About one month since I got the Empyrean, I really like them!
A question though, that has bugged me a bit:
I use headphone stands by Room's audio line, which means the earcups are hanging freely. Due to the design, they are tilted slightly upwards. And since the Empyrean doesn't have cloth or foam or something like that covering the driver (just the magnetic mesh type thing) i was thinking: does that mean dust can fall into the driver and collect on it? Is this something I should worry about?

There’s medication for that. LOL

You should probably sell them while you can. (to me).

Fair suggestion. But i could also just keep them on forever

I am actually in my makeshift woodshop trying to design a stand for them. All the ones I have seen to short and I do not like how the wires hit the table surface. Now I will have to make sure the cups have a seal after reading this, just in case

The Sieveking Sound Omega (or something shaped like that) would work...

OH, I wish I could worry about this. Unfortunately my bank account & wife make sure this isn't an issue, so it's one less thing in life to worry about!

A case I originally purchased for my HD820 works well for the Empyrean's - here it is on amazon: https://www.amazon.com/DN8PRO-XL-Audeze-Sennheiser-headphones-GRIP-TECH/dp/B07DBBRPLM/

I would just note you will need to remove the cable (which you should do anyway) for a proper fit.

I know this is pretty delayed but I finally got around to buying one of these cases and I couldn't for the life of me get the Empyreans to fit in it. The tubes that stick out the side for size adjustment protrude too far and it just generally seemed too small. It was definitely the 2XL you purchased?

I use IKEA display box to keep empyrean and WOO stand for rest of the headphones

I have just removed the front glass

Hahaha now that's a cool idea thanks for putting it out there! I wish the woo audio stands were cheaper

 

[k3kz]

I think i will steal the IKEA idea

That's what I am using but my head must be to big for after I adjusted to fix it does not like that stand

 

[kumar402]

this is how I am using it right now. So handtowels from dollar tree and ikea display case for $29. So whole package is $31 and no more stress on headband etc and no worries of dust.

Probably.

When I first got the empyrean, It was as empyrean owners will know, a little nerve racking to adjust because of how tight the sliders are when new.

So it was clamping a bit tight and the first time I removed the pads I noticed condensation on the driver guard, which scared the crap out of me. So I understand your concern.

Empyrean for me was love at first sight (first audition), but we know that can be misleading.

Happened to me with the Clear actually, I loved them at audition, bought them and then couldn't live with them as they were too energetic, borderline aggressive.

The Empyrean keeps growing on me day by day. I just love them more and more. They offer the technicalities of a true TOTL flagship while staying musical, entertaining, alive, fun, engaging and addictive.

Funny the storage issue came up, I was about to ask how you guys store your Empys. I am also a bit worried about dust getting into the cups and drivers.
Putting the headphones back into the case would be a bit of a hassle mostly due to detaching the cable each time.

I was looking into the Stax cover? But it looks a bit silly. I found these which could possibly work. Anyone using something similar? Is it just another silly idea?
I quite like the IKEA box too..

What does @Meze say? How important is dust protection?

Just to let you know Stax cover may be too tight for Empyrean as they are not very wide
