In that case, did you ever try the Liric?

Thanks for the explanation

No never, I don't like the feeling of closebacks.

No never, I don't live the feeling of closebacks.

In that case Empyrean II seems to be a great choice.

Otherwise The Liric is also a super comfortable fun headphone

In one category the Empy II beats any other headphone I heard: Presentation of vocals! This makes me speechless.
The volume, depth, timbre, position, location and how its embedded into the other soundings/instruments is top notch! I'm not talking about vocal-details, its more about how vocals are harmonized with the whole ensemble.

^ which headphones are those?

 

[Quarzer]

I didn't mentioned before? DCA Expanse, Final D8000 Pro, HE1000 Stealth, ZMF VO

Interesting take. Have you heard the OG empyrean? I wonder, given the physical similarity with the new empy (same construction, same diaphragm, etc) if the OG could actually be EQ’d to sound very close to the II.

Never had the chance yet. But the divers of the Empy II are Elite ones, right?

Had the Elite the last 6 months, which can go.

No they are not, Empyrean and Elite have different drivers

I remember reading it’s still the same as the OG.

 

[TheAbyss2022]

Is the technical ability of the new Empyrean 2 better than the Elite?

 

[betula]

Nope. Elite drivers use thinner diaphragms.

 

[ThanatosVI]

No it's not

 

[Quarzer]

But doesnt matter. It should subjectivly sound better for you than the Elite. Then the Empy II is better for you, if not keep the Elite. That easy
