I tried the Duo pads on my Elites when I had the Empy2 on loan. I compared them to at my AA (my favourites) and the original Hybrid. Let's just say I have a new favourite! They pair brilliantly!

Thanks @Mr X! Can you ay a word or two about how Duo pads differ from AA? I am listening to Elite through a tube amp. as I type and struggling to imagine how they could sound any better!
I own both Elite and Utopia 20022 and the latter gets very little head time, even though I do enjoy it when I use it. There is something so appealing about the Elite, just the right balance of technicalities and musicality, and the stage is definitely better than Utopia 2022.
Agree w/angled alcantara pads with caveat that some who've heard the duo pas that ship with Empyrean II rolled ointo Elite feel it adds more saisfying bass with out giving up much if anything else. I may try them when they are sold stand alone as is apparently planned latter this year.

I tend to have the angled pads as default on my Elites as my preference is detail. I do occasionally miss the extra bass that the hybrids bring when listening to certain genre but I don’t like sacrificing that detail.
When I was lucky enough to try the duo pads on them for a couple of days, it was like I had found the absolute sweet spot.
Comfort is a given with Meze but what these gave were the detail of the AA along with that added bass of the hybrid.
According to my dealer Meze will be releasing the pads for sale very soon. I’ll have a new default for my Elite as soon as they do.
Duo and Angled pads covered...I haven't tried the Duo yet and look forward to that but Angled are definitely a must.
I have the ZMF Atrium Closed which are very nice but the Elites see 75-80% of use. I've owned the Elites since they were first released and I still love them. ZMF AC for nearly a year and again, for when I need amazing sub bass they are something else but they're more of a speciality headphone rather than a dependable fantastic allrounder.
Be prepared for very long listening sessions as they are addictive and.... Elites love Tubes, then you'll know what musical is
