Meze Audio 99 Classics Walnut Headphones (Closed-Back)

Meze Audio 99 Classics Closed Back Headphones 

Overview

The Meze Audio 99 Classics remain one of the most celebrated closed-back headphones of the modern hi-fi era. Since its introduction, they quickly earned worldwide acclaim for their organic sound, luxurious craftsmanship, and long-term comfort — headphones built not for trends, but for timeless enjoyment.

Each pair is handcrafted in Romania, reflecting Meze Audio’s philosophy that great sound begins with honest materials. The solid walnut wood earcups are individually CNC-machined, sanded, and polished by hand, revealing natural variations in grain and tone that make every set unique. Their warmth isn’t just visual; the wooden chamber shapes the audio with a natural resonance that enhances tonal richness and realism.

Inside, a 40 mm dynamic driver delivers the signature Meze sound — smooth, musical, and emotionally engaging. The closed-back design of the 99 Classics headphones present a warm, full-bodied character with tight bass, fluid mids, and a sweet, detailed treble. The tuning favours long listening sessions, making it a favourite among music lovers who value immersion over analysis.

The closed-back design provides effective passive isolation while keeping an open sense of space. Instrument placement feels natural, and vocals sit forward and lifelike. Whether you’re listening to vinyl, digital, or lossless streaming, the 99 Classics headphones translate recordings into a relaxed yet precise sonic landscape.

Comfort is a hallmark of Meze design. The self-adjusting headband and lightweight spring-steel frame ensure even pressure and fatigue-free wear. The large memory-foam earpads, wrapped in soft vegan leather, create a secure acoustic seal and excellent comfort for hours of playback.

Durability and serviceability are built in. The 99 Classics use a screw-assembled construction with no glue or plastic joints, allowing easy part replacement if ever required. Every element — from the zinc-alloy hardware to the detachable cables — has been engineered to stand the test of time.

Connectivity is simple and universal. The dual 3.5 mm sockets support a wide range of aftermarket cables and balanced upgrades. Included are two Kevlar-reinforced OFC cables, one short for portable use and one longer for home listening, along with a 6.3 mm adapter and a hard carrying case.

Sonically, the 99 Classics headphones have become an icon for a reason. They combine the inviting warmth of analogue with the precision of modern engineering. Music flows naturally, voices sound intimate, and instruments breathe with texture and life. It’s the kind of sound that makes you stop analysing and simply listen.

For Groove Central listeners who appreciate craftsmanship, emotion, and musical truth, the Meze Audio 99 Classics headphones remain an enduring reference. They are proof that timeless design and heartfelt engineering never go out of style.
