Sale price $2,999.00
Tax included.
Redefining Audio Mastery, Meze Audio Presents Empyrean II, a Luxuriously Refined and Innovative Planar Magnetic Open-Back Headphone
- More clarity, more depth, more fun, all inside a lightweight, comfortable, art-inspired frame
- Open-back, Circumaural headphone with Rinaro Isodynamic Hybrid Array Driver®
- Extremely comfortable flagship headphone with anthropometric earcup shape and patent-pending pressure distribution wings
- Visually stunning featuring sleek matte black Aluminum CNC frame and redesigned art deco inspired grill

|
Bloom's Take When Meze released the original Empyrean in 2018, it was a revelation in high-end headphones, specifically due to the Rinaro hybrid isodynamic driver that combined the technicality of planars with the natural feeling of dynamics. Empyrean II retains the warmth and color of the original but aims for a higher degree of accuracy in the tuning, delivering a natural timbre, with a lush, organic sound.
Visually, the basic look, materials and design remain the same albeit with a more conventional black and silver color scheme and an updated grill design. And certainly, that “melt onto your head” comfort is just as good as it’s always been. However, the earpads are new with their ‘Duo’ hybrid providing the best sound overall with its half-leather, half-Alcantara design. “Is the Empyrean II better?” We feel the answer is found somewhere in the nexus of price, performance, and tuning preference. But it’s safe to say that Empyrean II is an improvement by most measurable standards, and boasts a more accurate, versatile sound while maintaining the core Empyrean identity. |
Artistry Meets Craftsmanship
A natural step forward from Meze's first ever planar magnetic headphone, Empyrean II retains all the beloved elements of its iconic predecessor, with an added touch of sculptural elegance. Crafted with precision via CNC milling, the frame features a sleek matte black finish with silver accents, and a redesigned grill that draws inspiration from bold and timeless art deco patterns.
“When we first talked about creating the second generation of Empyrean, I knew it would be far from easy. With many ideas in mind, I reached out to our community, eager to gather their feedback... A lot of determination and many iterations later, we finally nailed it – Empyrean II.”
Meze Audio Designers and Engineers
Meze X Rinaro
Empyrean II emerges as the fruitful collaboration of two passionate companies that set out to explore uncharted territories. Meze Audio's engineering team has masterfully harnessed the power of Rinaro’s Isodynamic Hybrid Array driver to reach a new world of sound.
Sonic Mastery Reimagined
The result of years of R&D, Empyrean II lets you experience more of what you love: more clarity, more depth, more fun. The 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.
Using ingenious tuning methods, new possibilities in terms of resolution and detail retrieval were revealed, achieving a cleaner and more accurate representation of audio. The reliability and resistance of the membrane inside the driver was also improved, ensuring exceptional performance even in challenging acoustic environments.
Isodynamic Hybrid Array Architecture
The Isodynamic Hybrid Array Driver combines individual switchback and spiral shaped voice coils in one driver, allowing sound to be targeted with more accuracy around the natural form of the ear.
Accurate Reproduction
Total harmonic distortion (THD) measures under 0.1% in the whole frequency range.
Lightweight
Reduced driver weight designed to create a headphone that offers prolonged listening sessions.
Ergonomic Shape
Ergonomically shaped driver structure with an increased active area.
Ultra-High Resolution Audio
Upper-frequency limit of audio reproduction is 110,000Hz.
[MZ3] Hybrid Magnet Array
Symmetrically placed on each side of the diaphragm, the neodymium magnets are specifically arranged into a Hybrid Array to create the efficient Isodynamic magnetic field required for a uniform activation across the surface.
Rinaro Isoplanar® Diaphragm
Weighing only 0.16g while having 4650mm2 of active area.
[MZ3] Frame
Fiberglass infused ABS.
Isoplanar® Diaphragm Material
The switchback coil is more efficient at reproducing lower frequencies and is positioned in the upper part of the driver. The spiral coil is more efficient at reproducing middle-high frequencies and is positioned directly over the ear canal enabling more direct sound waves to enter the ear without time delays.
Isomagnetic® Earcup to Earpad Coupling Technology
Rinaro’s Isomagnetic® coupling technology makes switching earpads a breeze. It utilizes the demagnetizing field generated by the driver to secure the earcup in place, while simultaneously redirecting the magnetic field back into the driver, thereby enhancing efficiency.
