die Mitten warm und ausdrucksstark und die Höhen kristallklar, ohne jemals zu scharf oder überbetont zu wirken. Egal ob ich Klassik, Rock oder elektronische Musik höre, die Meze 99 Classics liefern immer einen erstklassigen Klang, der mich jedes Mal aufs Neue begeistert. Hilfreich ist auch die Geräuschisolierung der Kopfhörer.Wenn es einen Kritikpunkt gibt, dann ist es der Preis. Die Meze 99 Classics gehören definitiv zu den teureren Kopfhörern auf dem Markt. Trotzdem muss ich sagen, dass sie jeden Cent wert sind.

First, a few things that are important to mention. I am not an audiophile at all. I do not pretend that I know more about anyone else when it comes to headphones.I have tried a few different headphones and can afford any headphone set inside the higher price range on the market. All I want, is a simple, excellent sounding, extremely attractive looking set of over ear headphones. But also something people notice, while probably never seeing it before. I like having things people will most likely not have. So I didn't want a Bose or Sony. When I have 30 minutes to 2hrs to relax, I want to slip into a comfortable music bubble and enjoy what I'm hearing.I had never heard of Meze before. No one I know has either. You probably haven't either. After doing a history check, this headphone set has been around since 2015. Internally, there has probably been some engineering changes to the headphones since then. (Read recent reviews instead of the original ones. I have read they changed the product since the ones from 2015) Any product that can stay around that long, (from a small company in Romania) as well as have incredible reviews (across many websites and youtube), was worth me trying. So I bought a pair.A few more things that are important to mention. The 99 Classics and 99 Neo are both made in China. There is no sound cancelling. They are not wireless. There are no bass buttons or switches on the earcups. There is a microphone on the short cable, which I don't care about, haven't used and never will. I'm not taking calls with these. The paper booklet included does say to use them for 40hrs of burn-in time to reach optimal performing state. After already burning my wallet.The cables are very nice. 10ft and 4ft. You can switch them easily. There's no left and right labels on the earcups. The cables have the labels L and R. The case is the perfect size and shape. It feels good to grab with your hand. Outside feels okay. I think it could be better on the inside. (Basic fuzz that holds velcro nicely, but looks cheap). Some fabric would make it feel more like a luxury item. The logo emblem should be metal for the price. Overall, the case is classy looking.The look. Straight up sexy. The walnut and gold with steel frame look so different from anything else you see people wearing. And they look expensive. Wore them in the office. Turned heads. Questions were asked. Many people liked them. You say "CNC Machined Walnut" and people know, these aren't standard headphones.The feel. The best headphones I have ever felt on my ears. That will be the experience for most people who try them on. I have standard size ears, that don't angle or cup outwards. The cups fit perfectly over my ears. The inside face of the cup does just barely lay on my ears. Just a slight touch. I know for some people this is a deal breaker and downside. It isn't for me. The ear pads are memory foam that feel like wonderful marshmallows that seal extremely well. They feel excellent. My ears got warm in 30 mins. The headband has some stretchy thing in it that allows adjusting instead of the way you do with most headphones. I have a slightly larger than average male head and it worked well and was comfortable for me. I have a set of Status Audio CB-1 headphones, which have been really good for video editing and general use, but after 1.5hrs, they do start to give me a headache. I've read this is actually really common for many people (over ear headphone use) and had no idea. I thought it was just me. The Classics 99 do not do this for myself and I don't know why. However, I do find sweat gathers at the ear pads in most situations where there is no air conditioning in the room (after 30 mins or so). It's a very tight seal. Others have mentioned the PU peels off the ear pads after months of use. Since they are not leather, this is definitely going to happen at some point. But there are after market ear pads I have seen from a variety of sellers. These headphones are actually designed with replacement parts in mind. Which is good because the thought of throwing out good high priced headphones because of PU peeling off earpads is not cool. I wish more headphone companies would do this.The sound. After giving them 40 hrs of use, this is what I experienced. Warm sounding music. Close, tight sound. A small soundstage. For the first time, I can really tell the difference between low quality mp3's and high quality ones. Everything I listen to sounds better (in my very inexperienced opinion) than what I paid for. And that's all I really wanted.When I have the music going, (kind of loud) a coffee grinder can be used 15ft from me and I don't hear it unless I really try. Impressive, but it's probably only because the earcup memory foam seals good. So then I figured, if they sound this good, will they sound better with an amp? They don't need one at all, but a few people had written on different sites, that they actual do sound slightly better with an amp. Again, I'm not an audiophile, and don't know if an amp will do anything worthwhile so I didn't want to spend a lot. So I found a cheap amp on Amazon called MYPIN HA.0290. Super cheap with good reviews. And it actually did make the sound just a bit little bit better. I don't know how to describe the change. Obviously I could drive volume louder with no distortion. The sound was a bit brighter and warmer. Not by much, but it still was very cool, that a cheap amp.. did anything at all. So I kept it. After falling in love with this new combination of toys, I decided it would be nice, to have an mp3 player and amp together in one unit with a short cable linking them. Found dual 90 degree short headphone cable on Amazon called Sinloon. Then got my old iPhone 6 and designed a 3D printed case holding the phone and amp together. One day I'll get something better, but I'm new to all of this and it does the job perfectly as is. Now I just grab the headphones and the player/amp whenever I want to escape into a nice music nap.Anyone I have let listen to these headphones love them. But none of them are headphone snobs or audiophiles, so they may be just as pleased with anything else in this price range. But the comfort and the looks are next level to me.I took some pictures in my photo booth with my iPhone. Enjoy!Update: Four months in and these headphones still work perfectly. Everyone that has tried them likes them a lot. I decided that it was time to design a very good 3D printed case with rubber cushions to keep them safe. I also don't have to unplug the cables from the earcups to put them away each time. All the files are free to download and print for anyone. Just search Thingiverse for Meze 99 Classics.

