When you look at everything dismantled in the picture below it is a surprisingly simple but effective build.

Wrapping around your ear, the 99 Classics are not only comfortable but isolate you from the outside world – letting you hear even more detail.I have owned two high-end, audio salons, I’ve written for Positive Feedback as an Associate Editor, and I’ve written over 50 reviews for AudioKeyReviews. Classical tracks like Tchaikovsky and Brahms are displayed with all the grandeur and excitement you want. And the duo of the Meze 99 Classics and the DragonFly Cobalt don’t miss a beat in conveying every scintilla of emotion, every word beautifully captured, as well as the air and space around both Joan Shelly and guitarist Nathan Salsburg. And a transparency that liberated layers of detail, microdynamics, nuance, air, and staging cues—separation, positioning, layering. Whether they get sent to me or purchased from the site’s ad revenue, it doesn't matter; everything gets a fair shake.

However, like most passive headphones, these won’t isolate much below 300Hz, and you will probably hear engine rumbles and vehicle noise along with your music. Whilst the TS plugs are not exactly proprietary they are a bit on the slim side and the insertion depth of the connector socket in the cup is quite deep. To be eligible for a refund, your item must be unused/unopened and in the same condition that you received it. And I expected, after a few seconds of this lower frequency uplight, to hear a higher frequency downturn.If for some reason you’re hearing audible distortion, noise, or other artifacts: you may want to look into a DAC or soundcard.
