- MEZE EMPYREAN HEADPHONE VS ZMF VERITE VS RAD 0; THE ELECTRONIC MUSIC HEADPHONE KING?. thesourceav.co...
Hey, friends, in this video, I will discuss the Meze Empyrean Headphones, review their features, build quality, specs, design, overall quality of sound, and how they compare briefly to the ZMF Verité Open LTD and the Rosson Audio RAD-0 with a stock tuning. I test the Meze Empyrean with several amplifiers and DACs to get a feel for the best pairings and quality of sound. Some of the digital-analog converters and headphone amplifiers I used were the AmpsandSound Nautilus, Matrix Element X, Schitt Bifrost 2, Topping A90 Headphone Amp, Topping D90 Digital Analog Converter, Schiit LYR 3, ZMF Pendant to name a few to give my overall conclusions.

You knocked this one out of the park. Thanks for all you do. Even from the videos I love the build/design.
Because so many seem split on these they’re really one I need to try one day but being a big electronic music fan I think they would be up my ally.
Thank you @Snow Rang3r appreciate you man!!

Dude that Skeleton head headphone stand is bad ass!! I saw the LYR 3 in the beginning. I bought 2 of them I like them so much. Great Tube Amp for the $$$
I agreee!!! Thanks @JTB for watching!
@@MarcelloRostagni where can I get that stand? Bruh, your reviews are always on point.
@@AF-rd2vf hey man thank you!!! They are not in production anymore from my understanding :(
“Itsa me, Marcello!” I’ll see myself out now. Great review as usual.
Thanks @Jurumal for your continued support man!!!
Great breakdown bruh, like usual, you didn't let the one voice of so many in the community (no offense to them, in truth), influence your own personal review. I still haven't tried this headphone, but have friends who tell me about it all the time, whom I trust, and they adore the empyrean (i.e., the knock for resolution, sure is best in price, maybe not, but the critiques feels little much tbh, that's not the only thing that matters, when resolution is enough that is), when the empyrean is paired with the right amp and dac. Appreciate what you are doing, legit, keep it up. 👌🏼😎
Thank you @josh t appreciate the support man!!!
Dang my guy this review is a home run!
Thank you brother!!! @Ace of Spades
Good review Marcello. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on the Empyrean. It has me intrigued for sure.
Thanks @Deepy appreciate you! It’s definitely a bass lovers headphone.
Added to my watch later, once more thanks! Great for me to help me decide, greetings from SRAF ;)
Thank you @Dennis Dalhoeven !
Good review/impressions. I had a similar experience. Good headphones imo.
Thanks @Rhodey appreciate you watching and your support!
Hello I really like your reviews I am Jacob from Tel Aviv Israel I also have the meze empyrean headphones and I really like them I use the JOTUNHEIM2 amplifier. Dac Topping D70s and I use an XLR cable. In the future I want to add more headphones like Focal Utopia and zmf
Thanks for watching Jacob! Appreciate your support :)
A great review like usual, very insightful.
I cant resist saying that a red hat with that outfit, and its Mario time.
LOL thanks @Mohamed Sonic appreciate you man!
I love the sound of LCD-2f, so would the Meze be a good step up?
I would definitely give it a listen to see if you enjoy it, especially for the genres I discussed.
@@MarcelloRostagni So far, it seems to be the only one that ticks the boxes I want. Thanks
Electronic Music, the skull theme - JMJarre’s Oxygene anybody?. I wonder how the Meze would perform on a pure analog setup?
As always, great review and images - makes me want to hear that headphone.
Thank you @Twinguin appreciate the support and I love and own that record! It’s fantastic.
Great review bro! Try Buddy Guy 'Miss Ida B' with that nautilus setup. Empy does Blues. :)
Thank you brother!! Appreciate you always @Elnrik
Yoda appears to be waiting patiently for his chance to use the Empyreans. :)
Yes he was! @Sheldon Thomas
Thank you for the great review, Marcello!
Next time I get to audition the Empyrean, I need to listen to more electronic music with this artpiece of a headphone.
Thank you for providing the playlist, which is very much close to my preferences.
Need a cage and handle for my R6 - couldn’t get my eyes away from your C70. So which cage and handle do you have? - is it a SR?
Thank you @Martin Leschinski no cage for the C70 but I do have a cage for my R5 amzn.to/3rFk6SK
@@MarcelloRostagni thank you Buddy! - this fits even better ;) - had a similar in my wishlist for next month. Your Black Mamba is out of stock over here. - I guess it´s the best solution, from what I saw on a few reviews.
Great review! 👍🏻
Thank you @Anglo-Apulian for the support!!
What about the fostex 900 being the electronic king
It could be! It all depends on the preference of the user; it would be fun to do a head to head between them. Thanks for checking out the video @Fiend appreciate you man!
Or he 6 or lcd 4 or stellia
Where can I get those skulls?
Hey @David Elmquist as far as I know they are no longer being made :(
I would go ZMF Verite all day.
I would go with two out of three as there is enough difference to enjoy the Empy plus the Verite! 😄
@@MarcelloRostagni
With the Verite the pads definitely make a difference, with the perforated Suede pads, the tuning becomes more clear and engaging, you will get clarity and a nice punch to the music. Probably the best treble you will.ever hear.
@TheHighTower I love pad rolling with the Verite Open LTD as I do own the headphone with about 5 pairs of different pads. I am a big fan of the Verite Open, one of my favorite headphones currently.
@@MarcelloRostagni why not just use EQ? Pad rolling is a gimmick to get you to buy 70 dollar pads. Zeos said the best pads he tried weren’t even made by ZMF.
@@MarcelloRostagni I am a big fan of Verite Closed but only with tube amp, it need power and timbre of tubes. It really open up and gain that well rounded definition, can imagine that VO also react like that
When you hear the T+A Solitaire P that will change your view.
Would love to hear it! Thanks @dbyonics for watching, and your support!
“Pathos inpol ear” Review please.
Wow that amp looks very interesting @357M thanks for the recommendation!!!
I’m looking forward to your comparison.
Thank you @Crypto Wolf 🐺
One reviewer called the Meze a "thousand dollar sound in a $3000 headphone" funny, hay good video.
No comment on that reviewer but maybe these would have been more up his or her sound signature ally thesourceav.com/products/meze-audio-elite
It is lol it’s overrated they spent all the money on flashy build quality and a carrying case.
You seriously own all three of them ?
Thanks @Nick tan for your comment! I get stuff on loan all the time. Check out the other YT I am producing more regular content on ua-cam.com/users/thesourceavdesigngroup thanks for your support!
@@MarcelloRostagni Hi thanks. Would be awesome if you own all three.
