2ND GEN 99 CLASSICS

UNIQUE BY NATURE

A CLASSIC FIT FOR TODAY

Since their release in 2015, the 99 Classics have undeniably left a big impact on the headphone cultural landscape. In this sense, they have become iconic, a symbol.

We initially created them out of a desire to infuse life and passion into what is commonly perceived as technical objects. We view headphones as vessels that contain our love for artistic expression and celebrate individuality.

Ten years later, that vision continues to drive us. As a celebration, the 2nd Generation 99 Classics come with a number of meaningful enhancements, all while preserving the spirit of the original.

SAME ICONIC SILHOUETTE

Everything that made the original headphone an instant classic is still present – the magnetic and inviting sound, the seamless comfort, the use of premium materials, the timeless design aesthetic – it’s all here. However, upon closer inspection and audition, the enhancements become more apparent.

01 TUNING DIRECTION

The 2nd Gen 99 Classics moves the signature closer to a balanced, neutral target. Bass remains engaging yet slightly more restrained, allowing midrange and treble details to emerge with greater clarity. The result is a more versatile headphone that retains the musical warmth of the original while offering improved overall balance and detail retrieval.

02 DRIVER MATCHING

A refined matching process, using a mixed cosine function combined with level-adjustment algorithms, reduces inter-driver variance in the mid and high frequencies. The result is improved stereo image stability and a more consistent listening experience across pairs.

03 INCREASED EAR CUP VOLUME

The internal cup volume has been increased. A larger volume shifts cavity resonances downward and reduces standing-wave interactions, enhancing control in the low-frequency region and aligning with the new tuning goals.

04 ACOUSTIC SEALING AND BASS PORT

The 2nd Gen introduces precision sealing at all key junctions. This improved sealing enables the use of a dedicated bass vent integrated into the jack shell, providing better control over lower frequencies, improved left–right consistency, and higher unit-to-unit reproducibility.

05 BAFFLE ARCHITECTURE

The baffle has been re-engineered with acoustic transparency in mind. A more open grille and streamlined structural beams reduce diffraction and acoustic impedance in front of the driver, minimizing high-frequency artifacts.

06 EAR PAD REDESIGN

The ear pads have been reshaped to adjust and increase the front cavity volume, refining the midrange balance toward the intended target. The attachment system has evolved from a stretch-skirt to a clip-on mechanism, ensuring fixed orientation, reducing variability, and simplifying replacement.

07 SOUND TECHNICALITIES

The rebalanced tuning, enhanced acoustic consistency, and optimized internal geometry work together to improve stereo imaging and instrument separation, providing a more open and spacious soundstage.

08 INPUT SOCKET

The input socket has been enlarged to 7 millimeters in diameter. This ensures compatibility with both slim-profile and larger-bodied 3.5 mm shells, welcoming a wider range of cables, including our premium hand-braided copper and silver ones.

09 HIGH-QUALITY CABLE

The stock cable now uses a dual-twisted, Kevlar-sheathed OFC conductor. This maintains excellent electrical performance while improving tangle resistance, mechanical durability, and flexibility.

10 MODERN PORTABILITY

Reflecting today’s usage patterns, a compact USB-C DAC/AMP is now included to ensure optimal performance with modern devices that lack dedicated headphone outputs.

ONE OF A KIND

When it comes to wood patterns, there are never two alike. Age, color, texture, and grain come into play to create a pair of headphones as unique as you. The process of crafting a single pair of ear cups takes up to 8 hours, while sanding, lacquering, and finishing extend over 45 days. Slowly air-dried to preserve its rich tones, the wood is then carefully inspected, ensuring that no imperfections pass through.

FEATURES & CRAFTSMANSHIP

WALNUT WOOD EAR CUPS

Treasured for its rich, dark color and beautiful grain, walnut wood is strong and durable, yet lightweight. The cups are CNC-machined, then hand-finished, stained, and polished.

SELF-ADJUSTABLE HEADBAND

The vertically self-adjusting vegan leather headband, in combination with a spring steel band with a large active area, delivers a level of comfort that has been praised throughout the headphones industry.

