Meze Audio 99 Classics G2

Since its release in 2015, the 99 Classics has undoubtedly left a deep mark on the cultural landscape of audio headphones. In this sense, it has become an emblem, a symbol. The 2nd generation of the 99 Classics introduces a number of significant improvements, while retaining the spirit of the original.

The 2nd generation of the 99 Classics adopts a more balanced and neutral signature. The bass remains dynamic but slightly more restrained, leaving room for midrange and treble details to express themselves with precision. The result: a more versatile headphone, still warm, but more precise and natural.

The volume of the earcups has been subtly increased. This modification lowers internal resonances and improves control of the lower end of the spectrum, in perfect harmony with the new sound signature.

The original cable is now made up of twisted OFC copper conductors sheathed in Kevlar, offering increased tensile strength, excellent flexibility and enhanced durability.
