Which cable you guys decide for your empy 2? Any sound impression between the SPC and Copper?

The vocals still awesome presented. The bass is kicking really nice, beside its not my taste of music. But overall clean representation. If you want to have the bass kicking you out of your socks, let me tell you, the Empy II doesn't, instead it let you grove

Im secretly trying to turn some of y'all onto Juice

How is the sound of the Empy II Duo (hybrid) pads on the Elite? Vs Elite hybrid pads and Angled Alcantara?

I only did a brief demo of both when I pad swapped but @GadgetryTech did some super helpful measurements and posted a link in his impressions on post #412 on the thread.

Looks like the Duo pads have similar bass to the Hybrids on the Elites and more emphasis on the mids and treble but less energy there compared to the Empy 2 with Duo pads.

I saw many reviewers outright dismiss the AA pads as not worth considering but am enjoying them quite a bit lately with the right gear.
They add a great sense of space, airiness and openness to the sound compared to the Duo pads, especially paired with a good ESS implementation, which itself tends to lean airy, detailed and spacious sounding (like the Fiio R9).

Plus they add a bit more punch than the Duo pads but not as much as the full leather pads from the OG Empy, (the full leather pads on the Empy 2 add some much needed presence down low so after initially coming from the Duo pads I assumed I'll settle on them, but on some tracks the amount of bass is just too much, whereas the AA pads add just enough to be enjoyable while not overdoing it).

I came across this Emp II carrying a structure (ridges) on the skeleton. All the pictures seen online show a smooth surface. Has Meze changed the looks ?

 

[Quarzer]

Mine has the same. I only recognized it yet because of your post. Pretty hard to catch it on camera.

 

[Pilotter]

To me it seems easy to take a picture of this structure, so why is it visible nowhere else ? And what is the material used, is it plastic or coated aluminium ? Just curious !

^ the ear cups are cnc machined aluminium. not sure what the black coating is tho.

As far as I know, it is anodised aluminium, so there is no 'coating' as such.

 

[up late]

^ i think that's preferable

So I actually filmed a follow up video to this where I mention the change (still need to edit), but the new Duo pads are amazing and do make a big difference with vocals. Check out the objective change...

Are you still planning to release the follow up video? Would be very interesting to hear your thoughts on the Duo pads with the Elite!

Hey all,

I just got my Empy 2 and am loving the sound so far! One thing that's been weird to me is the headband adjustment sliders. On my Atrium and HEKSE, there are notches on both sides that make adjusting to an even level easy. Usually after taking the Empy 2 off, I notice that I've been wearing one side higher than the other. It's not uncomfortable by any means, just annoying because I'd like things to be even lol... Is this the norm for just the Empy 2, or the Meze line? Y'all got tips for keeping the sliders more secure?

Thanks!

It's normal. Honestly, I've had headphones in the past that may have one side clicked out more then the other. It's whatever is comfortable to your head...just try not to think about it too much

As your resident Scandinavian giant, it’s very easy. It’s always fully extended no matter the headphone, and sometimes not even that’s enough. That said, the Empyrean II is very comfortable even for a person with a big head, if anyone’s wondering.
