Made from cast zinc alloy with a coal-black electroplated coating, it combines a contemporary black look with the best of the materials. The thickly padded memory earcups make a product that not only looks luxurious but also makes you feel special. 40MM NEODYMIUM MAGNETS FOR A RICH, BALANCED SOUND A 40mm Neodymium magnet is placed on the side of each earcup and is designed to resonate in harmony providing a nice and wide soundstage. Rather than resorting to artificially tuned frequencies, the drivers provide dynamic contrast for a more natural listening experience. COMFORTABLE FOR LONG LISTENING SESSIONS Meze has done exhaustive research in order to find the right material and technology for each component of the 99 Neo. To combat discomfort of any kind, the manganese spring steel headband delivers even pressure for any head size. The earcups consist of memory foam earpads and soft PU leather making these perfect for long listening sessions. BUILT TO BE STYLISH AND DURABLE The headphones have cast zinc alloy hardware with an electroplated coating, stamped manganese spring steel headband and internal components are made of durable ABS and silicone parts. Construction uses no glue, just nuts and bolts. The cables are made with kevlar fibres, thereby combining the best of craftsmanship and sturdiness. SERVICEABLE IN EVERY PART The Meze 99 Neo is built to last you generations with its replaceable parts and sturdy build. Besides the usual warranty that every brand offers, the 99 Neo’s parts are endlessly serviceable. Each component can be easily substituted for another. So, if any part of the headphone is damaged you can simply replace it instead of going for a new pair of headphones.
