Meze Audio is known for its beautifully crafted high-end headphones, and the Romanian brand has just released a sequel to its flagship planar magnetic over-ears: the Empyrean II.
The new headphones continue to use the Isodynamic Hybrid Array driver design from Ukranian company Rinaro Isodynamics, with a claimed step-up in performance from the original Empyrean model. 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," says Meze Audio's managing director Mircea Fanatan. Responsiveness, accuracy and reliability are three areas in which the brand has also endeavoured to make improvements.
