Meze Audio is introducing Empyrean II – innovative open-back, planar magnetic headphones that mark the brand’s continuous pursuit of audio perfection. Building on the acclaim of the original Empyrean - already one of the most technologically advanced designs – this new generation emerges as a symphony of artistry, innovation and craftsmanship. (MSRP: $2,999) The Empyrean II will make its debut at CanJam Dallas this weekend.
More clarity, more depth, more fun
The main goals for this headphone were to enhance its ability to reproduce fine details and achieve a more neutral sound signature, all the while preserving the original “easy to listen to” character. Using ingenious acoustic tuning techniques paired with the outstanding performance of Rinaro’s Isodynamic Hybrid Array driver, Meze engineers have revealed new possibilities in terms of detail retrieval, resolution and accuracy.
The reliability and resistance of the membrane inside the driver was also improved, ensuring exceptional performance even in challenging acoustic situations.
New Duo earpads allow the ultimate sound customization
Empyrean II comes with two sets of earpads included, each designed for a different experience.
- The most advanced earpads in the Empyrean series to date, the all-new Duo earpads are tailored to Empyrean II. With leather forming the base half and Alcantara covering the rest, these earpads deliver a harmonious tonal balance that resonates across all music genres.
- For the classic audiophiles, the Angled earpads excel at rendering intricate details and nuances in your recordings. The angled shape creates more space inside the earpad, which translates to an airier sound signature, with cleaner bass and improved midrange presence.
In a true Meze fashion, artistry meets impeccable comfort
Empyrean II retains all the beloved elements of its iconic predecessor, with an added touch of sculptural elegance. Crafted with precision via CNC milling, the frame features a sleek matte black finish with silver accents, and a redesigned grill that draws inspiration from the bold and timeless art deco patterns.
