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.

A great engineering calculator
Color: Black
I am an electrical engineering professor. it is a struggle to find an inexpensive calculator to recommend to students that can handle complex matrices! There are other engineering calculators that I like much more than the 9750 (such as the hp-prime (my favorite) or the Casio fx-cg50) but this is the least expensive of the calculators I consider "engineering capable". I didn't mention the TI 84 because it handles complex math very poorly, and requires "Euler entry" of polar numbers. The TI-Nspire can do it all, but has way too many menu levels to get anything done. The 9750 doesn't support CAS mode, and the graphing capabilities are tedious, slow, and poor resolution, but as an engineering calculator I rate it highly because of the complex math and matrix capabilities. I like the larger "graphing" screen for showing larger matrices (not for graphing).

Great value for money, calculus and linear algebra Calculator
Color: White
Great calculator for Linear Algebra. I’ve been using it for 5 months nearly everyday for hours on end and its battery is still holding up. It comes with a sleeve and made from light plastic that is durable. For a cheap calculator, it pulls its weight in matrices, polynomials, and even graphing. My only gripe with this calculator is the limited vector calculations that make it less than ideal for any sort of physics academics.

Recommended!
Color: Pink
This calculator model was recommended by the school for math classes, and my daughter has been using it for quite some time now. She's very happy with it and finds it reliable and easy to use. She especially loves that it comes in this color - it's a nice "girly" option that stands out from the usual standard designs.

Good quality
Color: Pink
Good quality. The color is very cute, and I used it for pre-algebra, algebra, and advanced maths, and it does have other modes for other grades, so this would work for grades 6-12. It has lots of features that are required for highschool, so it's nice. It also came with another simpler scientific calculator with works with basic maths and elementary levels. It was worth the buy and I'd do it again. I gave the graphing calculator to my oldest in middle school now going to high school and the scientific calculator to my youngest that is in elementary.
