Real walnut
Every pair starts with solid walnut. The cups are CNC-machined, then hand-finished, stained, and polished to reveal the grain’s natural depth. Walnut is tough, lightweight, and acoustically resonant, lending a gentle warmth to the sound. Durable enough to last years and refined enough to display on your desk.
Two tonalities in one
The 2nd Gen ships with a set of acoustic absorbers that let you tailor the sound to your taste. Leave them out for a more neutral, open presentation, or install them for a warmer, closer signature reminiscent of the original 99 Classics. Either way, the character is unmistakably Meze—smooth, detailed, and never fatiguing.
Comfort that adapts to you
A self-adjusting headband made from vegan leather and spring steel distributes weight automatically across your head. The result is a comfortable, secure fit that disappears as soon as the music starts.
Ear pads built to last
The new clip-in ear pad system uses six secure clips per pad for easy replacement or cleaning. Crafted from medium-density foam and soft vegan leather, they form a lasting seal that enhances bass response while keeping long sessions fatigue-free.
