For $17? Hellllllllll yeh

@Krmpfpks 6 лет назад

Nice green screen. However with the dynamic shots in the background it makes me feel a little dizzy and it doesn’t make up for the sound. You sitting in front of a mic feels much more intimate. Love your reviews though, I would stay here however you present them.

@krokenlochen 6 лет назад

Lol I get going budget for a green screen but then the halo effect and sometimes the image coming through your shirt just looks like lesser quality than your other videos. I'd rather see voiceovers and closer shots.

@JustCreepInc 4 года назад

such a great review. you are one of the best reviewers. nobody has so clear and simultaniously serious aproach

@jesse1999p 6 лет назад

The green screen is great and all, but (nothing against you) its somewhat boring to watch you just standing there with some footage in background 5min straight. Would be nice, if you could cut between yourself and some normal shots

@zenraphael5889 6 лет назад

The pads were changed around early 2017 to make them bigger, changing the sound greatly. Try putting the PSB M4U1 pads on, or the ATH MSR7 pads, as they supposedly make them sound like they would with the older pads. I have not heard them with the MSR7 pads or the old pads, but with the PSB Pads, they sound much more balanced, with non - overly boosted, well controlled bass, smooth clear mids, and non - fatiguing highs. They sound really good now.

@GrandHeresiarch 6 лет назад

Echoes aside your presentation and review is really well done.

@dixiestephens3357 6 лет назад

Like the green screen effect but also enjoy the close ups of you sitting at your desk. Great thinking on the Dollar Store green poster board for a green wall!

@warfam_clan6933 3 года назад

I have owned these in the past and they are absolutely awesome. In reality, they are very good for music listening as they have a fun V shaped sound signature. Feed these phones more voltage from a good headphone amp and the bass tightens up nicely and the sound signature takes on a more balanced form. Mostly I disagree with DMS on ' these are only good for movies and gaming' as this is not true at all!

@soulfulfool 2 года назад

yes! they need proper amp I'm using D70/887 THX stack 💪 2nd gain 12'oclock they are on power to show full potential, they hit harder than planars in that price

This is the best review for this headphone ever

@sdureka1088 6 лет назад

This was cool! Good work

@Phillisteum 2 года назад

Great channel! I've found it recently. Between these and the AKG K371, which one is more pleasant for you? Also, which one would have less fatiguing bass? Soundstage? I mean, I'm probably resquesting here a full comparison video :P Any thoughts on those two would be great. Cheers!

@kenshinesca 6 лет назад

Can you pad swap with the classics like you can with the Meze Neo?

@sikonez5227 6 лет назад

I second saberstar. My question is the lines around you are from lighting? Something under the green screen?

@Princeton_James 3 года назад

That's why we all have several pairs of headphones. Other reviewers have said for movies and games these would be good. I'm happy to give these a try for my games.

@BigBoss-gb4cx 6 лет назад

So do you recommend anything else instead of the Meze 99? Any other closed headphone that's sounds better and has pretty much the same pricetag?

@fossilfern 3 года назад

What would you recommend now for this price point ? I’m mainly going to use these headphones for gaming and music. I was torn between these or the Sundara but it’ll probably be my last headphone purchase for a LONG time!

@csazlzzzzz6209 3 года назад

What other headphones drive good with a iPhone and the dongle that sound better than the meze 99s?

@MacDiggity 6 лет назад

What software do you use to put the image backgrounds over the green screen?

@tili_ 6 лет назад

what’s the compensation curve you used for the FR graph?

@TraceurDoc1 5 лет назад

Went out and bought these, expecting more. There’s a lot missing in the mids! I returned a pair of Grado RS2e’s, which sounded amazing in comparison, but with crappy build quality. Guess I should’ve kept them. I’m trying to keep budget under $700 as this is my first set of real cans.

@cybervaldez 6 лет назад

its like watching a weather casting unfortunately but youre awesome for trying dms :)

@hazi5961 6 лет назад

I just purchased the Meze 99 Classics...larger pads. Bass was loose and flabby, the mids and treble were fuzzy, but there also was a sharp 4 to 5 kHz spike that took over the sound signature. I have been pad rolling for over 2 weeks now. I noticed there hasn't been a consensus pad as a replacement. I was becoming highly discouraged while pad rolling... last minute, I tried the Dekoni Elite Sheepskin pads for the ATH-M50x....WHAT AN IMPROVEMENT! I highly recommend those of you who aren't happy with the sound signature with the newer Meze pads to check out the Dekoni Elite Sheepskin pads for the ATH-M50x. I think they sound amazing on the Meze 99 Classics.

