Verdict

The Meizu HD60 is a Hi-Res certified over-ear Bluetooth 5.0 headphone featuring 40mm bio-fiber diaphragm drivers, a 20Hz–40kHz frequency response, and 16Ω impedance for high-resolution audio performance. It utilizes a premium build with a cowhide leather headband, stainless steel sliding structure, and protein leather earmuffs, offering up to 25 hours of battery life via USB-C charging and support for the aptX codec. Main pros include its comfortable ergonomic design, stable wireless connection, and intuitive touch gesture controls for volume and playback. However, notable cons include the lack of active noise cancellation (ANC) in the standard model, high touch sensitivity leading to accidental operations, and a lack of water resistance which may lead to metal oxidation over time.
