I've been curious about the 99 Classics for a while. Never tried any, but when I was looking up FR graphs, I noticed it has some vague visual similarities with the DT 770 Pro 80ohm (which I have and love). They both have basically the same 4k dip. from 700-4000hz follows a similar shape to the 770, but just much more reduced. The bass shelf also looks like they just sort of boosted and extended it. I'm a bit of a bass head so I reckon the 99 Classics might be a nice replacement for my DT 770s. Does anyone own both to compare?
I don't know about the frequency response graphs but I've compared both (I own the dt770 and returned the Mezes) and imho they are polar opposites. The Beyers are extremely analytical, extremely revealing with imo class leading bass response but they will do anything they can to make a track sound bad. With great recordings, they are fantastic. The Mezes really just aim to please. What you get is gentle treble, nice mids and decent bass. For 300 bucks, they didn't wow me at any time, which is why I returned them, they really don't offer anything over other headphones I own. They do sound nice, it's easy to enjoy music with them.
