Crucially, these official replacements perfectly maintain the headphone's original sound signature, avoiding the sonic alterations common with third party options.

Know before you buy
These replacement ear pads are specifically designed for the Meze Audio Elite and Empyrean over-ear headphone models.
These pads utilize a friction-fit attachment system, allowing you to easily press them into place on your headphones without the need for additional tools or adhesives.
Each material offers a unique acoustic profile. Leather tends to provide a more direct, punchy sound, while Alcantara and Hybrid options often offer a slightly more open and balanced soundstage.
No, these ear pads are not washable. We recommend using a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe away any dust or debris to maintain their condition.
The Angled Alcantara pads feature a tapered depth profile, which can help adjust the driver's orientation relative to your ears, potentially improving soundstage imaging and comfort for certain head shapes.
These are sold as a complete pair, ensuring you have everything you need to refresh both sides of your headphones at once.
