Product Summary
The Meze Empyrean II is a flagship open-back planar headphone designed for customers who want a truly high-end personal listening experience with exceptional comfort, luxurious build quality and a more refined, revealing sound. Developed in partnership with Rinaro Isodynamics, it builds on the success of the original Empyrean with a more neutral, clearer and faster presentation while still keeping the easy musicality that made the first version so appealing.
What makes the Empyrean II especially attractive is the way it combines technical performance with long-term listenability. Its Isodynamic Hybrid Array driver delivers excellent detail retrieval, spaciousness and control, but without tipping into an overly sharp or fatiguing sound. That balance makes it a superb choice for customers who want a serious reference-grade headphone that still feels natural and involving across long listening sessions.
Comfort is another major part of the appeal. The lightweight frame, beautifully engineered suspension headband and carefully developed ear pad system help make the Empyrean II one of the more wearable flagship headphones on the market. For customers who want a statement headphone with premium materials, excellent serviceability and a highly immersive sound, the Empyrean II is one of the standout options in high-end head-fi.