Your Sound, Your Choice
Elevate your listening experience to new heights – Empyrean II comes with two sets of earpads, allowing the ultimate sound customization. Switch between Duo and Angled earpads for an auditory journey that is entirely your own.
Duo Earpads
Specifically tailored to match Empyrean II, Duo pads are crafted from a blend of premium leather and Alcantara. With leather forming the base half and Alcantara covering the rest, they are a flawless fusion delivering a tonal balance that resonates across all music genres.
Angled Alcantara Earpads
Made of soft foam coated with Alcantara with a fine protective mesh on the grill, the angled earpads excel at rendering intricate details and nuances in your recordings. The angled shape creates more space inside the earpad for an airier sound signature, cleaner bass, and improved presence in the mid-range.
Unbound Comfort
With Empyrean II, your music takes center stage. Following the highest standard for comfort, and with a purpose-built structure that minimizes weight and pressure, this headphone instantly adapts to the shape of your head. This highly acclaimed synergy of ergonomics and premium material guarantees exceptional sound and uninterrupted hours of music without discomfort.

Bloom's Take Antonio Meze has always been passionate about connecting people with music through headphones. To that end, Meze headphones are typically more emotional and musical as opposed to reference or analytical. With full, impactful bass, detailed and layered mids, and emphasizing, energetic treble, the 109 Pro continues the Meze tradition, balancing warmth and engagement with detail and clarity. And with the beautifully crafted wood finish and extremely comfortable velour pads, the 109 Pro does it with comfort and style second to none. To top it off, and in keeping with Meze tradition, the 109 Pro is sensitive enough to work with almost any desktop or portable device out there. We've been waiting years for Meze to release a follow-up to the 99 Classics, and the 109 Pro is easily a top recommendation for a sub-$1000 open back headphone. |
Exploring New Horizons, Starting with the Basics
The diaphragm is the heart of the headphone, producing the waves our brains ultimately perceive as sound. In order to meet the acoustic goals set for the 109 PRO, Meze Audio focused R&D efforts on materials research, looking for the perfect balance between mass and stiffness that would maximize sonic abilities.
The result was the 109 series Dual-composite Diaphragm: a combination of Beryllium-coated polymer, cellulose-carbon fiber composite, and copper-zinc alloy.
Acoustic Design
Through its open-back design, Meze wanted the 109 PRO to be vivid and exciting. With careful tuning by their in-house engineering team, it offers emotionally engaging sound with great detail, clarity, and just the right amount of punch. Its organic character, paired with superior dynamics, excellent imaging, and full-bodied vocals bring details to life. And the 109 Pro is easy to drive from most devices, portable sources or intricate home setups.
The spider-shaped structure and the acoustically transparent grill inside the ear-cup expose the driver from both sides, creating Meze's most open pattern to date and achieving an ideal anatomical fit.
Built for Comfort
Velour cushions surround the ears, providing a luxuriously comfortable fit while maintaining an optimal seal for natural sound. As velour is far softer and more breathable than leather, it also prevents sweat and overheating during lengthy listening sessions. We agree they are super comfy!
The self-adjusting headband spreads the weight out to deliver even pressure for any head shape and size.
Superior Build Equals Superior Experience
The 109 PRO is all about comfort, from the structural design of the headphone to the choice of materials. Once placed on your head, you should forget they are even there, leaving you with nothing but the music.
With this perspective in mind, a combination of walnut wood, zinc, manganese steel, and vegan leather synergize into a comfortable, lightweight, yet highly durable headphone.
Sustainably Harvested Wood
The black walnut wood chosen and used for Meze headphones comes strictly from sources with a certificate of origin, harvested from mature trees that have reached the end of their life cycle. This is a great way to protect the environment while leaving room for new life, and an opportunity for those old trees to shine once again in the shape of a Meze headphone.
Made With Longevity in Mind
The 109 PRO is crafted for sustainability. Meze Audio is sensitive to the fact that our choices today have a great impact in the world of tomorrow, thus they design products that last. It is their belief that a longer product lifespan means a smaller footprint. Following this philosophy, the 109 PRO can be taken apart and serviced endlessly if needed, extending the life of the product beyond expected limits.