The clarity of sound, the depth of audio. This is the best headphones I have ever had. They look amazing fit perfectly and are lightweight as well. I recommend these headphones.

Aggiorno la recensione a distanza di anni.Ho acquistato l'anno scorso i pads Dekoni Elite sheepskin appositi per questo modello. Sono il risultato di una stretta collaborazione tra Dekoni e Meze che ha coinvolto i relativi ingegneri. Consiglio decisamente l'acquisto di tali pads, sebbene siano costosi perché a mio avviso migliorano molto le prestazioni sonore già ottime della cuffia.La qualità costruttiva di queste cuffie è eccezionale, basta prenderle in mano per rendersene conto, niente plastica e niente colla. L'estetica dal gusto classico e accattivante è curata in ogni dettaglio, non per niente sono state classificate da alcuni siti tra le cuffie più belle di sempre.Le cuffie risultano eccezionalmente comode grazie all'archetto autoregolante la clamping force è sempre ottimale e le cuffie non risultano affatto pesanti sulla testa, dando quasi la sensazione di non averle neanche addosso.Unico neo, nel mio caso, il fatto che quando porto gli occhiali le punte delle orecchie mi tocchino il fondo dei pads (problema non presente con i pads Dekoni sopra citati).Uso queste cuffie con un lettore FiiO M11 che dispone di uscite bilanciate, avrei quindi gradito che ci fosse un cavo bilanciato in dotazione invece del cavo più lungo che personalmente trovo poco utile, mentre avrei gradito che i comandi del cavo più corto con microfono includessero anche una regolazione per il volume. Acquisterò sicuramente un cavo bilanciato in futuro per sfruttare a pieno la combinazione FiiO M11 e Meze 99 Classic.Per quanto riguarda il suono, la timbrica di queste cuffie è molto naturale, tendente a un suono caldo e rilassante. Mi ha stupito molto positivamente la resa della chitarra acustica e dei fiati. Ottima anche la resa delle voci e dei cori.Sicuramente il punto di forza delle Meze 99 Classics è la gamma media eccezionale. Gli alti hanno il pregio di non essere mai fastidiosi ma non sono dettagliatissimi. La gamma bassa è ben presente e migliora dopo qualche decina di ore di rodaggio.Aggiornamento: la gamma bassa migliora notevolmente con i pads Dekoni sopra citati, il basso è decisamente più controllato. A mio avviso i pads Dekoni migliorano anche dettaglio complessivo e scena sonora.Alcune tracce usate per i test di ascolto- Chitarra acustica: Kiitos da Anaxanum di Andrea Castelfranato.- Oboe: Gabriel's Oboe da The Mission del maestro Ennio Morricone.- Sassofono: Blue Prelude da Sonny Stitt Blows the Blues di Sonny Stitt- Voce femminile e cori: (You Make Me Feel) A Natural Woman da Aretha's Gold di Aretha Franklin- Voce maschile: Lover, You Should've Come Over da Grace di Jeff Buckley- Batteria: The Drum Thunder Suite da Moanin' di Art Blakey & The Jazz Messangers

