The Ultimate Headphone Showdown: Meze Empyrean II vs Elite vs Empyrean

[@iknownothing495]

Had the pleasure of testing an Empyrean today. It blew my mind. So... look forward to testing the Empyrean II and the Elite.

[@alenotta]

As an OG Empyrean guy I really appreciate how you ended this video. I can't wait to go into TSA and hear II, but man I love the OG.

[@TheSourceAVDesignGroup]

I really enjoy the OG Empy too!

[@V4zz33]

Based on what they have done to the Empy 2 I am really looking forward to the Elite 2 or whatever their next flagship is going to be.

[@gibgun]

Wonder what the Elite II will be like!

[@akoskolok]

Spot on man! Great review!

[@TheSourceAVDesignGroup]

Thank you!

[@markaprill6501]

I love the OG model. However, the bass may actually be too much. I may go trade in for model 2.

[@random-internet-dude]

Hey Marcello, when you mention the OG and EDM, do you mean it's your go to HP among all brands or just within the Meze house sound ? Just curious. Thanks for the wholesome comparisons as usual.

[@TheSourceAVDesignGroup]

So far, it's my go-to favorite with all brands of headphones for EDM.

How would these do with movies and gaming?

[@TheSourceAVDesignGroup]

They will be okay for both, but I think they excel with music first and foremost.

@@TheSourceAVDesignGroup what “endgame” headphones would you recommend for music, movies and games. A real do it all.

[@TheSourceAVDesignGroup]

I don't watch movies on headphones very often, and wouldn't spend endgame money on headphones for that purpose. I can tell you that for a reasonable price compared to end game pricing the thesourceav.com/products/bowers-wilkins-px8?variant=42099810893980 was great for movies I actually liked them better for movies than music.

[@coardtech]

Airpods Max are crazy good for movies and games, i’d get it over any expensive headphones.

Mi ricordo quando comprai la mia prima cuffia una sennhaiser hd420sl avevo 15 anni ora ne ho 60 e ancora mi regala emozioni ,😂😂😂❤

[@bunnygal23]

Thanks for the review! Did you pad swap and try the Empy 2 Duo pads on the Elites? Really curious about these new pads

[@TheSourceAVDesignGroup]

I didn't
