Thank you Keith and John!

Love you're very in depth headphone reviews keep up the nice work :) thinking about buying these

Great video Tyll! My review reflects what you say, and like you have put the 99 Classics on my wall of fame! I was pleasantly shocked at how well they sounded; Balanced and very fun/engaging! :)

Looking and sounding crispy clear. Thumbs up.

Finally! Thanks Keith & John!

Thanks Keith and John!

Thank you for this review. I had purchased the NAD Viso HP50 on your recommendation and was very happy with them... until a vice in fabrication...which they replaced... and the replacement pair had a fabrication vice in the same driver...very disappointing... I am awaiting their decision on what to do... So I am happy that you recommend the Meze 99 as a better quality headphone so I can trade up while I await Nad's decision. Your reviews are excellent as always.

love your reviews Tyle, keep it up! Would be great to have a look at the new HD800s

wow tyle! really excited for the new recording equipment; just made yet another headphone purchase based on your wall of fame ... great review

Great review sir, think you have convinced me to go pick up a set.

The new camera and mic are wonderful!

Tyll hits the big time. Yes the audio is much better, I hope it's a gift not a loan. Thanks Keith & John.

Good stuff! The video and audio quality is much better. keep up the great vids!

We appreciate!!!

If you get a chance to get your hands on the Fostex TH-X00 (Massdrop collaboration with Fostex), I'd love to see a review.

Great review, as usual! Have you experienced any improvement in sound quality using a headphone amp?

The audio isn't garbage?!!?!?!!? WTF?!! YES!! Thanks Kieth and John! His video tech was abysmal before!

Excellent review, Tyll! Could you please review the sony h.ear mdr100aap wired as well as the sennheiser momentum 2.0 wired? It would be awesome if you could!!

Hi Tyll! Have you reviewed the Audioquest Nighthawks yet? If not, will you be reviewing them anytime soon? Thanks 😊

Very nice exiting review ,Meze b99 is very good value , the same thing happen to me I have meze 99 and Flare r2 pro, Tyll could you please ask your Guy Joker to review Flare r2 pro ,they deserve to be in the list ,also I'm still waiting for Beyer T1 V2 review

Hope you get to review all the new Fostex brand of headphones ( T20, 40 and 50RP Mk3 and new TR70, 80 and 90 ) sometime soon.

what is difference between Meze 99 and Focal classic ? which one is better ?

So is it the actual frequency response reason why you love them? Also, interesting that you dont call them dark sounding, just look at the response curve.

Great video as always and same with the info provided! I'm trying to find a new pair of cans that could be considered as an upgrade to the ATH-M50. Would this one fit the bill? I'm trying to work my way up on the audiophile quality of listening little by little and wanted something better than what I have right now.

+abnr1983 If you like the look of the headphones then I would highly recommend them. The sound that is partnered with the aesthetic is wonderful as Tyll said. A few other great headphones around that price range are Phillips Fidelio x2, V Moda Crossfade M-100, AKG K7xx, and if you could splurge around $100 more I HIGHLY recommend a pair of Fostex/Massdrop Th-x00's. They sound extra lovely. Coming from a past owner of m50x's, Any of the headphones I recommended or the Meze 99 classics are a clear upgrade.

I have a pair of Beyerdynamic DT880 600 ohms. How do these compare to mine?

Hi Tyll! Great to hear your reviews without the hiss. Just kiddin' ;) I noticed you mentioned that the bass can be perceived as a bit loose. Are we talking about the same bass as the first Senn Momentums? I had a pair and I found the bass on the momentums to be too loose and not very detailed/articulated. Do you think the Meze 99 performs better at this? Cheers! Jurgen

Amazing review man, waiting on mine can't wait!

Hi Tyll :)! Are these a better sounding headphone than the Philips Fidelio x2 or not? Despite them being open Vs closed backs. Or anybody else here who heard both that can answer it. Thanks.

I am a jazz listener (vinyl listener) and i am looking for a smooth and warm listening for the evening listening at home. Would these headphones work fine on an amplifier headphones out? (i don't have a dedicated amp for headphones). I am asking this because i only saw reviews about listening from phones. Thank you.

Everyone seems to be reviewing these at the moment...

Do they need a dedicated DAC?

I listened to the B&W P7 wireless but wasn't convinced by the bass on them, as it seemed a bit loose, even in wired mode. The Meze 99C's are warm in the bass as well, but have a more natural sound overall. Don't get me wrong, you wouldn't be disappointed with the P7's and if you're travelling a lot, you may prefer the wireless option, but sonically I feel the Meze's are worth putting up with the wire for. Horses for courses though!

21ohm. I really had to dig deep on the website for that info. Would be nice to always have the ohm rating mentioned in the KZread review. Not Crack friendly in my case so I'll pass.These are the Gold version the light ones are the Silver version, those look VERY nice.

I have both.. depends on which model of meze pads u have. I have the old pads and the revised pads for the meze. With the old pads I think the meze wins in smoothness and just overall fun. The nieuwer thicker pads dial back the mid-range a little much and that gives them a more boomy character. They are way more uncomfortable with the old pads though I have really small ears so I manage somehow but they aren't super comfy. If u plan on eq-ing u can get some mid-range back and youll probably be happy with the performance.

Philips Fidelio X1/X2 are open back headphones, so by default they have wider sound stage and better spatial imaging. Note that in all Meze99 reviews nobody comments on the sound stage, but only on details which closed back headphones may reveal.

+CPRod1gy I would go with the HD600 or the HD650 too, but to think about it, it's the only headphone you'll live with for the rest of your life. This includes travelling, which needs isolation and low impedance, so maybe in the end I'd probably push the budget a little for a Noble Savant.

Anyone know what aftermarket pads will get me a sound signature like the original small pads do? Just ordered a pair not knowing that the new pads turn this headphone into a bassy headphone with ressessed mids.

So i just broke in the pads by putting them in my pockets while walking, and left them under books at night, and that seemed to help a lot.

With BIG SOUND we got so much high end audiophile rigs, where is the lifestyle mid-fi love? (we did get the new V-MODA) Great that you have a new camera setup, although I never noticed the hiss muss listening through desktop speakers.

i have the ath m50x and oppo pm3. i wanted a pair of headphones with more bass. i bought those...i am returning them. i came to the conclusion that m50x and pm-3 have enough bass. i do not need more , or at least not meze 99 like ....on meze as well as on sony xm3 , bass is the main frequency , treble is very recessed . bass bleeds in the other frequencie ,BOOMY and MUDDY sound.i listen to metal and rock , you can't hear the guitars correctly , tone sucks seach sound . if you want to solve the problem to a level , you can via eq , increase 4khz and 6khz band by 3 db...i for one , dont like to use equalizers. i prefer headphones that sound good out of the box. same goes for sony mdr-1am2 , they sound thesame but have more treble , but not the righ treble , the treble that sound sibilant....i am looking for a pair with less bass and treble in the way of oppo pm3... sennheiser momentum 3 had this king of signature, what i did not like was the distorsion , also the sound is good in active mode and not passive (headphones turned off , totally different sound - bad sound)
