You can backorder almost every part, good quality, the kind that Germany gave its reputation.

They are super-comfortable, I abused them for years and they’re still rock solid. Here is my 2 cents, I have a Meze 99 Classic and Beyer 880/990’s. I’m more concerned about extreme tightness. Since you’ve mentioned fit/comfort, clamping force on either one of these an issue? I prefer a tighter headphone, but its not deal breaker if one is slightly looser or tighter than the other. My ears are not that big so I don’t really have an issue with slightly small pads on the Meze. I am not opposed to getting an open back set, however I think I value isolation more than soundstage and imaging since it is not a priority in the least bit.

Like I mentioned in my previous post I have a noisy fan, AC, and PC or 2 running at any given time and I just want to not hear them. I mostly want closed back headphones for isolation, the bass is just a plus. In terms of other audio devices I’ve used Jabra Elite 75t and Samsung Buds+, but I don’t plan to be using a wired headset on my phone at all. I’ve used Razer Krakens and Corsair HS60 in the past as well. Right now I’m just using a gaming headset, Cooler Master MH 630, which I would still switch onto for something like a discord call with friends. Mezes look amazing, Beyers look utilitarian with an attached cable. Meanwhile the Beyers are pretty widely accomodating from a comfort perspective.ĭo you have any audio reference place you’re coming from, to gague expectations? Also, though I understand some folks like to really “isolate”, but… none of your reasons stated would be compelling to me to choose a closed-back over open-back (outside of BASS levels, which may be important with the given genres).įit on Meze seems to be an issue, with replacement pads being requisite for some people.

Those Beyer drivers are relatively inefficient, old-school - so despite even lowER impedance levels option - they’re not the easiest piece to power. I feel like the Mezes are always going to be easier to power though.

The Beyers have a variety of impedance choices. Not sure how critical the gaming element of this is, but if closed-back is requisite - Beyer has a massive gaming following. I’ve seen conflicting opinions regarding Meze 99 soundstage.
