This is a buyer’s market for the category at the moment: at kr 21,999, the asking price sits just under the kr 22,361 median and below the kr 24,766 75th percentile, so it reads as a fair-to-good buy rather than an aggressive one. It is also comfortably above the kr 21,461 25th percentile, so I wouldn’t call it a bargain, but it’s close enough to the middle of the market that the price looks sensible.
What makes it worth considering is the model itself: the Empyrean II is widely regarded as a top-tier planar headphone with a rich, spacious, highly refined presentation and strong build quality, so used buyers are usually paying for the tuning and craftsmanship as much as the name. At this level, the main upside is getting into a premium headphone without the usual new-price hit; if the condition is clean and the pads, cables, and case are present, it’s an easy listen-worthy pick.
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.
