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.
