How to open this one ? It used special screws.

Allen keys. Hardware store. Metric ones i would assume.

I am a bit intrigued now. Why do you want to open it?

Apply mod for custom cable. My cable will come tomorrow.

It seems to be working right now.

I do agree, though, the Meze cable, when released, is clearly the simplest solution. But I like to build my own.

Yes, me too. I have ordered 16 feet of an 8-wire occ braid of ebay one week ago to build an 8 feet balanced extension. I just have to order those ridiculously expensive pieces of plastic ( in black so it's not too ugly), those suggested connectors and a y splitter and use the 8 feet left to make a proper cable for the Meze, Should be a piece of cake.

Just so you know, the braiding, at least a four-strand round braid, is not hard at all. Just a little time consuming. Not bad, though. I can build a cable in an evening, braid and all. And the soldering is a lot easier before it's braided. I do the audio plug first. Then braid, and work my way up to the ear cups.

I am confortable with the 3-wire one. Will have to learn the 4-wire one. I just ordered everything. Plugs, pieces of plastic, splitter. 80 usd shipping included. Happy, the search is over. Should be very good.

why not order the plugs from Meze and just use them? just a suggestion since they are available now.

They are most probably too small for the cable i bought.

 

[MezeTeam]

   please keep us informed about the cable as i really really want to have one for my 99`s.
 
@MezeTeam : i know you wrote that an original meze cable will be offered in april/may but thats really a loooooong time
could you please keep us updated on this topic (i know i can order connectors but i am not into a sellfmade cable).
 
@all: is there really no aftermarket balanced cable that fits my meze headphones and has a 2,5mm trrs plug for my ibasso dx200?

@JacuzziJoe will do, command! 
 
We'll keep you guys updated regarding the cables. So far, the connectors have been sent out to be fitted on the cables.
 
As soon as we get more information, we'll let you guys know!

Much obliged!
 
Yes, we do recommend burn in time, at least 48 hours of pink noise. You don't have to do it in one run, listening to music also helps. But pink noise does the trick faster for the 99 Classics. 
 
The 99 Neo should receive a similar treatment.

Sorry for being a noob but what do you mean by 'pink noise'? Im thinking white noise but in colour - not surehow that makes any sense, about anything...

Look it up on YouTube. I'm sure there are some examples. It's literally just noise, like white noise.

 

[MezeTeam]

Monday we're giving you guys some more info in the 99 Neo. Stay tuned! 
 
No 99 Neo's were harmed in the process.

That is very cool! 

People are already interested in 99N as they'll be even more budget friendly than 99C, and with the added advantage of an awesome sound!
