99 CLASSICS 2^NDGEN

UNIQUE BY NATURE

A CLASSIC FIT FOR TODAY

Since their release in 2015, the 99 Classics have undeniably left a big impact on the headphone cultural landscape. In this sense, they have become iconic, a symbol.

Meze initially created them out of a desire to infuse life and passion into what is commonly perceived as technical objects. Meze view headphones as vessels that contain our love for artistic expression and celebrate individuality.

Ten years later, that vision continues to drive us. As a celebration, the 2nd Generation 99 Classics come with a number of meaningful enhancements, all while preserving the spirit of the original.

SAME ICONIC SILHOUETTE

Everything that made the original headphone an instant classic is still present – the magnetic and inviting sound, the seamless comfort, the use of premium materials, the timeless design aesthetic – it’s all here. However, upon closer inspection and audition, the enhancements become more apparent.

ONE OF A KIND

When it comes to wood patterns, there are never two alike. Age, color, texture, and grain come into play to create a pair of headphones as unique as you. The process of crafting a single pair of ear cups takes up to 8 hours, while sanding, lacquering, and finishing extend over 45 days. Slowly air-dried to preserve its rich tones, the wood is then carefully inspected, ensuring that no imperfections pass through.

FEATURES & CRAFTSMANSHIP

SUSTAINABLE BY DESIGN

Meze consider the possible failure points of headphones from the earliest stages of product development. Meze want to slow down replacement cycles and create something to be enjoyed for years, they have to find solutions for anything that could go wrong before it even happens.

And in addition to aiming for a failure proof construction, Meze designed the 2nd Gen 99 Classics as fully serviceable. Ear cups, headband, cables, or driver, all pieces are replaceable.
