If you are looking for a better bass performance from Empys, try the alcantara pads. With alcantara pads, Empys' bass sounds deeper, tighter and the upper lows and lower mids are not elevated that much comparing to leather pads, so you feel the bass is more precise and has more details. The highs are also slightly brighter and feel more energy to it. The strength of the leather pads is the mids, vocal on leather pads sounds so juicy and alive. I don't have much complaint about Empy's bass, with alcantara pads, it sounds pretty neutral to my ear. I hope the pads MEZE is working on will eventually deliver the lows and highs from alcantara pads and the juicy vocal from leather pads. Maybe it would be the leather pads with a bunch of holes on it like the pads of Utopia.Well, i generally like the Utopias and knew that detail retrieval is one of their strengths so did not expect them to be surpassed on that front by other headphones. I was on the lookout for a better bass performance. I already heard the LCD4, LCD3 and LCD2 and while i liked them i found them a little too dull sounding. I then found out about the empyrean and there are a lot of remarks that it handles bass better than the Utopia and has a lively warmer sound. It is definitely warmer and maybe a little bit easier for longer listening, not sure about them being more lively, but sofar in bass they seem a little less performing than Utopia. Anyways i will give them more time and good to know they do fine with Kann Alpha
