Product Summary
The Meze 99 Classics 2nd Gen is a premium closed-back headphone designed for customers who want a stylish, beautifully made and emotionally engaging listening experience with a more refined balance than the original model. It keeps the unmistakable walnut wood and metal design that made the 99 Classics so iconic, while introducing a more neutral and versatile tuning for wider musical appeal.
What makes the 2nd Gen version especially appealing is the way it combines musical warmth with improved clarity and balance. Meze has tuned it to sound cleaner and more even-handed, while still keeping the inviting character that makes the 99 range so easy to enjoy over long listening sessions. That makes it a strong option for customers who want a premium closed-back headphone that feels luxurious but still works brilliantly as an everyday listen.
It is also a very easy headphone to live with. The low 16 ohm impedance makes it simple to partner with a wide range of sources, while the self-adjusting headband and memory foam ear pads help keep comfort high. For customers who want a distinctive, premium closed-back headphone with a more polished modern sound and excellent long-term serviceability, the 99 Classics 2nd Gen is a very compelling choice.
