Meze Audio Empyrean II Headphones

Really amazing headphones!

There’s a certain house sound with Meze ..that being said…they take a little bit adjustment…I’m still burning them in … The layout of the Renaro driver..means that you can get more or less bass or treble by a small adjustment of the ear cup up or downwards. REMEMBER THIS! As for their sonic performance…absolutely clean without any bass bleed …but there’s an ever so slight recession in the vocals ..if they’re not mixed perfectly ..a great deal better presentation than my AUDEZE in that aspect . Now the performance… Bass is rendered in proper form and tone .. Treble is not overly pushed ..but not rolled off… The midrange ..is the key apart from the aforementioned vocal range ..but adjusting the cups actually gives you a touch of additional control. Soundstage …slightly better than my LCDX..but with the better imaging …depending on the recording. Physical construction…absolutely unique and visually stunning… A nit pic ..I would have preferred a touch more clamping force. Also those of us without a lot of hair..may find that they sit a tad low ..and not allowing for more than a minimal of adjustment … As I said I’m still breaking them in …so we shall see what the future brings .

Amazing!!! I was looking for three years an alternative to the LCD-X by Audeze. I love its sound signature but the weight always compromised the enjoyment of the listening session. I finally made the plunge to step into flagship territory of $3k and above and man I’m extremely satisfied. Not only can it replicate IMO LCD-X sound, but bring with it comfort and larger soundstage. I’m in love!
