@Antpage2 Replying here to What did you buy today?
I like them so far. They’re the upgrade for my Superlux HD681Evo with Brainwavz XL pads.
They definitely have more detail and better imaging. The bass is kinda the same The bass is tighter, slappier, mmmmm.
Tried the EQ from this review for a bit last night and it completely changes them, not sure yet if I like it for actual listening but it’s crazy how much they change and still sound good: https://www.audiophile-heaven.com/2017/04/meze-99-classics.html Edit: This EQ seems to be distorting high freq. with some songs, either I didn’t EQ properly or something else is wrong. Fun to test but no more EQ until I get a good reference of how they sound.
Comfort is not as good on the ears since they touch a lot of my ear, but still good, just not car tire levels good like the BW XL. The 99C headband is perfect however. They slide on perfectly and float on the head.
The swivels are very loose on mine, but Meze has a video on how to adjust it, so I guess it doesn’t void the warranty if I open them up.
Cables are meh, the “kevlar” part is microphonic and janky. I preffer the rubber coating like the upper parts of the wires.
I like them.
Do they actually benefit from better amps? Would something like the Q5S be worth it for them? Have a BTR3 and the stereo receiver headphone out, and an LG G7. Power is clearly not a problem, but maybe a better dac would help.
