A blend of premium materials, exquisite craftsmanship and detailing that’s unmistakably Meze, Empyrean is one of the most technologically innovative planar magnetic headphones in the world.

“Empyrean was born from passion, curiosity and innovation. As a business, we have allowed ourselves the freedom to experiment and take risks in search of the perfect sound. To generate something truly remarkable, one must dare to explore, and that’s what we did with Empyrean. We pushed and refined industry standards and achieved a true game changer for audiophiles.”

Total harmonic distortion (THD) measures under 0.1% in the whole frequency range
•LIGHTWEIGHT
Reduced driver weight designed to create a headphone that offers prolonged listening sessions
•ERGONOMIC SHAPE
Ergonomically shaped driver structure with an increased active area
•ULTRA-HIGH-RESOLUTION AUDIO
Upper-frequency limit of audio reproduction is 110,000 Hz
•ULTRA EFFICIENT
100db@1mw/1kHz High performance without needing amplification
•PATENT PENDING ISODYNAMIC HYBRID ARRAY DRIVER
World's first in planar magnetic headphones

The Empyrean Driver combines individual switchback and spiral-shaped voice coils, their unique shapes allowing sound to be targeted with more accuracy around the natural form of the ear. This unique combination generates an increased exposure of direct sound wave frequencies over the 10kHz range and improves imaging and localization by decreasing the impact of shortwave time delays caused by diffused field reflections.

Suspension wings increase the leather headrest’s contact surface area with your head and relieve uncomfortable pressure points, offering additional comfort, even when used for a longer period of time.
This revolutionary patent pending concept sets a new standard in combining
true natural sound with the enjoyment of wearing
your favorite headphone for hours on end.
