Highlights & Benefits

• Refined flagship tuning — the Meze Empyrean II Open-Back Headphones were voiced to reveal more fine detail and a more balanced tonal presentation while keeping the musical ease and richness that define the Empyrean line.
• Rinaro Isodynamic Hybrid Array driver — the ovoid planar magnetic driver uses a specialized dual-voice-coil structure designed to optimize how sound reaches different parts of the ear for better coherence and imaging.
• Exceptionally comfortable design — the ergonomic suspension headband and carefully contoured ear pads are engineered for long listening sessions with less fatigue and better weight distribution.
• High-end materials throughout — premium machining, elegant grille work, and a refined industrial design give the headphone the kind of finish expected in a true statement product.
• Open-back spaciousness — the open design supports a larger, more natural sense of space and air, making it especially compelling for dedicated home listening.
• Modular and serviceable construction — detachable mini-XLR cables and replaceable ear pad options make ownership easier over the long term.

Technology & Design

Hybrid Array planar magnetic architecture — the Rinaro MZ3 driver uses an Isodynamic Hybrid Array approach that positions different voice coil forms within the same driver to help improve both direct detail and broader tonal balance across the ear.

Lightweight but serious driver engineering — with a very low diaphragm mass, large active area, and distortion measured below 0.05%, the driver is engineered for speed, resolution, and a highly controlled presentation.

Luxury comfort as part of the sound experience — the Empyrean platform is known for making flagship listening feel easier over time, not just better in sound quality. The carefully shaped frame, suspension system, and ear pads are all part of that experience.

In a carefully matched system, the Meze Empyrean II Open-Back Headphones deliver a spacious, highly resolved, and emotionally engaging presentation that feels worthy of their flagship status.
