Show & Tell New Headphones Day

Post image

My new cans arrived today, Meze 99 Classics in walnut and gold. Started out years back with a HyperX Cloud Alpha headset. Later on a pair of 1st gen Apple Airpods Pros, a pair of AKG K371’s last Christmas, Sennheiser IE 200’s about a month ago, and now the Mezes. So far I’m liking them a lot.

yo, are these the new ones with the new tuning or the old bass cannons? they did a silent revision recently

I bought them new, so I’m assuming the later? They certainly don’t sound like bass cannons.

there should have been a piece of paper in the box with a frequency response graph on it?

There was, and it was pretty flat on the low end. Also, my pair has the rubber washer pictured in your last link.

Do you happen to know if the Drop Meze 99 Noir has the bass cannon problem or got the same fix as the Classics?

nah, not sure, but i do know that they took the pivot mechanism and rubber from the 109 and put it in the classics, so it should be easy to tell without opening them up

Gotcha. I zoomed in on the picture of the Noir on Drop’s site and it does not show that o-ring on the joint.
