Amazing headphones!

These were my first dive into a Meze product. And so far, they won’t be my last. These look and feel way more premium than the price suggests. Extremely well made, and serviceable for longevity. I opted for the budget 99 Neo, not only because of the price point, but the wood look on the 99 Classics didn’t click for me as I prefer the more modern black and silver look. The included accessories, for this price point, are a very nice welcome. A great, semi hard case, a zippered pouch for the cable and adapters (big enough for some small dongle dacs too). The box and presentation are top notch. Comfort is on another level. When wearing them, it feels like there’s no headband there, like it’s just floating. The ear cups are soft and fit completely around my average size ears well with a good seal. And this was a worry as they don’t have any horizontal or vertical swivel, but somehow, they just fit perfectly. I thought the metal support bands at the top would be springy and flimsy, but that’s far from the case. They are quite firm and sturdy and provide a nice clamping force that’s not too tight. Sound wise, these are, in a word, amazing. A very nice warm signature with non fatiguing highs. The bass is not overpowering but can produce some good sub bass rumble when called upon to do so. The mids are slightly forward and has no bleed from the bass at all so vocals are not colored. The upper mids, for me, seemed a tad recessed which is noticeable on some female vocals but still doesn’t leave you wanting more. The highs are smooth with no fatiguing peaks although there is not much extension into the “air” region. Imaging and separation are good. All vocals and instruments sound like they are coming from where they are supposed to be. Not an incredibly wide soundstage, but very decent. All this blends together to form a warm, inviting, lush soundscape. Most of my listening is done on my iPhone 15 Pro with ALAC files going through a Celest CD-20 dongle dac or on my PC with an iFi Zen Air dac. I’m looking forward to experiencing other Meze offerings in the future.
