The 99 Neo is a notably comfortable, easy-to-drive closed-back headphone, but £159 is clearly ambitious here: recent comparable listings put the median at £108, with the 75th percentile at £124. Even in good condition, this sits well above the established used market, so it is not a compelling buy unless the listing includes unusually complete accessories or some meaningful provenance.
What makes the Neo worthwhile is its warm, bass-friendly tuning, spacious presentation for a closed-back design, lightweight self-adjusting headband, and detachable cable. At 26 ohms, it works happily from phones, laptops, and modest amplifiers, while Meze’s serviceable construction is a genuine long-term positive. At this price, though, patience is sensible: similar examples around £100–£125 would represent much better value, leaving room for replacement pads or accessories if needed.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Meze Audio traces its roots to 2011, when Romanian industrial designer Antonio Meze founded the company in the northern city of Baia Mare. Born from his passion for music and innovative design, Meze initially launched under the name Meze Headphones before evolving into Meze Audio. This heritage reflects a blend of Eastern European craftsmanship and a drive to elevate personal audio beyond conventional boundaries.
The brand specializes exclusively in headphones and earphones, eschewing amplifiers, speakers, or other hi-fi categories. Iconic models like the Empyrean, developed in collaboration with Ukrainian engineers at Rinaro for advanced planar magnetic drivers, exemplify their focus on planar and dynamic designs. Standouts such as the 99 Classics, 109 Pro, and more accessible options like the 105 AER deliver signature bass authority, spacious soundstaging, and meticulous tuning tailored for discerning listeners.
Meze Audio commands a strong position in the high-end headphone market as a niche boutique leader, prized by audiophiles for striking industrial aesthetics and reference-grade performance. Their products have garnered design awards, rave reviews from major publications, and a global following through word-of-mouth and retail channels, positioning them as a force that challenges premium pricing norms with unwavering quality.
