I use the M100 Masters for gaming, along with conference calls and music listening/making. It has very good transient speed, good imaging and a fairly wide soundstage. For me that has translated to punchy, realistic and accurate sound in games. I can hear directional cues fairly clearly in...

By all means, looking forward to your impressions of the new small pads if you decide to get them. I doubt they will match the sound though since yours are so broken-in and you'll be acclimated to that. I'll post my own quick impressions when I get them, and hopefully promptly after that I will...

@Mhog55 Here, these are the small pads that Meze now sells as of around July 2020: LINK They are not the same pads as the original, they are the "new small pads". I refrained from calling them the original pads because they are supposedly changed somewhat. Reading through user experiences and...

Thought I'd share a quick update: I'm yet to get a hold of the "new small" pads from Meze, but have found that turning on the Late Night EQ on iPhone cuts the bass boom while leaving the rest of the FR relatively untouched. It sounds slightly more correct while still having an underlying bass...

Just FYI, Meze now also sells the “original” small pads through their site and on Amazon. They supposedly restore the original tuning (which the new stock pads ruin) while also being more comfortable than the original pads that came with the first iteration of the 99C. Comfort was the biggest...

I think it's because the M50 has a thicker driver film on the earpad and the driver grill itself is rather smooth. The Meze isn't bad, it's actually getting better but I definitely noticed it after wearing my V-Modas for a bit (which push on the same area in the ear). I discovered you can wear...

I have the same issue, upper cartilage rubbing on the driver grill. Not a problem on things like an M50x but on these the earpads aren't quite deep enough and it's a thin mesh. Also, I've just realized my pads are thinner than the one in Metal571's review. I guess he had the second revision. I...
