hey guys this is Austin and today I'm here with a review of the meze 66 classics headphones with wooden ear cups a very portable on-ear design and a punchy sound let's take a look first of all let's go over the build quality the 66 classics are mostly made out of plastic but they're coated in a soft touch rubber finish and they're fairly flexible so durability doesn't seem to be a major issue the start of the show here are the two real wood ear cups which not only have a great finish but really give these a unique look the padding is fairly soft but as these are on your headphones they aren't going to be as comfortable for all-day use like over ear headphones can be on the flip side you get a pair of cans which are very easy to fold up making them great for travel especially considering how lightweight they are the headband is also adjustable allowing you to resize the headphones to fit snugly on your head the included cable is detachable which is good to see as if there's ever a problem you can just swap the cable out instead of buying an all new pair of headphones it's great to have style but if you don't have the audio quality to back it up it doesn't matter so much does it thanks to the clothes design the base is quite good on the 66 classics however the separation between instruments tends to be a bit muddy the soundstage is all right however they do deliver a punchy focused sound they tend to be a bit on the warm side but it's a very pleasant sound signature that really started to grow on me the more I listened switching over to using a Pheo eat n USB amp makes the headphones come alive the base becomes a lot richer and the warm sound becomes even more distinctive for two hundred twenty dollars the meze 66 classics provides some serious style purely speaking from the sound point of view their unique but not without some issues take them as a whole hell over and you've got yourself a pretty decent pair of very good-looking headphones if you're interested in more feel free to check out my coverage of CES 2013 here and if you enjoy be sure to head out that like button and subscribe anyway I will catch you guys next time steam is kind of touched back here in south hall and their only meeting with partners so we're not allowed in but you guys can definitely see behind me there's a lot of stuff set up so there's some normal looking gaming computers are also some kind of interesting looking console hard to tell exactly what they are
