Massdrop x Meze 99 Noir

About the Massdrop x Meze 99 Noir

The Massdrop x Meze 99 Noir headphones are a collaboration between Meze Audio and Massdrop, offering a darker, matte espresso finish with black hardware compared to the original 99 Classics. They feature CNC-carved walnut wood ear cups sized 99 mm tall, memory foam ear pads wrapped in soft PU leather, and a stamped manganese spring steel self-adjusting headband for even pressure distribution. These closed-back headphones provide a warm, rich, bassy, and enveloping sound signature that is well-loved by audiophiles and newcomers alike. They are easy to drive with a 32 ohm impedance and have a sensitivity of 103 dB at 1 kHz. The headphones come with a detachable 6-foot Kevlar OFC cable with microphone and remote, a 3.5 mm gold-plated plug, a 6.3 mm adapter, and a woven nylon carrying case. Weighing approximately 260-270 grams, they are comfortable for long listening sessions but do not fold flat for compact storage. The 99 Noir is praised for its build quality, aesthetic, and sound performance, making it a popular choice in the price range.
