Know before you buy
No, this headrest is specifically engineered as a direct replacement for the Meze Empyrean headphones. It is not designed to fit other models in the Meze lineup.
The headrest features a simple slip-on attachment design. You can easily slide it over the existing headband structure to secure it in place.
The headrest is not washable or water-resistant, so it is best to keep it dry. You can maintain the material by gently wiping it with a soft, dry cloth to remove dust or oils from regular use.
This headrest is designed to match the original specifications of the Empyrean, ensuring the fit remains identical to your headphones' factory state. The high-quality protein leather is chosen to provide the same level of comfort and support as the original component.
Yes, the logo is engraved directly into the material. Because it is a physical engraving rather than a printed graphic, it will not fade or peel over time with normal use.
