Meze Audio 99 Classics Closed Back Headphones

Dive into a world where passion meets functionality. Created for the music enthusiasts who put sound and build quality first, the 99 Classics are made to transcend fast-changing trends, becoming true heirlooms.

When it comes to wood patterns, there’s never two alike. Age, color, texture and grain come into play to create a pair of headphones as unique as you. Put them on, lean back, and enjoy!

We created the 99 Classics to show that technical accessories can be more than just about performance. We view headphones as vessels that contain our love for artistic expression and celebrate individuality. Every little detail matters.

The choice of wood is an inherently difficult one. The rich colors of walnut require the use of air drying, a long and expensive procedure.

The process of shaping just a single pair of earcups takes up to 8 hours. The whole process of sanding, lacquering, and finishing lasts 45 days.

One last step is left - a careful inspection of the wooden parts, to ensure that no imperfections pass through.

We think about our headphones breaking from the earliest stages of product development. If we want to slow down replacement cycles and create something to be enjoyed for years, we have to find solutions for anything that could go wrong before it even happens.

That’s why we make the 99 Classics fully serviceable. Earcups, headband, cables or driver, all pieces are replaceable.
