Meze Audio Launches Limited Edition Art Gallery Empyrean Phoenix Headphones
Meze Audio, the Romanian headphone specialist who is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year, has announced a rare collector's item, the first from the Meze Art Gallery collection.
An artistic take on their core headphones, the new Empyrean Phoenix will be limited to just 100 pieces worldwide. Each product will come with a unique serial number.
Antonio Meze, Lead designer and Founder Meze Audio, told StereoNET:
Empyrean Phoenix is an artistic take on Empyrean that carries the same unique audio qualities as the original. We wanted to celebrate the first decade of Meze Audio in a truly remarkable way, one that matches our love for great aesthetics, good craftsmanship and innovative engineering. What we achieved can only be described as a work of contemporary art.
This exclusive pair comes with two sets of earpads - one real leather, one Alcantara. It also comes with an upgrade copper cable of your choice including, PCUHD standard 6.3 mm, PCUHD balanced 4 pin XLR, PCUHD balanced 2.5 mm, PCUHD balanced 4.4 mm.
With a name inspired by the myth of the Phoenix, this fiery red and black Empyrean features CNC sculpted aluminium chassis, finished with irregular patterns that create contrast and play of light and shadow.
Being entirely hand-painted, passion-infused and carefully assembled, each of the Phoenix pairs is truly unique.
Empyrean Phoenix features the same breakthrough technology of its predecessor, encompassed by an artfully re-imagined frame.
The Meze Audio Empyrean Phoenix Art Gallery Edition will sell in Australia for $5,999 RRP. There is a 30-day lead time due to it being hand-crafted and it being a limited edition product. You can order it from Meze Audio dealers now.

applause awards
Each time StereoNET reviews a product, it is considered for an Applause Award. Winning one marks it out as a design of great quality and distinction – a special product in its class, on the grounds of either performance, value for money, or usually both.
Applause Awards are personally issued by StereoNET’s global Editor-in-Chief, David Price – who has over three decades of experience reviewing hi-fi products at the highest level – after consulting with our senior editorial team. They are not automatically given with all reviews, nor can manufacturers purchase them.
The StereoNET editorial team includes some of the world’s most experienced and respected hi-fi journalists with a vast wealth of knowledge. Some have edited popular English language hi-fi magazines, and others have been senior contributors to famous audio journals stretching back to the late 1970s. And we also employ professional IT and home theatre specialists who work at the cutting edge of today’s technology.
We believe that no other online hi-fi and home cinema resource offers such expert knowledge, so when StereoNET gives an Applause Award, it is a trustworthy hallmark of quality. Receiving such an award is the prerequisite to becoming eligible for our annual Product of the Year awards, awarded only to the finest designs in their respective categories. Buyers of hi-fi, home cinema, and headphones can be sure that a StereoNET Applause Award winner is worthy of your most serious attention.
