amazon Meze 99 Classics reviews
Design
The first impression when holding the 99 Classics is that this is indeed a high-end and luxury. This version of dock uses Walnut wood (Walnut wood). Each headphone is made from a different piece of wood, so each headset is unique, never the same. Wood is treated but not polished much, retains rustic. The frame of the headset is made of iron, so it is hard, but not very elaborate so look very simple, not sophisticated
The first part of the 99 Classics is quite clever. Headband is connected to two elastic straps, the other end is fixed to the headset. When worn, the rubber will expand and fit snugly against the head
The ear cushions are very thick, so even if they are akin to the AKG’s K series, 99 Classics still feel a bit more comfortable. The ear cushion is also very thick, with very fine leather material, almost no cracks. The hinge of the headphones is a yellow, accentuated for the general design of the headset. Although the headset is not flashy, impressive but luxurious, high-end
Headphone wire can be drawn, using 3.5mm head on both sides. The 99 Classics are 100% resistant to scratching and are also resistant to hardening of the rubber cord. The headset comes with two types of wires, one with mic for recording and one with no wires. The headphone jack is also made of a yellow color that resembles other components of the headset, looking simple but prominent. Overall, this is a very elegant, simple yet beautifully designed headset
Sound
What the user expects from a wooden headset is a warm, thick sound with deep bass. Also know that the sound quality of the headphones depends not only on the material used to make the housing but also on the way the firm adjusts the sound, but when thinking of wood everyone is prejudiced. Meze 99 Classics did not disappoint, with a dark, warm and extremely thick sound.
Bass sound
Perhaps the first thing that users notice when placing 99 Classics is the outstanding bass. The earphone has a little more bass than the average, enough to call it a headset. This is evident in drum tracks, such as Clean Bandit’s Rather Be, the drums are clear and prominent. Bass volume of 99 Classics is not as much as Denon D, but still enough to play pop and dance music. The presentation of the lower part of the headset is also worth mentioning. The bass is pressed slightly into the mid bass to create a punchy feel, but fortunately there is almost no bloaty phenomenon. With this kind of playing in some earphones, but not good, it feels like the bass was played in a box, but luckily 99 Classics are not affected by this phenomenon, the drum sound is natural.
On jazz tracks, the bass volume is slightly more than the amount needed to play the cello and the contrabass, but not too much to distract from the main music. The sub bass is down quite deep, but is well controlled so it does not clutter the background. The medium speed, not too fast but with the tail slightly, so the song is still the depth of a headset. The bass is quite warm and thick, so the whole music is hot too, especially in a closed ear when the phenomenon is more than open ear. This bass will please those who like a lot of music with a little bit of punk in the empty, contrabass but not too much to ruin the whole music.
Medium
The highs are also slightly encroached on the midrange, making the 99 Classics warm and soft. In terms of location, the headset’s acoustics do not go straight to the middle of the head, but slightly back toward the band. This midrange is more focused on the lower mid (rather than the high mid) for a smoother and more intense feel.
Because it is lightweight and easier to hear, plus a high level of no sibalance, the 99 Classics is a good headset if you want to listen to music for long periods of time. not tired. The sound arrangement of the 99 Classics does not equate to open earphones, even with fairly thick sound components, but the main instrument or vocalist always has space. To express certain, do not stick to the background music. Olivia Ong’s voice in the Love Fool becomes smoother through the display of this headset, with slightly more sound than the centerpiece, giving a slightly airy feel.
High as mentioned above, do not create sibalance but not so lack of detail. Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey’s voice in the song When you believe was clear despite being slightly backward. Of course there will be a lot of midrange earphones that can achieve higher detail than the 99 Classics by putting higher pitches forward, but with a leaner bass, this is a midrange high enough good. Moreover, with this expression, 99 Classics create a very light music space, comfortable for the listener.

High voice
With very thick bass and dark midrange, users will think 99 Classics will be weak. But when it comes to practical use, that prejudice is completely wrong. 99 Classics is quite high volume.
Also, the detail and nature of the high 99 Classics is not trivial, the Cymbal sounds, the wind chimes are played very similarly, not slightly electronic direction. This is a pretty good tune, making the overall sound of the 99 Classics not dark, besides not so prominent to become dazzling and hard to hear.
