Something tells me this will be the best seller for Meze Audio.

Was just thinking about the void they are filling in their product range. I really want my next purchase to be a meze.
Purely because $800 is lot more accessible to a good portion of the audiophile community. I'm sure Meze is expecting it to be a 'cash cow' product.
I don't think the 109 will surpass the 99 in sales but maybe in net profit.
Is it 3.5 mm connections on the cups? I have a balanced cable from AudiophileNinja that I used for my returned Sundara that I intended to use with these.
BTW, 700€ are the introduction price, they will probably fall in price over time like most of all headphones, I wouldn't be surprised if they cost around 500€ at the same time next year.

Yeah, dual 3.5mm mono. I used an aftermarket hifiman cable with my Liric before buying the new Meze copper one.

It seems some of the reviewers I used to watch don't post anymore, and I've tried watching these two, and not my cup of tea; I mean, no offense, but I miss Tyll. He gave the best reviews. With that said, any other reviewers on YouTube that anyone can recommend others I quoted, and please not that Z guy.

So tempted to pull the trigger on these. It’d be my first Meze headphones. I currently have the Focal Clear and Hifiman Sundara.

Don't count on a price drop.
Meze's 99 Classics have been $310 since their debut about five or six years ago. Plus, Antonio Meze said in an interview this spring at the Munich High-End Show with DMS from Headphones.com that he likes to keep the price of his cans constant.
That strategy can either penalize the consumer, most of whom are used to price drops over time, or Meze. Antonio admitted that the price of materials for the 99 Classics has increased since 2016, and there is much less margin on the sale of each unit than there was in 2016. Guess it all balances out?

Yep, Tyll is sorely missed. Any reason you don't like Resolve or DMS? I think they're excellent. Different strokes, I guess.
Other YouTube reviewers I like:
-- The Honest Audiophile
-- Joshua Valour
-- MrAyrit
-- SineCraft Audio
-- Wave Theory
-- Gavin's Gadgets
-- Super*Review (mainly IEMs)
Totally agree. Have seen the video of the two and for my taste it is going in a wrong direction. There were my favorite reviewer, but with the headphoneshow I have the feeling that they aren't independent as before. I think resolves ranking list is really helpful and honest. In general they are honest, but they must represent the insterests of headphones.com and stay honest. Not easy.
I watched yesterday the Focal Clear OG review of Tyll. It was one of my first serious audiophile headphone review. I bought this year the Focal Clear OG and have to agree to his review. I remember that Tyll made a video of his review routine. That was quiet impressive. He listened always to the same songs to be objective as possible, not like Z.

I can recommend The Honest Audiophile. https://www.youtube.com/c/DavidSylviaDBSTechTalk
Just picked them up in NYC at Audio46. I have the Empyreans and what stands out the most is the Treble. Far more in your face.
I just love them. Comfort wise its just next level
