Hello there!

Yes, unfortunately, the Meze 99 Classics Maple Silver was discontinued for some time now. You can only find them through a few dealers who still stock them. We also have a few in stock shipping from Romania but we recommend you support your local dealer!

Still very disappointed that you didn't bother manufacturing at least one batch of thicker earpads for the Maple silver version and just stopped there.
Finding third party cream color pads is pretty much impossible...
People here would have gladly paid for pad replacement.

I need something with less quantity of bass thats why im searching mew headphones.
Who can make real comparison beetween meze and fostex thx00 ?

I did the job a while ago. Look into the Post #2371

Will the Meze cables work with the Final Audio Sonorous Headphones? They use the same Dual 3.5mm system.

It is normal to hear some slight noises when the band expands, if this is what you mean.

No idea about that, sorry.

The brainwavz HM 5 PU leather pads that i ordered have arrived and they are a good fit for the 99c and i must say without sacrificing the bass or the SQ too much. The bass is slightly lower than the stock large pads.

I come back to you because the answer of Dobrescu don't reassure me that much , sorry ! So i repeat does someone hear sort of crackling sound when expanding the phones to wear it ? Is it normal ? Thanks in advance .

Nice!

Thank you for informing us!

If you can give us more impressions, it would be highly appreciated!

I wonder now if they ship those pads with anything but normal postage. I also wonder if sheepskin is a better choice.

I'm not sure how to put it, but it shouldn't feel like crackling, but more like the two materials are getting rubbed together, the material under the band is elastic and there is a lot of friction and such. If you're hearing the noises more while you're wearing them, that is because the noise travels through the bones and head, not because it is loud. Anything else might be an iregularity, but even if you're out of warranty, Meze ships spare parts and you can repair your 99C!

It is kind of discrete creak sound ! perhaps the phone is brand new and need some time to soften ?

I hear noises too, but wouldn't call them crackling. It's more like the sound of a spring, which I believe comes from the elastic in the headband as Dobrescu also said.

Sound of a spring ? I don't understand !

There is a rubber band inside that breaks in with some usage - on a used 99C it is barely audible, but on a brand-new 99 Neo, it somewhat louder, at least for the first few days.
