The 99 Classics are exceptional headphones. Not only do they look amazing with a very sleek design, the wooden finish offers a very luxurious and modern touch to the headphones. I was especially impressed by the quality; its durable construction and ability to block out external sounds while maintaining a crisp and even sound ensure very easy listening. The 99 Classics are easily one of the most comfortable headphones I have owned, and I was very impressed by the variety of cords that are included. I am certain that I will be using these headphones for many more years to come.
