I use an Astellnkern AK70 with my Meze 99 Neo's. Amazing pairing in my opinion. 'Sparkly neutral' is how I'd describe it. Bass is still there.

I should also say they are fairly isolating. Leakage is minimal. Not as much as leather but still adequate for a closed-back headphone.

So I tried my 99 Neos with the Brainwavz Microsuede pads after like half an hour of struggling to figure out how to put them on lol. They are extremely comfortable, even more than the large-size leather pads that came with the Neos I had on before, and don't overheat. The microsuede is extremely...

Apparently Brainwavz couldn't ship due to restrictions cuz of Covid from Hong Kong. So I just ordered the regular microsuede ones on Amazon. Might get the gaming pads as well later on.

Ordered both...will report here with my findings

so i think im just going to order both the regular micro-suede and the gel micro-suede oval pads from Brainwavz and try both out. If anything I can just give the pair that I like less to my brother to use on his Sennheiser Momentum 2.0's...

yes but these are meant for when you aren't using them

hmm so i guess i can go ahead and buy them then? ive read reports online that the gel makes these 'darker' and warmer than the regular microsuede...

After reading a lot of reviews, I think I've settled on buying Brainwavz Microsuede pads for my Meze 99 Neos to reduce the bass bloat a bit while keeping it isolated still but more comfortable than pleather. But I notice they have a "cooling gel" Microsuede pad as well. Should I go for these or...

Anyone here tried the Cyphereus Red Dragons?

Thanks for this thorough review

true...more for us then i guess haha

do people here think the big manufacturers will make a return to earbuds or no? I personally really dislike IEm's because they hurt my ears. what do people think of the new Audio Technica earbuds that cost like $400?

I just have to say, even after years of tying headphones, the Rose Mojitos stand at the absolute top of the mountain for me. And I'm comparing them even to full-size cans. I haven't heard something as good as them in that market. They have a slightly U shaped sound signature with slightly...

For me I think comfort is the biggest factor

Never used planars before

How about in terms of comfort, how would you assess the 2? And why would you say Aeon is better for my musical tastes?

So I've been looking for a pair of open-back headphones with good soundstage, ok sub-bass extension, great imaging, and above all - comfort to allow for multi-hour listening. Also, I listen to mainly the following genres: R&B, rap/hip-hop, pop, EDM, jazz, and (sometimes) orchestral scores. I've...

Must buy for me. Mojitos are my favourite audio monitors period, full size headphones included.

Mojitos are fairly bright and analytical to my ears

Anyone know of full size cans that have the lush, velvety mids of VE Zen 2.0's? Meze 99's seem to be the only ones I've found like that so far.

What are your thoughts on the differences between them?

Anyone here try both the NightOwls and Meze 99 Classics?

Do you have any experience with the NightOwls?

I'm having trouble deciding between the following 3 for closed-back headphones under $1,000: - Audioquest NightOwl - Meze 99 Classic/Neo - Sony MDR-1A I tried the Meze 99 Classics and Neos in store and they both sounded incredible to my ears, and I even preferred them to more expensive cans...
