MEDIA REVIEWS
The new 99 Classic V2 isn’t just a cosmetic refresh; it’s a full acoustic overhaul that comes much closer to delivering on the "classic" promise of the original.
10 years, 10 improvements, and one headphone that has become quite an icon in head-fi circles. This new model brings them up a notch in sound, and without the additional tuning pads, they are a more refined headphone in every way. They have clarity, control, energy, and most of all, they are fun...
The 99 Classics 2nd Generation was engineered to refine the original’s strengths while addressing its limitations. Meze’s goal was clear: maintain the signature bass warmth but control it for precision, create a more linear response across the mids and treble, and ensure every unit performs consistently.
The one aspect that has intrigued me is the fact that once I put them on, I wanted to keep them on and went on a 5-hour listening spree on day one. That was because these bring to the table what I call “fun factor”.
