Everything that I love about the Meze 99 Classics, but at a more affordable price point. Thats the 99 Neo. And I absolutely love them. Its also tuned with a more laidback and warmer sound for a more modern signature.

DESCRIPTION
A HEADPHONE THAT'S JUST AS SPECIAL AS YOU
The Meze 99 Neo is beautiful. Made from cast zinc alloy with a coal-black electroplated coating, it combines a contemporary black look with the best of the materials. The thickly padded memory earcups make a product that not only looks luxurious but also makes you feel special.
40MM NEODYMIUM MAGNETS FOR A RICH, BALANCED SOUND
A 40mm Neodymium magnet is placed on the side of each earcup and is designed to resonate in harmony providing a nice and wide soundstage. Rather than resorting to artificially tuned frequencies, the drivers provide dynamic contrast for a more natural listening experience.
COMFORTABLE FOR LONG LISTENING SESSIONS
Meze has done exhaustive research in order to find the right material and technology for each component of the 99 Neo. To combat discomfort of any kind, the manganese spring steel headband delivers even pressure for any head size. The earcups consist of memory foam earpads and soft PU leather making these perfect for long listening sessions.
BUILT TO BE STYLISH AND DURABLE
The headphones have cast zinc alloy hardware with an electroplated coating, stamped manganese spring steel headband and internal components are made of durable ABS and silicone parts. Construction uses no glue, just nuts and bolts. The cables are made with kevlar fibres, thereby combining the best of craftsmanship and sturdiness.
SERVICEABLE IN EVERY PART
The Meze 99 Neo is built to last you generations with its replaceable parts and sturdy build. Besides the usual warranty that every brand offers, the 99 Neo's parts are endlessly serviceable. Each component can be easily substituted for another. So, if any part of the headphone is damaged you can simply replace it instead of going for a new pair of headphones.

| Experts Verdict |
"The Meze - 99 Neo should please those looking for a rougher, more tumbly listen that follows the original as closely as possible.” Headfonia |

"The Audio Technica ATH-M70x was a very pleasant surprise, it's very much an audiophile grade headphone, built to last, and sound great while doing so." Cnet |
"The V-Moda M-100 Master is a compelling pair of headphones. Its price hits the sweet spot for premium cans and durability is leagues ahead of the competition." Soundguys |

"The Neo 99 is a great headphone and value wise I think it is definitely worth considering if you were looking at the Classics but didn't quite have the funds."
"If you prefer EDM, some R’n’B and less vocal focused then the 99 Neo is your better choice. I find that slightly darker tone, more diffuse and sustained bass presence and contrasting treble response."
