Hello everyone! There is some exciting news to share about the Massdrop x Meze 99 Noir closed back headphones. Some of you asked about pad differences between the very first original 99 Classics and today’s stock earpads.  Meze worked to make a new ear pad for everyone purchasing the Massdrop x Meze 99 Noir that emulates the original ear pads with additional damping foam that covers the driver. Everyone who purchases Massdrop x Meze 99 Noir headphones will receive (2) pairs of ear pads in the box.  The default ear pads installed on the headphone will be the usual stock ear pads (exactly the same as the 99 Classics). Additionally, there will be an extra set of new ear pads that are softer and more comfortable than the very first ear pads but include the foam damping of the original. Physical Differences:

Stock 99 (Noir & Classics) Meze Pad: Outer dims: 96.24mm, 85mm, 25mm (H,W,D) Inner dims: 60mm, 50mm (H,W,) Backing Material: Black Mesh New “Original” Meze Pad: Outer dims: 104mm, 85mm, 24mm (H,W,D) Inner dims: 67.5mm, 50mm (H,W,) Backing Material: Black Mesh with foam   Here are comparison graphs of the New “Original” Pads vs. Current Stock Pads:

JaleesaGGreat news since this was the main reason I skipped this drop. The extra pair will be available for the next drop at this same price? When can we expect this drop to go live again?

JaleesaGAny chance owners of the Meze 99 Classics can purchase this new smaller earpad?

JaleesaGSorry, but this is confusing. Do these include the *very first ever* “stock” earpad (ie the one which was used for reviews such as Innerfidelity’s first positive review)? Or are you talking about the subsequent “stock” earpad that seems to have been universally slated?

JaleesaGHi there, aside from just visual confirmation, I also took a caliper to measure dimensions. The earpads with the larger inner and outer diameter are the ones with backing material of "black mesh" only. the earpads with the smaller inner and outer diameter are the ones with backing material of "black mesh with foam". So something is wrong with the way the earpads are listed, can you confirm again which is which?

JaleesaGYou guys picked very confusing names for the pads. What the heck does "new "original"" mean in relation to "stock"? The last one is the pre-installed one I guess? And how do they relate to the names used in the graphs? Last, how do both of these pads compare to the original "original" (or original "stock") pads?