I have 5 pairs of headphones topping out at £750 grados and if I had to pick only one pair it would be the classic. They produce a wonderfully natural musicality without losing anything significant over my more expensive cans.The classic is not a neutral headphone but given a digital input they retain the advantages of digital with a more seamless and natural sound and extremely deep, controlled and palpable bass. Difficult to explain but I always feel that my brain is working harder when I listen to high quality digital, whereas these headphones make sound seem easier to process and this just adds to the enjoyment. Highly recommendedGo for it if:You want a pair of home based headphones under £700.You have a good quality (not mp3) based digital system.You have a high quality analogue input with a solid state amplifier.You are finding your current headphones too brash, tiring and mushy at the bass end.You have an external headphone amp.Listen for many hours at a time.You want to listen at lower volumes.May be better options if youConnect them directly to a phone or portable player. Truth is the amplifier in the device just won't be good enough to let them sing, although it will drive them.Listen to low quality digital such as mp3 or free Spotify. The bass becomes overblown and vague.Looking for portability.You need very high level of noise isolation.You want a monitor like accuracy and balance. Neutral they are not.You have larger than average ears. Still worth trying but may not fit.You will use them in a warm environment.You are using a less that top quality valve amplifier. May be overly warm sounding.ProsMusicality. I know there are better headphones out there but when I listen through the classics I just forget about being analytical and get lost in the musicality. I initially thought that they lacked detail but I then realised that it is there. What the classic does is to remove the characteristic of digital replay to focus you on continually changing aspects of the music. Instead I just let the music flow over me and it was my decision as to what, if any specific aspect of the music that I wanted to turn my mind to. Don't think this made the music less emotional or musical, in fact it does just the opposite. They have a fantastic bass response that is tight, fast and very deep. However the bass is never overblown like the sennheiser momentum. The main characteristic is a seemless integrated flow of sound that is incredibly natural, the likes of which I have never before heard from a headphone. The sound stage has good but not exceptional width but the produce a great sense of depth putting you on the stage and this leads to a very intimate feel to the music. Sorry but I just can't fault the design compromises of the classic.Good at lower volume. Subjectively I find that I don't have to up the volume to get a sense of realism or additional musicality so I can listen at lower and safer volumes than with my other cans.Fatigue free. There is no sense of fatigue even after several hours of listening.VERY comfortable to wear for hours. They fit over the ears with soft ear cups and no excessive feeling of pressure from the head band. They are also comfortable if you wear glasses.Look pretty good.Detachable and good length cable. In fact they come with two cables, one with in-line controls.ConsBuild quality is ok and matches their price and I can't say they look more expensive than they. They also feel a little fragile, although I expect they are more robust than I give credit.Warm. The ears can get a warm, but not uncomfortably so in hotter environments.Not portable. Too large and fragile to carry around.Average to below average noise isolation.

Nach eingehendem Hör- und Tragetest muss sich dieser bildschöne Hörer dem Bang & Olufsen Beoplay H6 2nd Generation geschlagen geben. An verschiedenen Quellen (Yamaha RX-V579, FiiO X3 II und AGPTek MH01) und denselben Test-Stücken (Klaus Schulze, Overchill aus Crime of Suspense mit seinen herrlichen Beats und Vocals, und Pink Floyd, Signs of Life aus Momentary Lapse of Reason, mit dem Wassergeplätscher am Anfang) spielt der B&O dezenter auf, feinfühliger, sanfter, klarer. Der Meze kommt mir zu wummig daher, zu basslastig, nicht sensibel genug. Für mein Hörempfinden ist der um 90 Euro preiswertere B&O (der mal ursprünglich ebenso knapp 300 Euro gekostet hat wie der Meze und deshald direkt verglichen werden kann) der feinfühligere Gentleman, der mit der Musik, die ich höre, einfach besser umgehen kann. Der Meze driftet mir zu sehr in Richtung Disco ab, wo es auf Bässe und Lautstärke ankommt. Dazu kommt, dass der B&O luftiger und angenehmer sitzt. Unter dem Meze wird es schnell warm. Und was mir am Meze auch nicht so gut gefällt: Der Lederbügel steht unter ständiger Spannung und neigt dazu, den gesamten Hörer nach oben zu ziehen. Der B&O behält seine einmal eingestellte Größe ohne Gegenwehr bei.Schade um dieses wunderschöne Stück. Aber fast 300 Euro nur wegen des Designs - da schau ich mich lieber weiter nach einem zweiten Kopfhörer um.