TWO TONALITIES

For those seeking a sound closer to the original 99 Classics, the 2nd Gen comes with a set of acoustic absorbers, allowing you to shift the balance towards a warmer signature.

CAST ZINC HARDWARE

The frame’s metal hardware is crafted
from cast zinc alloy, then electroplated to a delicate matte gold tone.

SUSTAINABLE BY DESIGN

We consider the possible failure points of our headphones from the earliest stages of product development. If we want to slow down replacement cycles and create something to be enjoyed for years, we have to find solutions for anything that could go wrong before it even happens.

And in addition to aiming for a failure proof construction, we designed the 2nd Gen 99 Classics as fully serviceable. Ear cups, headband, cables, or driver, all pieces are replaceable.

Fun toy for fetch
Size: Medium, Number of Items: 1
Daisy loves this toy. I found it from her dog trainer, and it makes rewarding her with a quick tug of war and fetch really easy. Also it’s shockingly durable. It looks like foam, but she has not destroyed this one.

Definitely recommend, great product!
Color: Grey
Absolutely amazing and great quality. My two chihuahuas have been digging and ripping up potty pads since they were babies. They are now 1 year and 3 months old and still do that. I tried reusable potty pads for a while and washing them, but eventually the smell and amount of time wasn’t worth it anymore. And I was looking for something else. I found these and ordered 3 of these potty trays and they are incredible. They can’t chew the disposable potty pads and they do great with this. I highly recommend! It took about 3 days for them to adjust to the feeling of the material but now they are comfortable. I wipe the top daily and change the disposable potty pads. Then once a week I clean with vinegar and water and towels or just soap and I sometimes spray down with hose outside. It makes it much faster and easier. It still takes work to keep it clean but it’s much better than cleaning up ripped up potty pads every day. It’s a great value also for the price and definitely I can tell is going to last a long time. For reference my dogs are 10 pounds, they are overweight right now and loosing weight, but this completely holds them and is very sturdy, even when both are on it at the same time. They use as their main bathroom area as it is not safe for them to go outside alone because there are coyotes in the area. And when I’m at work they have access to a potty area all day. I definitely recommend for dogs this size and am so happy I found a product that works for my home. Also the grey color is great and matches well in my home.

Absolute LIFESAVER.
Color: Black
A must-buy for any puppy owner that uses potty pads. Our pup still hasn't had all of her parvo boosters and has had to stay inside at all times. She is usually very good about going on her potty pads, but has a terrible habit of grabbing the pad and flinging waste everywhere and tearing the pad itself apart. This potty pad holder is PERFECT. It is sturdy and the grated tray fits in neatly. The dog is unable to get to the puppy pad, no matter how hard she bites or paws at the sides. Believe me, I've seen her try. We bought other puppy pad holders that were cheaper, but she was able to rip the puppy pad out of them easily. It is also really easy to clean. The plastic can easily be washed with soap and water or sprayed and wiped with antibacterial spray. The potty pad itself usually soaks up all of the urine, so there is never any worry of overflow. The only critique I have is that the rectangular shape is somewhat a poor design, because most potty pads are square-shaped. This means that the owner has to fold a standard potty pad in order to fit the tray. But this is not a huge problem, as we're still very happy with the product. Overall, it's worth the money, because now I don't have to worry about cleaning a huge mess, disciplining my pup for the behavior, or any health scares from her eating plastic from the potty pads. We loved the first one so much, that we bought a second one.

Perfect for what we need!
Color: Black
Love this. We have to leave our puppy home alone while we are at work. She’s tiny so I know she can’t hold it in the entire time we’re gone and I knew she would tear up the puppy pads. I came across this and it has been a game changer. She goes right on and does her business. One negative is when she only puts her front paws on and pees while half on the floor but that’s a quirk of the dog. The main negative is that if she poops, it’s sometimes hard to get it up and it gets in the holes. Plus is it’s easy to take apart and hose off. Definitely recommend!
