Link to my review and measurement index thread where one can also find a full review overview, more information about myself as well as my general-ish audio and review manifesto: This is probably my fourth most favorite headphone so far followed by Final D8000,Susvara and HD650.ĥ star for me, 3 or 2 stars probably if you are in the different club The sound overall ticks all the boxes for me at this price point. Big no for treble heads, big huge yes for those who crave chill fatigue free listening sessions. Treble extension and detail is good but loses some air in the top end resulting in a more mellow, less energetic treble. Best version of this track IMO) are mad mad fun on these thanks to how the cymbals and bass sound. of Fleetwood Mac’s Dreams (Search in YouTube, published by Rhino. Just like the bass, Cymbal hits have the perfect decay in these cans. Will be less organic/natural) then 99 classics are not for you. Thus if you are into energetic upper mids and leaner lower mids (will sound perceptively cleaner but tonality might suffer. I actively look for this type of smoothness in iems and headphones while many find this sort of tuning boring and muffled. Midrange remains fairly neutral and natural (very slight coloration in the lower mids but not as much as the senn HD599, negligible) and the smoothness is the upper mids and presence region can be compared to Sony IER M7/M9. The bass decay & rumble is just perfect and that's the ultimate recipe of fun here. 99 classic is the master of bass under 500 usd. Very slightly V shaped with superb natural timbre. These are kinda the full sized version of final audio e4000 and distant cousins of Sennheiser HD650. They sound good out of the box but if you are coming from highly technical bright sounding headphones these will sound a bit too dark and mellow at first. I'd probably opt for closed back cans if you really want a visceral low end.It will be wrong to pass any verdict without trying them out for at least 3 or 4 days. Sony could also work, but I haven't heard any of their stuff. If you like the treble a bit more tame, they're probably not a good fit. Also, if you like your treble a little hot and spicy, Beyerdynamic might be a good choice. They come with 2 sets of different size pads, and most people prefer the smaller pads. Should you choose these, purchase the 99 Noir from Massdrop. If you listen to a lot of rock and metal, the 99s simply can't be beat. All 3 have wooden cups, which imo makes them sound more organic. Whereas the 99s and tr-x00 have a warmer tonality. The Nightowl has the largest Soundstage (out of your head experience) of the 3, but it's overall tonality is pretty dark. If you want more of an L shaped sound signature (bass is a bit elevated, neither the mids or treble are recessed), I'd opt for the Audioquest Nightowl. If you like more of a V shaped sound signature where the mids are somewhat recessed, and both the bass and treble are elevated, I'd choose the tr-x00. What genres do you listen to? My top choices would be the 99 Classics, where the mids are slightly forward, and the treble is slightly rolled off. If you could describe what you prefer sound wise in all other areas except the bass, it would bring you one step closer to choosing the right headphones.
