DESCRIPTION
A HEADPHONE AS UNIQUE AND AWESOME AS YOU!
Experience pure luxury in terms of looks and sound with the Meze 99 Classics. This headphone has been lovingly handcrafted from wood and the satin-finished wood grain makes each headphone unique, just like your fingerprint. With these, Meze has worked to change the perception of headphones from being seen as technical devices or cheap plastic accessories to a mature product that you'll fall in love with.
A RICH NATURAL SOUND
Enjoy a crisp, balanced sound with the Meze 99 Classics. The 40mm neodymium drivers offer a clear, undistorted sound. Just sit back and put these on to enjoy the gorgeous sound of plucked strings, upbeat grooves or thumping beats that's natural and lifelike. In addition, the snug medium density memory foam keeps away noise while offering superior noise isolation.
HIGH-QUALITY AND LUXURY IN EVERY ELEMENT
Apart from wood, the 99 Classics also use cast zinc and manganese spring steel. The headband ensures even pressure for long listening sessions. The headpad and earpads are made from PU leather. Everything is then put together using nuts and bolts. This makes the headphone fully serviceable. The entire headphone is made from only premium materials, no glue or plastic.
MADE WITH CARE USING AN EXTENSIVE PROCESS
Each Meze 99 Classics takes almost 45 days to be made. The wood used is harvested from mature trees that have reached the end of their life cycle. This ensures that there is no harm done to the environment while giving you that rich, natural sound. To further enhance the colours, the wood goes through extensive air drying and shaping by hand and CNC machines, a process that takes almost 8 hours. It then goes through sanding, lacquering, finishing, careful inspection and is finally assembled.
