Meze Audio Empyrean Headphones - Over/On Ear I’m selling my Meze Empyrean (first model). Plenty of reviews online if you don’t know about these. I have all the original boxes so happy to ship. These are excellent headphones, on the forgiving side so if you are not in the “Patricia Barber on repeat” camp and love to listen to metal, punk, etc. Then consider the Empyrean. Two cables are supplied in the sale, the stock cable and the upgrade from Meze (silver plated copper). The stand is not part of the sale. Condition: As New / Mint Payment Method: Paypal F&F, EFT, Cash Region/State
Like-new condition at A$2,700 is essentially bang on the market for this one, sitting right on the A$2,707 median and just below the A$2,576–A$3,698 interquartile band’s upper half, so it reads as fair pricing rather than a steal or an ask-too-high. For a flagship planar magnetic headphone, that’s a sensible number if the unit is genuinely clean and the market set includes similar-condition pairs.
The appeal here is the sound: the Empyrean is widely respected for its lush, spacious, highly musical presentation, with excellent build quality and comfort that make it easy to live with for long sessions. At this price, the upside is getting a premium headphone in near-new condition without paying new-retail money; just make sure the case, cables, and pads are all present, since those accessories matter for value on this model.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Meze Audio traces its roots to 2011, when Romanian industrial designer Antonio Meze founded the company in the northern city of Baia Mare. Born from his passion for music and innovative design, Meze initially launched under the name Meze Headphones before evolving into Meze Audio. This heritage reflects a blend of Eastern European craftsmanship and a drive to elevate personal audio beyond conventional boundaries.
The brand specializes exclusively in headphones and earphones, eschewing amplifiers, speakers, or other hi-fi categories. Iconic models like the Empyrean, developed in collaboration with Ukrainian engineers at Rinaro for advanced planar magnetic drivers, exemplify their focus on planar and dynamic designs. Standouts such as the 99 Classics, 109 Pro, and more accessible options like the 105 AER deliver signature bass authority, spacious soundstaging, and meticulous tuning tailored for discerning listeners.
Meze Audio commands a strong position in the high-end headphone market as a niche boutique leader, prized by audiophiles for striking industrial aesthetics and reference-grade performance. Their products have garnered design awards, rave reviews from major publications, and a global following through word-of-mouth and retail channels, positioning them as a force that challenges premium pricing norms with unwavering quality.
