The 99 Classics are also a good deal lighter and for those with smaller heads/necks this could, indeed, be a determining factor. br>
Simply stunning design
Instead of using plastic, the 99 Classics feature solid walnut ear-cups. In sum the DX220 splendidly drove the 99 Classics to a higher performance level with a tonality safely ensconced in analog-like musicality, but closer, no doubt, to the neutral zone.

Smartphones with headphone jacks are a rare breed nowadays, so it’s entirely possible that these cans aren’t the ones for you simply because of which phone you have.I'd not heard of Meze Audio before, but on the basis of these headphones I'd happily consider them again. I had heard them randomly in brief listening sessions at some audio meets and they always sounded dark and warm but nothing that was drawing me to purchase them. Feel free to check out the link below to check the current pricing and availability for this headphone.

Looks like an art piece and there is no sign of hard cheap plastic anywhere (only plastic part being the elastic material used in the self adjusting headband system, that too being vv high quality). We purchased a new unit, tested it with our new test bench, and re-wrote almost everything here to meet our current standards. I am still a sucker for the classy brass and gold on the predecessor, but I know many people will be happy with the black model's more modern and subdued look.

Each component is user-replaceable, and when I say each one I mean every single bit of the headphone from the headband to the cups, drivers, sockets, you name it.
