It can't be overstated how much having decent equipment can make a student musician become obsessed with their craft. When I was in high school, I was selected to be the first user of a brand new Bach Strad trumpet the school's music department bought. It was so much better than the beginner trumpet I had been using since middle school, it was insane. Because of that trumpet, I went from liking music to being obsessed with getting better at trumpet to an almost unhealthy degree.

Yep! New pieces of equipment for a student could be what makes them obsess! I played on a plastic Accent clarinet from 5th grade until about 8th grade. I got a scholarship to Interlochen’s summer camp in 2013 and my mom had to get me a better clarinet- a Buffet E11. That place got me into jazz clarinet, and I immediately learned how to do glissando’s, and how to do the rhythm of jazz. I eventually asked my mom to get me a tenor sax so I can join Jazz Band in 2013’s school year (which is now ruined due to my apartment leaking on it and making it moldy), and I learned it so SO fast! I even learned how to play flute because of the GRP Allstate Bigband from the 90’s! Didn’t know jazz flute was a thing. I don’t play much anymore, but God do I want to play my tenor again. Now, I’m getting into music production. My first song was horrible, and the last song I made until my laptop broke (I was going through hell when I BROKE IT) and it was leagues better. I love music because my mom actually listened to my band teachers saying, “He’s actually really good. He learns so fast!”

The 109 I feel is the redemption arc for Meze in the audiophile world. The original meze 55, 73, and 88 gave the company a bad rep since they were rebranded Chinese headphones, marked up an extra $100. The 99 was designed by meze, but made in china, and were often called the beats of audiophile headphones due to their massive, bloated bass shelf (this year they had a silent revision that fixed that) The empyrian and elite, while very beautiful, were moreso designed and made by Rinaro in Ukraine The 109 is the first fully in house, designed and built by Meze headphones, and it's a huge leap from where they started. It's great to see a company change and improve so much in a short time

Since I turned around 16 I suddenly began listening to a lot more music than I used to, from almost nothing to 3-4 hours a day. Over the first proper Covid lockdown here in the U.K. I used some of my left over student loan which I’d saved up and bought myself a pair of Beyerdynamic 1990 Pros. It was the best money I’ve ever spent. They blew me away at the time and I still get surprised by their quality and n a regular basis. That year, with lockdown ruining my experience at university and generally making me miserable, those headphones really fanned the flames for my passion for music and I ended up averaging 8 hours, 30 minutes a day of listening to music on Spotify. Really changed my relationship with music and forged me some really good habits I still have now.

I've been privileged to be able to watch your videos out of pure enjoyment and not need them to get through tough shit, but after my gf of 5 years just broke up with me, I'm really glad to see you've uploaded. You're doing great things.

Thank you for the Knower drop mate. I don't have a pair of Meze's but it was a treat to hear them on my Senn HD 535s. +1 grit for the slick and quick DnB!

I was an idiot and snapped the headband on my T1s. I have no used them since, because there are 0 drop in replacements that don't cost WELL OVER $400!! Repairability? Smooth warm sound? DankPods, you just sold me.

I nabbed a pair of the 99 Neos when you ran that lovely promo with Meze. I would imagine many other people did the same and they are very grateful 😂 My 99 Neos are still going strong and are heaps fun for casual listening, the bass thumps in all the right ways
@deidara07 Жыл бұрын
You should speak to Meze about having them fly you out to talk about their process and their philosophy when it comes to sound quality and the ability to repair their products. I think it would make a really fun video!

As a romanian i've never heard of Meze. I dont much care for audio quality, or headphones in general, but they look good, the repairability factor is awesome, and it seems Wade really likes them and he know his stuff. Good to see a romanian company creating quality products.
