Watching this video with the Empy IIs on my head. And yes, I should agree I got to like it even better for the last four months. Plus this thing is plugged straight into my M2 Pro since I couldn't bring my bulky dac/amps from home.

Came back to this video just to see what I missed about your feelings on this headphone but it brought up a point for me. I have the original that I got from eBay for a VERY reasonable price, and when it arrived my hype to performance was not so great. To me it sounded like a slightly improved sundara. However my love for that headphone has only grown the more I listen to it. It truly is a work of art and the best headphone I’ve ever heard to this date. Honestly I would probably have an interest in the second version but that cut to the bass makes me less intrigued.

I bought the Meze Elite a couple months ago. I went to a local hifi store and they had most of the highend HPs. Too bad they did not had the Meze Empyrean 2 duo-pads. I did not like the Empyrean 2 with the angled alcantara pads that much. Was missing punsh and to analytical. But they were really good with the elite leather pads like the elite. The elite did also sound great with the none angled, deep alcantara pads they had there. And the store was about to only keep angeled Empyrean 2 in stock, they sold the elite-tester, with the case, leather and the big alcantara pads, and a meze silver cable and 1 year warranty for less than a new Empyrean 2. So I took the elite since for me they were, at least with these earpads, amazing.

I also tested arya oraganic, which was good but I prefered the elite sound and the comfort of the elite is still abit better than the arya and the build quality is a different world.
Also tested many other HPs but no other HP was such a great package like Meze to me. I still really enjoy them and they are also great for gaming.

Do you think the same way on the Diana MR you talked 6 months ago?

[sanhnguyen]

I have both Empy2 and Arya Organic, and the Arya blows these headphones out of the water in term of sound quality.

[efrainsandoval]

Love these, complement my Atriums wonderfully

Voshua Jalour; no longer a detail chaser? 3:39 😇

I'm still enjoying my first Empyrean. Had to replace the cable 2 times due to not storing headphones properly (was laying them flat on the table). No other complaints. People underestimate how comfy Empyreans are

[aceofspades]

Hifiman hek, heddphone 2, and modhouse tungsten double sided would also be on my short list. Also maybe a used caldera

I’m looking forward for your take and review of the new Alba and 105, especially the Alba.

Second review of Emperyan 😂Where is the first review of focal utopia 2022 ? It’s so strange.

[docgiggs]

how the heck do you enter their contest? I see rules and the promotion for it, but nothing actually allowing me to enter. The picture advert says link in bio. Only link I see is to a linktree page. Top of that says "WIN! A Meze Audio Empyrean II headphones worth £2, 749" and if I click that I get to a rules page. *EDIT* NVM. The rules page had an iframe insert that my browser was blocking thinking it was an advertisement.

[Thundrstone]

The Empy II is a little bit on the slow end when it comes to dynamics, making it one of those jazz and vocals oriented headphones. And I can listen only to _that_ much Diana Krall.
This is why I am running the Empy II with the class A Mjolnir 3 . And that amp just kicks the Empy II in the ass and now it simply sounds good with _everything_.
Guess it is my headphone endgame, I really do not need anything high fi-er than that.

[Alex-tcjg]

Any chance of a comparison between the Empyrean II and the Elite (please)?

[mnmktxt]

Thanks for your wonderful update. May I ask if you EQ the headphone and If you do would you be so kind to let us know what you EQ-ed? Or can you explain why you did not EQ? Cheers Fonz

[Gadgetibles]

For the price of $3000 it should sound and feel as premium as you describeds plus more 😁

[Konspiration]

The Hifiman HE 100 se is not just better in detail retrieval, its better in any part of technicality and sometimes by far for now a much lower priece, so its not just a better headphone it is an even bigger quality price ratio and it sounds at least as natural than the Meze empyrian II.

[HKWhang]

What do you think of the SVS Ultra Towers in 2024?

[Mrstcat]

Hey Joshua have you reviewed the focal utopia 2022 ??
