Commercial Meze Audio Empyrean Headphones - Over/On Ear The MEZE Empyrean headphones are a perfect balance of comfort, great sound with a wide frequency range - we love them! This ex-display set are in excellent condition and come with full Australian Warranty. Normally $5500 rrp. The Empyrean Driver combines individual switchback and spiral-shaped voice coils, their unique shapes allowing sound to be targeted with more accuracy around the natural form of the ear. This unique combination generates an increased exposure of direct sound wave frequencies over the 10kHz range and improves imagin
At A$3,990, this used Meze Audio Empyrean sits well above the typical AUD used market, where the median is A$2,667 and the 75th percentile caps at A$3,333, making this asking price ambitious rather than fair. While the original retail was roughly A$4,500–A$5,500, the listing exceeds the top end of recent comparable used asking prices by nearly A$650, so it’s not a bargain.
The Empyrean remains a standout for its Rinaro Isoplanar drivers, delivering exceptional clarity, speed, and a wide frequency range from 8Hz to 110kHz that rivals top-tier planars. If this unit is in genuine excellent condition, includes the original cable and case, and comes from an original owner, the premium might be justified by rarity and care—but only if you’re confident in the seller’s integrity and the headphone’s history.

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.
