Meze Audio 99 Classics 2nd Gen Closed-Back Headphones

Meze Audio 99 Classics 2nd gen closed-back over-ear headphones build on the legacy of the original 99 Classics with refined tuning, upgraded hardware and sustainable craftsmanship. Designed for discerning listeners who demand both sonic precision and everyday comfort, these second-generation headphones deliver a natural, balanced sound wrapped in timeless style. Real walnut wood earcups, a self-adjusting headband and a low-impedance 16-ohm design make the 99 Classics 2nd gen as versatile as they are beautiful—you’ll find these headphones perfect for use in a studio, listening at home or playing tunes on the go.

Enhanced Sound and Upgraded Components

Forming the core of the 99 Classics 2nd gen are 40 mm dynamic drivers tuned for a smoother, more neutral response across the frequency spectrum. With a range of 15Hz–25kHz, they reproduce every detail with clarity and warmth, from deep bass to delicate high-end shimmer. The new tuning offers greater midrange balance and definition, ideal for critical listening or long sessions. Power-efficient 16-ohm impedance ensures optimal performance whether connected to a professional interface, DAC or portable device, maintaining full dynamics without demanding amplification.

Crafted From Walnut and Built to Last

Each pair of Meze Audio 99 Classics 2nd gen headphones features genuine walnut wood earcups, precision-milled and finished for acoustic resonance and visual depth. The metal frame and screw-assembled construction eliminate glue for long-term serviceability, while detachable memory foam pads use a clip-in mechanism for quick replacement. A two-axis earcup swivel system and self-adjusting headband adapt naturally to any head shape, ensuring a comfortable fit during extended listening sessions. Lastly, every component is replaceable, reflecting Meze’s commitment to sustainability and durability.

Premium Accessories and Everyday Versatility

The 99 Classics 2nd gen includes a hard EVA carrying case for safe transport, a USB-C dongle DAC for enhanced playback quality and a dual-twisted Kevlar-wrapped OFC cable. These accessories complement the headphones’ refined build, offering flexibility for both travel and high-fidelity listening environments. Built to perform and endure, the second-generation 99 Classics 2nd gen continues Meze Audio’s legacy of craftsmanship—where design, comfort and sound exist in perfect harmony.
