This is a brief summary of my
Meze Angled Alcantara pads review.
These earpads are designed to enhance the acoustic personality of the
Elite and Empyrean headphones, revealing new and exciting sound nuances.
The angled shape creates more space inside the ear pad, which translates to an airier sound signature, with cleaner bass and improved presence in the mid-range frequency.
Made of soft foam coated with Alcantara, with a fine protective mesh on the grill, the angled earpads also provide increased wearing comfort for most ear shapes.
It is always nice to have options and when it comes to the Elite and the Empyrean we now have three for fine tuning them.
The new angled Alcantara ear pads are a welcomed addition to the family, they are not only the most comfortable but they also add another very interesting variation to the sound signature of the headphones.
They bring the most neutral bass response with the best technicalities of the bunch, pushing fidelity and transparency to their boundaries, while they make for an incredibly expanded and holographic soundstage.
The angled pads are strongly recommended for all those who seek the most reference sound of the Elite but also to all others who just like to have options and be versatile when it comes to sound tuning depending on their mood and the music.
