Meze Audio Empyrean Headphones

This is a fantastic planar magnetic open-back pair of headphones. I'm the original owner. It has a low usage of 350-450 hours and the 9/10 rating is conservative as it's in mint condition. Multi-award winning accolades set my expectations and they delivered on my high-end headphone system. The Empyrean has exceptional performance, comfort, and design. The earpads are very clean with no visible signs of wear. Everything that came with the headphones is included. Both the leather and alcantara ear pads are included, along with the 1/4" (6.3mm) Meze headphone cable. The metal case has a small ding on the corner (pictured) due to shipping. 50/50 split the 3.25% escrow fee.
