Meze Audio Celebrates 10 Years of Design Excellence with the All-New 99 Classics (2nd Gen)
Founded in 2011 in Romania, Meze Audio gained global recognition with the original 99 Classics (2015) — an icon of craftsmanship and natural sound. The 99 Classics 2nd Generation celebrates this 10-year legacy with 10 key upgrades, preserving the timeless design while delivering refined, modern acoustics. It features a 40mm dynamic driver with PEEK dome and acoustic filters powered by neodymium magnets, evolving the original warm V-shaped sound into a balanced, neutral tuning with 💣 tighter bass, 📌 greater clarity, and improved stereo imaging. The structure has been redesigned with a larger ear cup volume, bass port, and optimized baffle for better dynamics. Retaining CNC-machined walnut wood ear cups, a vegan leather headband, and 6-clip memory foam ear pads, it includes removable acoustic absorbers, OFC Kevlar cable, USB-C DAC/AMP dongle, 6.3mm adapter, and eco-friendly packaging. With 16Ω impedance, 103dB sensitivity, 15Hz–25kHz response, and 290g weight, the Meze Audio 99 Classics 2nd Generation honors a decade of Romanian artistry while redefining a modern classic.
Advanced PEEK Driver with Enhanced Matching for Superior Clarity
The Meze 99 Classics (2nd Gen) employs a 🔈 40mm driver with PEEK dome, surround, and acoustic filters delivering high tensile strength and structural rigidity that prevents breakup while maintaining lightweight construction for rapid transient response. PEEK's superior internal damping reduces unwanted resonances. Neodymium magnets provide superior magnetic strength for efficient signal conversion. Advanced driver matching algorithms minimize performance discrepancies between channels for improved stereo imaging and uniform tonal balance. Delivers 15Hz-25kHz response with less than 0.1% THD. The 16Ω impedance (down from original 32Ω) makes the 99 Classics 2nd Gen easier to drive.
Rebalanced Acoustic Architecture for Natural Soundstage
mnThe Meze 99 Classics (2nd Gen) features increased ear cup volume for natural acoustic loading and spacious soundstage. A dedicated bass port positioned near the jack connector provides precise control over air flow and sub-bass extension. Optimized baffle structure with open grille design reduces diffraction and high-frequency artifacts. Reshaped internal cup geometry enhances midrange balance. These improvements shift from the original warm, V-shaped signature to balanced, neutral presentation with 💣 tighter bass, expanded midrange clarity, and extended treble.
Hand-Crafted Walnut Wood Ear Cups with Sustainable Construction
The Meze 99 Classics (2nd Gen) preserves iconic walnut wood ear cups combining strength, durability, and lightweight properties. Each undergoes CNC machining then hand-finishing through sanding, staining, and polishing. Walnut's natural damping absorbs vibrations while density prevents resonances. Fully serviceable, screw-assembled construction with no glue enables long-term repairs. Eco-friendly recyclable packaging free from plastic and foam.
All-Day Comfort with Detachable Ear Pad Design
The Meze 99 Classics (2nd Gen) features detachable memory foam ear pads with 6-clip mechanism, an improvement over the original 4-clip system for easier replacement. Memory foam conforms to individual contours, distributing pressure evenly. The clip-in mechanism maintains secure attachment for optimal bass response while remaining easy to detach.
Long-Term Value Through Fully Serviceable Design
The Meze 99 Classics (2nd Gen) employs screw-assembled construction with no glue for sustainability and long-term serviceability. At 290 grams with self-adjusting headband and 2-axis ear cup swivel system for comfortable fit.
Premium OFC Kevlar Cable with Enhanced Connector Compatibility
The Meze 99 Classics (2nd Gen) ships with 1.8m dual-twisted OFC Kevlar cable for exceptional durability and tangle resistance. OFC copper provides superior conductivity with minimal signal loss. Kevlar reinforcement improves tensile strength and protects conductors. 7mm input jack connectors enable compatibility with premium aftermarket cables. Detachable design allows cable replacement or upgrade to boutique options.
Personalized Sound with Two Tonalities
The Meze 99 Classics (2nd Gen) includes removable acoustic absorbers enabling tonality switching. Default configuration delivers balanced, neutral tuning for detail-focused listening. With absorbers installed, response shifts closer to original 🍯 warm signature with emphasized bass and treble. The acoustic absorbers modify driver loading rather than applying electronic EQ, avoiding phase shifts.
Complete Package with USB-C DAC/AMP Dongle and Accessories
The Meze 99 Classics (2nd Gen) includes a USB-C wired DAC/AMP dongle with integrated digital-to-analog conversion and headphone amplification for enhanced portable audio. Connects via 📱 USB-C to smartphones, tablets, and laptops for high-quality playback. Also includes 3.5mm to 6.3mm gold-plated adapter for professional audio equipment compatibility and hard EVA carrying pouch for transport protection.
