MEDIA REVIEWS

The 99 Neo’s sound is clear and richly balanced, and these closed-back over-the ear headphones do a good job hushing external noise.

C Net

Blessedly, Neo is just as capable in the soundstage as the 99C, being one of the widest and deepest closed-back headphones on the market.

The Headphonelist

The Meze 99 Neo is more than just a good sounding headphone. The look and feel of it combined with the sound provided all add up to make it an experience that’s quite unique.

Head-Fi

Overall, the differences aren’t huge. Meze 99 Neo is as much, if not more, 99 Classic as a twenty times washed Van Halen t-shirt is a Van Halen t-shirt. It should please those looking for a rougher, more tumbly listen that follows the original as closely as possible.

Headfonia

Once again, I fully recommend giving 99 Neo a chance, especially if you are looking for a headphone in this price bracket, as it is one of the most interesting entries you can find and you might fall in love with the sound!

Audiophile Heaven

The 99 Neo is a great addition to Meze’s lineup. As Meze’s “entry-level” headphones, I find it to have a pretty great value, especially for those who don’t particularly want the extra luxury of wooden ear cups or fully-Kevlar cables. All in all, I can say I recommend the Meze 99 Neo.

I like em

I think the Meze 99 Neo's are a good pair of headphones. I ponder how they would be if they were the classics instead, but I must save the money. They sound very nice, very adjustable, the earcups are comfortable. I like the balance in the sound, very nice for music

Exceptional headphones

As someone who got used to cheaper earbuds and gaming headsets, the 99 Neos are like a breath of fresh air. The sound is wider and clearer than anything else I have heard, and to top it off, they are one of the most comfortable headphones I've worn. And they are way cheaper than what most big companies are putting out. They don't offer much in terms of noise cancelling, so they're not ideal for travel. But as listening headphones, they exceeded every expectation I had.

Hello, Andrew!
Thank you loads for the review, we appreciate you taking the time.
May you enjoy countless hours of music listening & gaming with the NEO.
We'd appreciate if you let us know about the gaming experience with the headphone.
Best,
The Meze Audio Team.

If there were a 'Meze Anonymous' self-help group I would have to join. Since unboxing and using my 99 Neos, I am struggling to be without them but delighted when I can have my next 'fix'.
I own several high quality headphones, over ear, on ear, in ear etc., – all are now ignored in favour of the Neos. My previous favourites were the BeyerDynamic 770Pros – which are stunning – but the 99 Neos are next level and as close to perfection as I'd ever care to be. I have tested them on every type of music genre (pop, jazz, rock, heavy rock, classical, folk) at every level of recording quality from scratchy and white-noisey to the highest quality recordings and they bring out amazing detail at every frequency. Involved mid-tones are complemented by perfectly detailed trebles plus a full and undistorted bass. They have turned many previously 'liked' recordings into the 'loved' masterpieces the recording artist was aiming for.
These are hugely comfortable to wear for long periods (many hours) and give amazing isolation – better than many noise cancelling headphones.
If you can handle aural perfection, buy the 99 Neos.

Красиво, удобно и хорошо звучит.

Первое что хочу отметить качество сборки самих наушников, ничего не скрипит, не люфтит конструкция - просто монолит!
Сомневался удобно ли будет носить из-за дуги над головой, но по факту невероятно удобные наушники.
Самое главное, звук, насыщенный и приятный просто хочется брать и слушать.
Из минусов - мне не понравился кабель. Он постоянно перекручивается и держит какую-то свою форму.
