MEDIA REVIEWS

I hear all the instruments, specifically, and where they're located. I had a track come on that was a live recording, and it just picked me up and boom, now you're here!

Z Reviews

Instrument separation is fantastic on this. Clarity for trailing ends of tones is also excellent. It's a very spacious and open-sounding headphone.

Resolve Reviews

This is a seriously well-designed and thoroughly executed product which gives an absolutely top-tier rendition of recorded music. As such, if you're in the market for a dream headphone design, these are well worth auditioning.

Simon Lucas, StereoNET

With the Empyrean II, Meze Audio is walking into a new direction. In this new tuning, neutrality, clarity, speed and spaciousness are keywords.

Lieven Vranken, Headfonia

The comfort, the ergonomics, the build. It's all beyond top notch. Meze has set an extremely high bar for what a fun headphone can be.

I loved the Original, I love these even more

I stopped using an equalizer because the sound profile is so attuned to my preferences. It's got amazing detail, and a broad soundstage. I would agree with the general reviews that say while it may not excel at any one quality more than a similar headphone, it's an jack of awesomeness for every headphone quality.

Loved the looks and the quality. The sound is great. But still after 14 days of listening to many genres the sound does not live up to the $3,000 dollars pricetag, which is still got me thinking whether to return the item or not. Also great custumer service.

Timbre of accoustic instruments is superb, seperation of instruments top notch. Realy breathtaking experience. On top of that Empyrean II are exeptionally comfortable and every part can be replaced if anything happens.
