Meze Audio 99 Classics 2nd Generation Headphones

Meze's refinement of the original 2015 99 Classics, which the company says left a lasting impact on the headphone market; this second generation keeps the spirit of that design while addressing its specific limitations, with clip-on pads instead of a stretch-skirt design, a larger input jack, a bundled USB-C DAC/amp adapter, and tunable acoustic absorbers. Walnut wood ear cups sit on a spring steel and cast zinc frame, with 40mm dynamic drivers tuned for a neutral, non-fatiguing balance. The original 99 Classics and 99 Neo are both discontinued; this replaces them.
