Meze Empyrean Isodynamic Hybrid Array Open-Back Headphones
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.” - Antonio Meze, Lead Designer, and Founder of Meze Audio
