Did anyone compare them to a portable planar as the Sine or pm 3 ?

I have the DT770 32 ohm and I much prefer the warmer sound of the Meze 99 Classics

Meze 99 any time!
the 770 is veiled and much more bassy as compared to Meze.

DT990
Open back
Need good setup
airy 
Good with songs with bright upper ranges
Amazing soundstage
Built like a tank. Top notch comfort 

Meze 99

Closed back
Very easy to listen to

Punchy bass
On the warm side
Involving
Good (but not great) soundstage.

I Use Meze 99 as the all around can. DT990 when I want the soundstage and the bright upper range.

I mentioned before in this thread 99 Vs PM3, however they were 99 BEFORE 64mm pads update
you can have a pretty complete comparison from these files:

For those who have tried both, how's the bass quantity compared to the X2?

Hey MezeTeam, do you guys have any Black Friday deals on the 99 classics? I've been debating whether I should get them as a Christmas present to myself, and a Black Friday/cyber Monday deal may just help the decision along.

I seem to recall that the price might actually go up a little bit. Don't remember where I read that though. In my opinion they are worth every penny of the current price but there might be an Amazon deal coming, who knows? The problem is that there is no newer 99 Classics model coming out so it's not like they have to get rid of old stock.

Hmmmm.... may have to get them anyway. I obsess over good looking headphones. I actually had the beats studio wireless for a while. (Still have them but I gave them to my dad)
Reading the reviews is what made me want them the most. If I wasn't getting the Trinity Phantom Master 6 I'd order them right now.

The sound and substance surpass the impressive style too. That's what is most surprising to people who try them.

Yes, Meze knows how to combine beautiful aesthetics plus solid sound quality!

Shamefully, I must say that I have 70mm long ears. I wonder if I would get a comfortable fit using the 64mm pads. Anyone with my size of ears who could share his/her experience?
 
Also, which would be the best relatively low priced DAC/Amp for the 99's?
 
Thanks.

The Meze are stupid-easy to drive...I had some of my best listening out of My Dragonfly 1.2...the new Dragonfly Black is only $99.  That's about as cheap as I can think of...anything inexpensive from Fiio et all would likely work, too.

Considering I won't make atm a greater investment than the 99 classics, would I really benefit from the red more than the black? Would looking for a DSD compatible DAC even matter with this headphones? I was exactly looking for a Black like investment, but I would go for the red if it would benefit my listening experience. I just want what's right for the 99's. I currently have an old sflo2, the Galaxy s7 edge, a x1 yoga notebook at the office, and the Sennheiser ie8 iems.
