Beloved by audiophiles and design enthusiasts alike, they redefined what headphones could be: an object of passion and precision.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTen years later, Meze Audio celebrates this legacy with the \u003cstrong\u003e99 Classics V2\u003c\/strong\u003e – a refined evolution that preserves the spirit of the original while elevating sound, comfort, and durability to new levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSound – Ten Years, Ten Improvements\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003e99 Classics V2\u003c\/strong\u003e retain the familiar, inviting character of the original, developing it into a more balanced, neutral sound profile. The bass remains present but more controlled, allowing mids and highs to be experienced with greater clarity and definition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA newly developed driver matching based on combined cosine and level matching algorithms ensures more precise channel tuning in the mids and highs – for a more stable stereo image and consistent performance from device to device.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe slightly increased internal volume of the earcups allows for deeper acoustic control, while improved sealing and a dedicated bass port enhance precision, left-right consistency, and reproducibility of individual units.
