Much more controlled sound across the board that translates to a refined listening experience compared to the original. The Empyrean II shows us what high-end sonic improvements and technological advancements can do to an already stellar-sounding headphone. In this case, the difference is stark - the Empyrean II leans much towards the tuning of the Flagship Meze Audio Elite - with more detail, clarity, transparency in the mids, but has a much more refined low-end. Control across the frequency spectrum is the theme here. The Elite is still the flagship headphone with a much larger and more mature presentation, but you can't deny when something just sounds good.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/9777\/files\/Meze-Empyrean-II-Headphones-wide-1.jpg?v=1708993858\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eArtistry meets craftsmanship\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA natural step forward from our first ever planar magnetic headphone, Empyrean II retains all the beloved elements of its iconic predecessor, with an added touch of sculptural elegance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCrafted with precision via CNC milling, the frame features a sleek matte black finish with silver accents, and a redesigned grill that draws inspiration from the bold and timeless art deco patterns.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSonic mastery reimagined\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe goal was to enhance the headphones’ ability to reproduce fine details and achieve a more neutral sound signature, all the while preserving the original “easy to listen to” character.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGood things take time, so we spent months trying and testing out different tuning techniques.

In this new tuning, neutrality, clarity, speed and spaciousness are keywords. Gone are characteristics such as warmth, body and lushness. The Empyrean 2 is very different from the original as well as their ELITE headphone. Some will welcome this, others will still prefer the old style original tuning. Or you can just like all 3 of them.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Meze Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40742955810898,"sku":null,"price":5999.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0225\/9777\/files\/Meze-Empyrean-II-Headphones-product.jpg?v=1708995687","url":"https:\/\/soundline.co.nz\/en-int\/products\/meze-audio-empyrean-ii-headphones","provider":"Soundline Audio Online NZ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
