Thanks! I can’t wait to finally get to hear them. The only thing that sucks is that I’ve never heard the regular LCD 4. So I will not be able to offer any comparison between them, unfortunately.
The problem is with the 4 I remember the bass a lot more than I do the mids and treble. The bass was insane not just in quantity but in detail. Can't seem to remember the highs so much though. My fear is that they will ultimately be too mellow for me though.

Mellow is exactly what I’m looking for. As I’ve gotten older, I find myself even more sensitive to brightness, so I need those upper mids and treble peaks subdued a little.
I think natural and accurate treble region response is most preferable. There is a dip in the response curve as graphically depicted, and some say that really bothers them but I can listen very critically to my 4z and cymbals sound shimmery, stringed instruments RIP in and out while vocals are appropriately placed with grace. So for my taste, just cant find issue with treble or the 4k hole etc. Maybe ignorance really is bliss?

And ear anatomy plays a role as well. On measurements in the presence region, everyone’s individual concha gain affects how low or high that dip is actually perceived. I truly believe that is at least one of the main reasons people can have such varied opinions on how a headphone sounds, whether dark, bright, or neutral.
I’m edging towards the 4Z as I prefer it’s more meaty, rounded sound but I would miss the imaging and (comparative) cleanness of the Empyreans with the fabric pad. Wish I could keep both! I do think they do sound more similar than different though.
