Watching this video with the Empy IIs on my head. And yes, I should agree I got to like it even better for the last four months. Plus this thing is plugged straight into my M2 Pro since I couldn't bring my bulky dac/amps from home.

Love these, complement my Atriums wonderfully

I tried MR at Amsterdam and it wasn't good at all. Empy II, The Composer and E3 was perfect. Even 1K ZMF Atticus was better than MR.

Which has more technicalities MR or LCD 4?

@xyzzyx6241

@@anatol1204 There is no general answer to that because the focus is different for both. The LCD4 has an omnipresent bass whose energy is always noticeable. The sound is very energetic and just fun. The MR has the best midrange in a headphone I've ever heard, no comparison to an HD600. You get a lot of information and for me it has exactly the right position in the sound image. Echoes and reverb effects are given a very three dimensional woeder. The sound is generally very three-dimensional and open. However, information is reproduced in a natural way. The sound is neither sharp nor intrusive. For me personally, after all the headphones and in-ears I've heard, the MR is the best.

I bought the Meze Elite a couple months ago. I went to a local hifi store and they had most of the highend HPs. Too bad they did not had the Meze Empyrean 2 duo-pads. I did not like the Empyrean 2 with the angled alcantara pads that much. Was missing punsh and to analytical. But they were really good with the elite leather pads like the elite. The elite did also sound great with the none angled, deep alcantara pads they had there. And the store was about to only keep angeled Empyrean 2 in stock, they sold the elite-tester, with the case, leather and the big alcantara pads, and a meze silver cable and 1 year warranty for less than a new Empyrean 2. So I took the elite since for me they were, at least with these earpads, amazing. I also tested arya oraganic, which was good but I prefered the elite sound and the comfort of the elite is still abit better than the arya and the build quality is a different world. Also tested many other HPs but no other HP was such a great package like Meze to me. I still really enjoy them and they are also great for gaming.

Bad decision. Elite 2 is coming … the good news is that you did not bought SUSVARA because of release SUSVARA 2 recently.

I have Elites, and I can recommend those for atmospheric games, but not for FPS where directional cues are important. For those I use Stealth.

I'm still enjoying my first Empyrean. Had to replace the cable 2 times due to not storing headphones properly (was laying them flat on the table). No other complaints. People underestimate how comfy Empyreans are

Any chance of a comparison between the Empyrean II and the Elite (please)?

Please do review the d7000 as well

Are the earcups as big on the empy 2's as the Arya Organic? I love the Organic sound but don't like how the earcups hit the jawline and move around. Also can you compare the empy 2 to the Elite sound?

Will you review something like the Woo Audio WA234 or WA33 Elite Edition?

I’m looking forward for your take and review of the new Alba and 105, especially the Alba.

Utopia 2022 much better headphone imo tried both on a dcs stack and the utopia 2022 is by far my fav headphone of anything I’ve tried. It was just so good at playing everything

Hey Joshua have you reviewed the focal utopia 2022 ??

how the heck do you enter their contest? I see rules and the promotion for it, but nothing actually allowing me to enter. The picture advert says link in bio. Only link I see is to a linktree page. Top of that says "WIN! A Meze Audio Empyrean II headphones worth £2,749" and if I click that I get to a rules page. *EDIT* NVM. The rules page had an insert that my browser was blocking thinking it was an advertisement.

The Empy II is a little bit on the slow end when it comes to dynamics, making it one of those jazz and vocals oriented headphones. And I can listen only to _that_ much Diana Krall. This is why I am running the Empy II with the class A Mjolnir 3 . And that amp just kicks the Empy II in the ass and now it simply sounds good with _everything_. Guess it is my headphone endgame, I really do not need anything high fi-er than that.

Can you run this off a “M” series MacBook Pro?

For the price of $3000 it should sound and feel as premium as you describeds plus more 😁

What do you think of the SVS Ultra Towers in 2024?

I have both Empy2 and Arya Organic, and the Arya blows these headphones out of the water in term of sound quality.

Not first!

The Hifiman HE 100 se is not just better in detail retrieval, its better in any part of technicality and sometimes by far for now a much lower priece, so its not just a better headphone it is an even bigger quality price ratio and it sounds at least as natural than the Meze empyrian II.

what ratio are your videos?

Tungsten when?

First!

At this price this better be made by hand and driver matched 200 times.

the only issue I have with these headphones is they are bulky (wide on the head).

I own the Empyrean 2 for about 5 weeks now and I have to admit in the beginning I didn't like them at all. There was a lack of sub base and I missed the detail in the upper mids and lower highs. After 50-60 hours of listening they opened up on me. They really need a good time of burn-in. With a good amplification they really shine. I mostly use the Empy 2 with the HiBy RS8 DAP together with the Cayin C9 amplifier, both portable devices but this combination make these headphones sing.

dems some sexyass headphones I tell you h-wut