@BigBoss-gb4cx 6 лет назад

Have you tried the Brainwavz Sheepskin Leather pads? I heard they are extremely good for this headphone.

@hazi5961 6 лет назад

Big Boss I thought they sounded poorly on the Meze's. The midbass became ultra muddy. The treble was toned down, which I preferred, but the bloom in the bass and mids was awful.

@BigBoss-gb4cx 6 лет назад

Hazi59 _ Aha, I have the original pad, but heard good things about the Brainwavz pads and of course I always appreciate any sound improvement, so I was thinking about getting them.

@sirjared21 6 лет назад

Hey thanks for the rec Hazi59

@audiosmackdown 6 лет назад

Love the green screen. However, sometimes less is more on graphis, photos and videos. #justsayin

@bogler23 6 лет назад

Green screen with weatherman style frequency graphs is an absolute win! However, just need to fix your voice recording situation, sounds tinni, and hollow.

@iliketoreadiliketothink1763 6 лет назад

Good discussion. Correct me if I’m wrong but I think They changed the pads, and many say they like the way the Meze 99 classics better before they changed the pads.

@jarodferkin2585 6 лет назад

I have the original pads version and I will tell you straight up, they are fantastic I love them. Bass impact is strong but definitely not like what he says and imo they are not nearly as unnatural as the newer ones, but ya no one thinks the new pads sound better. I’m trying to sell them though because my ears are too big and it hurts a little.

@DMS3TV 6 лет назад

yeah these are the newest pads. I never heard the older pads.

@666chege 6 лет назад

Loved new format. But the mic, we should do something about it.

@systembooms69 5 лет назад

Better sound than Sennheiser HD380 Pro?

@Conno422 3 года назад

If you see this 2 years after you've posted this video, would you still recommend these headphones? I'm just looking for a comfortable sounding headphone to use in the < $250 range and the Noir variant on Drop is what I'm currently eyeing right now.

@DMS3TV 3 года назад

Probably not now, sorry. If you need a closed-back the K361 is better and only $99. K371 if you like extra bass.

@Conno422 3 года назад

@@DMS3TV O! YOU REPLIED! Thank you! I'll trust your input then since I'm still fairly new to headphones. I've been lurking for a couple of years, but just haven't made any large purchases.

@antoinep9733 6 лет назад

A portable headphone that doesn’t fold is not much use to me. They are good looking suckers though, I’ll give you that. Green screen was great for graphs and product close-ups, but don’t over do it, I was getting a little motion sickness by the end 🤢

@Lightning-qv3ss 3 года назад

would you recommend the noir version by drop , its 200$ and I'm not sure if the sound is the same ?

@DMS3TV 3 года назад

Actually in 2020 I would now recommend other closed-back headphones. If you like bass, k371, otherwise k361 is great and cheap.

@gargin1633 Год назад

That is definitely the hair style of all time.

@tormaid42 6 лет назад

Maybe try and get another light-you’re casting a shadow on your green screen :P Good review, though!

@fuffy442 6 лет назад

And yet, Zeos loved them. It's hard to get a handle on the differences in your preferences which, naturally, effect the relevance of your reviews to us watching. Can you offer any clarification on your preferences. I know what I want, and knowing what you and Zeos want would be very helpful.

@DMS3TV 6 лет назад

I generally prefer neutral, accurate, and comfortable headphone because of my background in sound engineering. In some cases I find an unnatural sound signature (such as LCD2) enjoyable but its not quite as often.

@fuffy442 6 лет назад

DMS3 TV - Thanks. That helps. FWIW, my reference sound is the ER4 SR. Would you say that's close to yours?

@Jowurel 6 лет назад

Zeos reviewed them 2 years ago. The 99 Classics have gone through three iterations of pad changes since then, all affecting the sound in some way. Everyone agrees that their latest sound is objectively inferior to their first release of the Classics. The 99 Classics Zeos reviewed aren’t the same as the ones reviewed in this video. Keep that in mind.

@fuffy442 6 лет назад

Jowurel - That's an excellent point.

@BigBoss-gb4cx 6 лет назад

+Jowurel Is the only difference the change of pads? Or is there something else? How can you fix it?

@1saberstar 6 лет назад

I like the green screen, but fix the room sound asap

@heliopijpe 6 лет назад

@mariocervantes6769 6 лет назад

how come beats with their really bassy signature sound, high distortion and looks, be any different from these, just because its an underground company and they have wooden earcups, nowdays even bassy and high distortion headphones are being referred to as "good", come on, these meze 99 are not different from monster or beats or any of those other brands
