Headphones are Meze Audio Classic 99’s
I have been an audiophile for most of my adult life and high end audio equipment has been my second passion (photography is my first). In my old age and with diminished hearing I have reluctantly sold off most of the high end separate components I have acquired over the years. I am finding that I am deriving more enjoyment from listening to music with headphones, so as a Christmas gift to myself I purchased these Meze Audio Classic 99 headphones. Headphones have always provided a more intimate listening experience because unlike listening with speakers the room acoustics do not have to be taken into account so I find that with my diminished hearing headphones are perfect for me. Of course the audio components that are feeding the headphones also have to be of a good quality but I think I have that covered with the recently released Marantz Model 50 integrated amplifier and companion Marantz CD50n combination CD player, DAC and music streamer. I am almost getting the same enjoyment from these modestly priced components and $300 headphones as I was with my previous Canadian made high end separate components.
