Know before you buy
No, these ear pads are specifically engineered for the Meze Audio Empyrean model. They are not intended for use with other headphones.
The real leather construction provides a slightly different acoustic seal compared to hybrid or synthetic options, typically resulting in a more focused sound with enhanced bass response and isolation.
Not at all. The Empyrean ear pads use a magnetic mounting system, making them very easy to remove and snap back into place without the need for tools or adhesives.
To maintain the leather, gently wipe the pads with a soft, dry cloth after use to remove oils or sweat. Avoid using harsh chemicals or leather conditioners, as these can alter the material's texture and acoustic properties.
These are sold as a complete pair, including both the left and right ear pads.
