Meze Empyrean II Flagship Planar Headphones

Artistry & Craftsmanship

Beautiful in both form and texture, Empyrean II is an experience for the senses. A natural step forward from Meze's first ever planar magnetic headphone, Empyrean II retains all the beloved elements of its iconic predecessor, with an added touch of sonic and sculptural elegance. Crafted with precision via CNC milling, Empyrean II’s aluminum frame features a sleek black matte finish and a redesigned grill that draws inspiration from the bold and timeless art deco patterns. In the center of the all-black frame, a silver accent casts a radiant glow.

Meze x Rinaro

Empyrean II emerges as the fruitful collaboration of two passionate companies that set out to explore uncharted territories. Meze's engineering team has masterfully harnessed the power of Rinaro's Isodynamic Hyprid Array Driver to reach a new world of sound.

Sonic Mastery Reimagined

 For the second-generation model, Meze Audio’s specialists have further refined the exceptional Isodynamic Hybrid Array driver design from Rinaro Isodynamics, delivering a step-change performance. The goal was to enhance the headphones’ ability to reproduce fine details and achieve a more neutral sound signature, all the while preserving the original Empyrean's “easy to listen to” character. Using ingenious tuning methods, Meze's team revealed new possibilities in terms of resolution and detail retrieval, achieving a cleaner and more accurate representation of audio.

Unbounded Comfort

With Empyrean II, your music takes center stage. Following Meze's highest standard for comfort, with a purpose-built structure that minimizes weight and pressure, this headphone instantly adapts to the shape of your head. This highly acclaimed synergy of ergonomics and premium materials guarantees more than just exceptional sound - it allows you to enjoy uninterrupted hours of music, without any discomfort.

Your Sound, Your Choice

Empyrean II comes with two sets of earpads, included for the ultimate sound customization, Duo and Angled Alcantara: 

-Crafted from a precise blend of premium leather and Alcantara, the Duo Earpads introduce a contemporary dimension to the signature sound profile of 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.

-Made of soft foam coated with Alcantara, with a fine protective mesh on the grill, 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 presence in the mid-range frequency.

Change Your Sound

Rinaro’s Isomagnetic® coupling technology makes switching earpads a breeze. It utilizes the demagnetizing field generated by the driver to secure the earcup in place, while simultaneously redirecting the magnetic field back into the driver, thereby enhancing efficiency.

Fully Serviceable

Meze believes in creating products that last. Empyrean II is no different: every part of the headphone chassis can be disassembled and serviced with ease, if ever needed.
