…sound the quality as heard subjectively blows through all technical assumptions and comes together in a terrifically fun listening experience. Time after time as I compared these cans against others in its category I found them not only superior in balance and natural sound, but also delivering a far more fun listening experience than competitors. The Meze 99 Classic will be hitting the “Wall of Fame” with such a wallop that it will knock both the NAD VISO HP50 and Audio Technica ATH-MSR7 off and into retirement.
From a been-there-heard-that perspective that’s been turned deep green with jadedness over the years, I thought Meze’s 99 Classics a truly lovely discovery. In fact, I’ll take ‘em with me in their clamshell case for our upcoming winter vacation, to have some music in our seaside B&B in case it rains. From our non-IEM porta options, it’d be my first choice. That might tell you all you need to know.
