Short Update: Meze 99 Classics & 99 Neo
![Der Meze 99 Classics und der Meze 99 Neo bei HiFi im Hinterhof](https://www.hifi-im-hinterhof.de/blog/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/hifi-im-hinterhof-berlin-meze-99-classics-99-neo.jpg)
The Meze 99 Classics have been a part of our iteninary for a while since we took on the sister model, the Meze 99 Neo. One could assume that the latest release is only an alternative color variation - simple black instead of the noble yet lavish walnut wood. The new selection of material has also resulted in a subtle but perceptible change in the fine tuning of the set.
Both models are of course been ready for a test-drive in our headphone studio. However, the photos were not created in the usual studio set-up this time: On the one hand, let's say that the closed Meze headphones are perfect for traveling and the outdoors, secondly, a power failure has ruined our original plan for the photo shoot!

Update: Interior Design in Our Headphone Studio
For a change this time, it's not about new products rather a small design update for our headphone studio. The new beautiful wooden doors of S.L. Loftart not only fit perfectly into the room, but also serve a very practical purpose: to keep the general overview of our stock consistant despite the the constant new additions to our range!
