The tension stays, I have these for a few years. The ear cups do wear out though but there's replacement out there. There my go to studio phones. Feck I must check out the jesus lizards. Thanks for the video.
They do look great! I had several of their earbuds which almost instantly broke. I am worried about the quality issue compared to sennheisers at same price point. Are better than sennheiser momentum 4:s?
Oh dang, sorry to hear that. Their support seems to be pretty decent - and these are designed to be replaceable at each point which is cool. I can't really speak to the Momentum 4s, but Sennheiser are obviously great. They are wireless and closed back so a bit different as well.
I have the 99 Noir version of these and the headband has an embossed 'R' on one side to mark the right cup. I don't know if the 99 Classics version has that R marking, but it's easily overlooked if you don't know its there. These are my favorite cans of all time for listening. But they're terrible for mixing and mastering, lol.
The Noirs look sooo nice and I was tempted but the shipping to the UK put me off. Sadly no embossed right marker on the Classics! Think massdrop added that.
I really think you should try the Meze 109 Pro. (P.S. Please use the NTH-100M more, i am interested to see how much it lats until you need to replace the locking mechanism, that is the only thing that is stopping me from buying them, and i really hope Rode can offer a metallic inlay, or full metal part that does not brake, and have it as a replacement when your brake, and as standard when you buy new pairs.)
they should add a little golden dot mark somewhere on the updated box, so when you buy them, you know that you got the metalic lock one or the plastic one.
I'd love to try them! They are a tad out of my price range at the moment though. Feel free to tell Meze to send me a pair!! I am using the NTH-100 regularly, and haven't experienced any hassles with the locking mechanism yet, though tbf I don't lock and unlock it a whole lot. They also offer a long/lifetime warranty, which is reassuring. I'm curious to see if they change out that part in future though.
Frequency response graphs are completely useless. I understand them totally, and just because they're capable of delivering at 20 hz, doesn't mean they'll deliver well. Every headphone company boasts their frequency response, but it means nothing
I bought the 99 classic a week ago, and since then I've been trying to get used to its sound, but it's not going very well! To me, it's terribly dry, it pushes the mid-high hags almost into my face! What's worse is that it cannot be removed even with EQ, it sounds like a "wooden cup"! This really irritates me! I regret buying these headphones!

Nice!! I've been debating them for a while as well. Was time to take the plunge.

This person speaks sense!!
Pronounced Mooze!!!
Nah kidding, good cans, wooden earcups give a nice timbre.
Just the right level of swank for me
