Meze 99 Classics – Walnut Wood Audiophile Headphones FAQs

Do the 99 Classics need an amp or DAC?

They’re easy to drive, and will sound fine from phones, laptops, and portable players; however, a higher-quality source or DAC/amp can clean up detail and headroom for critical listening.

Are pads/headband/parts replaceable

Meze sells replacement earpads and headbands (and their site and dealers list spare parts), and many users report straightforward repairs/mods because parts are screw-assembled rather than glued.

What is the sound signature

The spring-steel headband and memory-foam pads make them comfortable for hours, and the wood/metal build is robust. A minority of users report pads eventually flaking (common with PU pads across many brands), but replacements are available.

Are they comfortable for long sessions and how durable are they?
