These may resemble bass of the Nighthawk Carbon in quantity but not quality. Nighthawk Carbon have much higher quality bass, and they have more of a W signature imo. If you want more detail and better soundstage the Nighthawk Carbon are much better. But if you want a portable closed back bass machine, these are probably something people would like.
I meant with the alcantara pads. Tighten up the bass and makes it closer to the nighthawks. But with more energy in the treble and mids.
good luck with that lol that just sounds like a driver problem
I would still take the Nighthawk any day. Or if you want clear treble and amazing sub bass the 1More Triple Driver are way better imo.

yeah the 1more are great. but these are nice too.
Just did a review of these headphones here:
Just saw DMSās review of the Neo and he loved them. said he tried a bunch of pads with them, said they sounded best with the brainwaves velour pads

how do these compare to dt770s?
They arenāt as wide and refined (going off of the 250 ohms here), and have more boosted bass and midbass, where the 770 has more of a subbass boost. I think they are somewhat similar detail wise but I prefer the presentation on the 770. The 770 also has better imaging. I do think the meze might be more fun for some though
I think the 770 is more comfy but the meze has the detachable cable and nice case which makes it easier to travel with

I get to have a listen later this week to a pair but after that description Iām not terribly excited lol
I mean Iām not a fan but if you want something inoffensive and fun, they are right up your alley I think, judge for yourself. Even if I hear negative things about a headphone, I will still want to hear it, I just like listening to new and different things nonetheless lol
Completely agreeā¦ also minced words and didnt mean to offend anyone who likes theseā¦ always good to hear more headphones regardless
Iām personally a fan itās really fun and itās a great bass head can of your tastes lean towards hip hop , EDM , or pop
hip hop for sureā¦ I am looking forward to listening to itā¦ you have the liquid spark right? thatās a good pairing?
Thatās a pretty warm and bassy pairing, should be fun

Itās should be a good pairing.
I havnt heard the DT770. But i have heard the 880ās and i like these headphones way way more. They sound fantastic. And i think itās better all around headphone than the DT880. These headphones are famous. i keep seeing them pop up in audiophile areaās of the internet with people just loving them. Darko said their his favorite headphone to listen to casually. If you buy the Noir from Massdrop make sure you swap the pads and check out the other pads that come with them. i thought it sounded much better with them. also the ones i got where on sale for 160$
right onā¦ thanks for the insightā¦ im offloading headphones right now like its my job so thereās definitely room in the stable 
In no way is this a better all around headphone than the 880. The DT880 600 ohm has much better imaging accuracy, soundstage, and overall is much more natural sounding.
The 99 Noir are definitely a more fun pair, great if you love bass and want a more fun sound and more bass. Very fun headphones. But there is a reason why the 880 600 ohm are used for music production on low budgets lol, and also by competitive gamers, whereas these are used for casual listening and on the go use when you want a lot of bass. The DT880 600 ohm are in no way at all inferior to these. You canāt just say things like that, itās too subjective lol. And even then many would agree that the 880 are better all around.
But I would not recommend the 880 if you are looking for a fun bassy sound. These have way more bass. They are certainly an option if thatās what you are looking for.
