Friendly reminder for those with the 99 Noir...check for the extra pads in the box.
When Massdrop launched them, they had extra pads in the box that simulated the very first pads that Meze shipped with the 99 Classics.
A bit less warm. I think most people just thought they were an extra pair of the same pads!

I still think people should try the Meze 99 Classics/Noir with Dekoni Elite sheepskin pads. I absolutely love the sound and feels like two soft pillows on my ears compared to the stock PU leather pads.

I understand the Brainwavz hybrid oval pads are the other very popular pad swap option. In my experience those two seem to be the only pads people talk about with any regularity and it's about 50/50 split for preference

Brainwavz doesn't really care about tuning. They just make pads for fitment. One size fits all. I wager most people that settle on Brainwavz pads never give the Dekoni pads a try. There's both comfort and proper tuning with the Dekoni Elite sheepskin.
"Dekoni worked closely with Meze Audio to create the best earpad for the Meze 99. Hand tested by both companies engineering departments, we’ve achieved sonic excellence with Dekoni comfort.
When you take soft, supple sheepskin and wrap it in dense, slow rebounding memory foam, you increase isolation, comfort and sound stage."
I have issue with Meze's original pads cause my ears are very protruding. My ears touched to driver and after one hour hurting started. So first I bought two different pair of Brainwavz pads. Those are comfortable yes, but look ungly, change sound too much - so I bought Dekoni sheepskin pads even quite high price and those are 1 mm lower than original. Now I'm very happy - no hurting any more thanks to tighter foam inside keeps my ears away from driver- and very very comfortable they are and sound is great. Worth of every euro.

I mean, yes, that's true, but it doesn't mean they don't occasionally also improve the sound, even if only coincidentally. I haven't tried pad swapping my 99 yet at all, but I've definitely had plenty of headphones improved in terms of both comfort and tonality by Brainwavz pads. Definitely not a 100% hit rate, but a high enough hit rate that they are always worth considering, at least. Especially when regarding price

I have many pairs of Brainwavz HM5 pads, they work perfectly on my Ultrasone HFI-780 and German Maestro GMP8.300 D Pro. The fit is very sloppy on the 99 Classics and that bothers my OCD.
How does the Meze 99 classic fit? I just bought a pair; I hope they are not too tight. Nothing is worse than headphones that are too tight. I have Fischer headphones I should give away because they are crazy tight.
