At the beginning I was fully into the leather pads. As I listen to more and more jazz and acoustic music the alcantra shows itself as better alrounder for me.

Meze EMPYREAN - the First Isodynamic Hybrid Array Headphone

Please no....Is this where folks are discussing the Elite as well?? I can’t find a separate topic to read about different DAC/amp pairings!

I'm now 6 months in with the Empyrean and still as happy as day one! For me Empyrean is one of the stayers. I've got 3 of those now and apparently, I like planar sound since all three of them are planars.
- SASH très
- Meze Empyrean
- DCA/Drop Ether CX
These 3 give me the performance I want and the comfort to wear them all day. All 3 have suspension straps, the Empyrean is the clear winner when it comes to comfort. Ether CX is (well ofc) better in the passive noise isolation department and the très is just special for price vs performance.

Nice.
I've been loving revisiting old rock recordings with the Empyrean. Sounds delicious. Satisfying.

hi there, I'd like to try the empyreans for a few minutes if anyone is in the Bay Area, California. We could meet up and I have the Utopia 2020 and 2022s, if interested to demo and compare. Also using Hugo 2 to drive it all. Thank you!

Might be worth calling the below stores to see if they have a demo model you could try.hi there, I'd like to try the empyreans for a few minutes if anyone is in the Bay Area, California.

Thanks so much for the advice, very kind for you to look it up! Apos doesn't have a physical store there, and Audio Vision doesn't have Meze. I tried them too.Might be worth calling the below stores to see if they have a demo model you could try.

I could buy and if I don't like return, but didn't want to waste the time of a store. I mainly lsiten to Utopia 2020 and 2022, LCD-5 via Hugo 2....so I love details but thought I was missing the warmth, give Meze a chance...

I’m wondering what they’ll have for sale…I honestly don’t expect the Elite being discounted, maybe pads and cables?

99% sure of the 99 classic variants and the Liric.I’m wondering what they’ll have for sale…I honestly don’t expect the Elite being discounted, maybe pads and cables?
I guess also the Empyrean.
Not sure about Elite and 109 Pro.

Would definitely grab one of their upgrade cables for Empyrean if they go on sale.

Not to mention Rai Pentas and Solos. Perhaps a bit from Advar.99% sure of the 99 classic variants and the Liric.

I'm currently selling my pair of Elites with probably 8 hours on them with full warranty at a silly price. DM me
