Meze Classics 66 - Satin Finish

Simultaneously a pair of good and terrible headphones. There is no denying the sound quality, which is the reason I have persevered as much as I have, but there are inherent problems with the hardware which I have tried to explain to Meze personally but was assured I was wrong.After 2 sets breaking I am certain (as much because I am a designer for a living as being a customer) that there is a design flaw in the headphone band. The very thin elements on the inside of the band where the elongation occurs for the adjustable headband is wafer thin, and ultimately doesn't need to be this way. It results in a very high stress on a very thin piece of rubberised plastic, which they may have gotten away with if these headphone weren't meant to fold. Lateral load on this thin piece caused it to snap, and then it happened on a replacement set too in the identical place.The removable 3.5mm jacks are a great idea, but the wires they provide are also very unreliable and last a week. I have been through 5 of those with exactly the same life span. I'm using these things on the bus to work and walking around town - not exactly skydiving. The jacks have been good though because it allowed me to remove the cups from all the other equipment and put on new wires, new headband, and keep the cups which, as I say, have good sound quality. Sadly this is not enough when it is the only part of the assembly which hasn't broken yet.

These stopped working just 6 months after receiving them! I have gone back and forth with the company and ended up ordering a new pair of headphones from another company. It's crazy what they want you to do! I don't recommend these.

These are really good headphones, now I don't understand the complaints about them breaking as I have had mine for over a year and there isn't even any crack on them at all, but that is also a common complaint for a lot of headphones. My biggest complaint is largely a superficial one in that the satin feel on the band seems to come off quite easily and can leave a strange feeling residue on your hands.

Very comfortable ear pads, sweet smooth lows, nice highs, all in all great pair of headphones. Detachable cable is plus, comes with two pairs. Great construction beautiful ebony wood!

sound was great but headset was tight on the head - vendor was exceptional in processing the return - high rating for them

Got them as a gift for my son. He loves them.

The headphones snapped when they fell off my desk within a month of purchase. I had to super glue the left side.
