EMPYREAN II
GATEWAY TO SONIC PARADISE
ARTISTRY MEETS CRAFTSMANSHIP
Following our purposeful design philosophy, Empyrean II emerges as a symphony of artistry, sound innovation and craftsmanship.
IT'S ALL IN THE DETAILS
PATIENCE IS KEY
GOOD THINGS TAKE TIME
We believe that good things take time, so we spent months trying and testing out different tuning techniques, until we finally had it.
Our 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.
MEZE AUDIO X RINARO ISODYNAMICS
A BEAUTIFUL FRIENDSHIP
OVER THIRTY YEARS OF AUDIO INNOVATION
Rinaro Isodynamics was founded in Ukraine during the Cold War to research acoustic technology and has been innovating in planar magnetics for over 30 years. They expanded with new R&D and manufacturing facilities in Ukraine and Poland, which were instrumental in developing Isodynamic Hybrid Array technology used in EMPYREAN, ELITE, LIRIC, and POET headphones.
SONIC MASTERY REIMAGINED
Empyrean II emerges as the fruitful collaboration of two passionate companies that set out to explore uncharted territories. Our engineering team has masterfully harnessed the power of Rinaro’s Isodynamic Hybrid Array Driver to reach a new world of sound. Our efforts revealed new possibilities in terms of resolution and detail retrieval, achieving a cleaner and more accurate representation of sound, when compared to the original Empyrean.
EXPERIENCE MORE OF WHAT YOU LOVE. MORE CLARITY. MORE DEPTH. MORE FUN.

ARCHITECTURE OF THE ISODYNAMIC HYBRID ARRAY DRIVER©
ACCURATE REPRODUCTION
Total harmonic distortion (THD) measures under 0.05% throughout the audible frequency range.
LIGHTWEIGHT
Reduced driver weight designed to create a headphone that offers prolonged listening sessions.
ERGONOMIC SHAPE
Anatomically designed driver structure.
ULTRA-HIGH-RESOLUTION AUDIO
Upper-frequency limit of audio reproduction is 110,000 Hz.
[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 whole diaphragm surface.
[MZ3] RINARO ISOPLANAR® DIAPHRAGM
Weighing only 0.16 g while having 4650 mm2 of active area.
[MZ3] FRAME
Fiberglass-infused ABS.
AN INNOVATIVE DIAPHRAGM MATERIAL
DUAL-SHAPED VOICE COIL ARRAY
The switchback coil of the diaphragm is more efficient at reproducing lower frequencies and is positioned in the upper part of the driver.
The spiral coil of the diaphragm 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 any time delays.
ISOMAGNETIC® EAR CUP TO EAR PAD COUPLING TECHNOLOGY
Rinaro’s Isomagnetic® coupling technology makes switching ear pads 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 ear pads included, allowing the ultimate sound customisation. Switch between our Duo and Angled ear pads for an auditory journey that is entirely your own.
UNBOUND COMFORT
With Empyrean II, your music takes center stage. Following our highest standard for comfort, with a purpose-built structure that minimizes weight and pressure, this headphone instantly adapts to the shape of your head.
This synergy of ergonomics and premium materials guarantees more than just exceptional sound – it allows you to enjoy uninterrupted hours of music with increased comfort.
