Meze Audio 99 NEO & Boom Mic

The Meze Audio 99 NEO & Boom Mic HEADSET pairs the closed-back 99 NEO headphones with a detachable Boom Mic, turning a solid music headphone into a versatile gaming and work-from-home setup. The 40mm dynamic drivers deliver balanced, natural sound with low distortion, and the 26-ohm impedance means it runs easily off a PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, or PC without needing extra amplification. The omnidirectional condenser microphone captures voice clearly from any angle, and it connects via a standard 3.5mm CTIA jack or the included Y-adapter for separate audio and mic inputs.

Build quality is a notch above typical gaming headsets. Cast zinc alloy hardware, a self-adjusting headband, memory foam ear pads, and a CNC-milled aluminum mic cover give the 99 NEO a premium feel without the plastic creak. At 260 grams, it is light enough for long sessions. Inline controls let you adjust volume and mute the mic on the fly. The wired connection means no lag, no charging, and no Bluetooth dropouts when it matters.

If you want clear comms and good sound for gaming or calls but do not want to look like you are wearing a spaceship, the 99 NEO HEADSET is a practical middle ground. It works across consoles and computers, comes with a hard EVA case and cable pouch, and sounds better than most dedicated gaming headsets at this price.
