Meze 99 Classics 2nd Gen Closed Back Wired Headphones

The Meze 99 Classics 2nd Gen build on one of the most beloved headphones of the past decade, refining everything that made the original 99 Classic so special while introducing improved sound quality, better ergonomics, and more modern functionality. Crafted with genuine walnut wood ear cups, cast-zinc hardware, and a self-adjusting spring-steel headband, the 99 Classics 2nd Gen retain their iconic aesthetic but feel more polished and comfortable than ever. Each pair is individually finished, ensuring a natural wood grain that makes every unit unique.

Sound has been carefully re-engineered for the new generation. The original’s warm, bass-forward signature has been balanced into a more neutral and accurate profile. Bass remains full and controlled, but the midrange has greater clarity, and the treble is crisper and more detailed without becoming harsh. Improvements in driver matching and internal acoustic geometry result in a more stable stereo image and a more spacious, open soundstage than you’d expect from a closed-back design.

Comfort has also taken a step forward. The updated ear pads use soft memory foam and attach via a new clip-on system that ensures a consistent fit and makes replacement easy. The lightweight frame distributes pressure naturally, allowing long listening sessions without fatigue.

For practicality, the 2nd Gen includes a durable, dual-twisted Kevlar-sheathed cable, as well as a USB-C DAC/AMP adapter for easy use with modern phones, laptops and tablets. A hard EVA carrying case keeps the headphones protected wherever you take them. Every component is fully serviceable, reinforcing Meze’s commitment to longevity and sustainability.

Elegant, comfortable, and tuned with precision, the Meze 99 Classics 2nd Generation offer the charm of handcrafted materials with the performance of a modern audiophile headphone — perfect for listeners who want timeless style blended with refined, balanced sound.
