We're taking headphone design to a new level by combining modern with hand crafted design, using natural materials and focusing on delivering the best premium sound
Our aim is to change the perception of headphones as technical devices or as cheap plastic accessories and create a mature product to fall in love with
The choice of wood is an inherently difficult one. The rich colors of walnut require the use of air drying, a long and expensive procedure. The process of shaping just a single pair of earcups takes up to 8 hours. The whole process of sanding, lacquering, and finishing lasts 45 days. The wooden components are carefully inspected and no flaws are permitted to reach the final assembly.
It is worth mentioning that all the wood that we use in our headphones is strictly harvested from sources with certificate of origin. That is, mature trees that have reached the end of their life cycle. This way, we are helping the environment and we're giving the old trees a chance to shine one more time in the shape of Meze headphones.
The sound of the 99 Classics is crisp and clear, offering non distorted and balanced sound
We aimed for perfection in every component we designed. CNC carved wood ear cups, cast zinc alloy hardware with electroplated coating, stamped manganese spring steel headband, memory foam and soft PU leather are the materials your hands and eyes will get to enjoy. No plastic here for you to see.
Besides the usual warranty everybody is offering, we guarantee that the 99's are serviceable if any parts would ever need to be replaced because we built these headphones to last
