Meze 99 Classics Over Ear Headphones

Meze 99 Classics Over-Ear Headphones

The Meze 99 Classics delivers perfect natural sound even to the pickiest of audio lovers. The walnut wood earcups, soft earpads, and spring steel headband will make the 99 Classics an heirloom rather than just a pair of headphones.

Just like fingerprints, wood grain is unique, making each pair of Meze headphones one of a kind. You will love how they feel in your hands—sturdy build and precise assembly. The earcups are made with satin-finished wood grain. Put them on, sit back, and enjoy your favourite sounds—plucked strings, upbeat grooves, or thumping beats—all while looking classy.

We're taking headphone design to a new level by combining modern with handcrafted design, using natural materials and focusing on delivering the best premium sound. Our aim is to change the perception of headphones as technical devices or cheap plastic accessories, and instead, create a mature product to fall in love with.

The choice of wood is an inherently difficult one. The rich colours 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 entire process of sanding, lacquering, and finishing lasts 45 days. The wooden components are carefully inspected, and no flaws are permitted to reach the final assembly.

It is worth mentioning that all the wood used in our headphones is strictly harvested from certified sources. That is, mature trees that have reached the end of their life cycle. This way, we are helping the environment and giving old trees a chance to shine once more in the form of Meze headphones.
