More than 10 years after the release of the Meze Audio 99 Classics, the brand unveils the second generation of this iconic model that has left its mark on the world of headphones. This second generation retains the essence of what made the first version so successful, but with numerous improvements. In particular, it retains its elegant aesthetic thanks to the high-quality materials used in its construction: walnut shell, vegan leather headband, manganese and zinc mechanical parts, etc. In terms of technical specifications, its 16-ohm impedance and 103db sensitivity make it easy to drive. It also has a slightly extended frequency response of 15Hz to 25kHz for rich and detailed sound reproduction. The overall sound reproduction is described as neutral and balanced and will suit many profiles, such as music lovers, content creators, and musicians. It comes with a high-end cable with a 3.5mm jack and OFC conductors, as well as a 6.35mm jack adapter and a USB-C adapter with built-in DAC to suit almost any situation.
