Review: These Headphones may not be Analytical, but they're FUN - So the first thing to report is that if you are looking for an analytical sound, either because you yourself mix, or because you are the sort of person that wants to hear the music exactly as it is represented by the people who made it, then these may not be the headphones for you. These are not "flat" headphones, the frequency response is indeed curved. If you want something that gives you an as close to neutral sound as possible, get some Sennheisers or what not and enjoy the music that way. What these are, are very well made, very comfortable, easy to repair, lightweight, and most importantly FUN sounding headphones. These are honestly what I feel like most people who like Beats think Beats sound like. Yes they are bass heavy, but like most review you'll find they don't blow out every other instrument because of it. You can listen to classic rock, jazz, orchestral music, etc. on here and not feel (IMO) like you're missing much. But where it thrives are in the genres that have a lot of THUMP and you're going to feel it. And indeed, because of that, these also are EXCELLENT headphones for gaming. If you have a desktop microphone and are looking for a fun pair of headphones to play games with, the imaging on these and the low range THUMP are both good enough that you can use them somewhat competitively, but also have fun listening to all the carnage around you in most first person shooters especially. For those wondering what I have to compare this too, I actually do have two pair of headphones normally used by folks who want a more flat analytical sound. MDR-7506s, professional Sony mixing headphones that have excellent vocal clarity for the price but are a bit lacking in the fun department because of it (they're just not made for it honestly, but if you are watching a movie or podcast or something they're still real good cans), and ATH-M50x's, the classic Audio Technicas. While a bit bassy for their reference style, they're still not as THUMPy as these Mezes. And out of the three? I know which one I'll be keeping hooked up to my PC the most. the Technicas and the MDRs might go with me on casual walks or to work, but for when I just want to have fun jamming or gaming? These are excellent. Only problem I have with these out the box is if you are going to plug them into a PC, make sure to get their 3m 3.5mm chord. The one that comes with the Neo is a bit short for desktop use, so you'll be tethered pretty close to your PC if you don't.
Review: High quality headphones and great customer service - I'm no audiophile, so I'll keep this short. I bought these twice, once as a gift, and once for myself. The ones I got for myself had a defect in the driver, and after contacting Meze, they sent me a replacement driver very quickly and it was simple as can be to replace it myself (only had to deal with screws, no solder). One of the best aspects of these is that they can be worked on and repaired without having to send them off somewhere to linger in a workshop for months before you get them back. I own a lot of headphones. Are these the best sounding headphones out there? No, but they do sound good and competently deliver audio, with a nice boost to the bass region without eating too much of the mids. That's mainly why I like them, for when I want to listen to something that benefits from some extra bass. I think they compete well in their price range for audio. Not the best, but very far from the worst. Where they are leaps and bounds above everyone else in their price category is the quality and build. They're very comfortable, but get a little too warm after a while (Meze needs to put out some different fabric earpads for these). They look and feel premium, and come with a great case that makes them perfect for travel.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High quality headphones and great customer service
*by D***N on February 2, 2024*

I'm no audiophile, so I'll keep this short. I bought these twice, once as a gift, and once for myself.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent Sound in a Comfortable, Stylish Package
*by M***W on April 17, 2024*

These headphones are very nice. They're what I was looking for. What makes them great for me: 1) Closed-back, so I have good sound isolation. Not noise-canceling (I need to be able to hear a little bit, at least if someone is calling for me) but strong enough isolation to not be disturbed by the chaos. 2) Good audio that doesn't strongly favor a specific type of playback. I use headphones for games, movies, shows, music, etc. 3) Moderate price, as I can't be spending a ridiculous amount of money on headphones, even if I expect them to be durable. 4) Durability, since each piece of the unit is serviceable. Replacing anything is possible should it break. (And the parts themselves look to me to be strong off the bat. I note this because I had an ATH-40 set where the hinge just died—a common point of failure, apparently.) 5) Style, as they just look really nice. A lot of over-the-ear headphones look bulky and ridiculous. These are extremely elegant. 6) Comfort, since they are light and fit very well during extended usage. (I will note that I have central air, so my home doesn't get hot and thus the pad material is generally not a concern for me.) I have a few notes (all related to the cable), not worth docking a star for: 1) I would have liked a cord that was not plastic/rubber above the split. The bottom section of the cable is nice. The top is not as much. (I may end up replacing the cable with something else in time and I doubt I would choose to service that part with an original replacement.) 2) The interface (2 very slim jacks) on the earphones is moderately annoying as it limits the replacement cable options. It looks nice but it's unfortunately not super practical. 3) I can't tell if it's the mic or the connection through an adapter (phone has a usb-c port), but the recording pickup from the inline is poor for me. Not a real problem as using it with my phone is not a typical use-case. Overall I am quite pleased (and I got the set on slight sale, so even moreso) and absolutely recommend this product if your desires are sim ilar to those I outlined above.
