The open-back High End headphones
Following our intentional design philosophy, the Empyrean II stands as a harmonious blend of artistry, innovation, and craftsmanship. Our aim was to elevate the headphones' ability to reproduce intricate details and achieve a more neutral sound signature, while still maintaining the original "easy to listen to" character.
Over thirty years of audio innovation
Rinaro Isodynamics, founded in Ukraine, has been at the forefront of acoustic technology research for 30 years, pioneering advancements in planar magnetics. With new R&D and manufacturing facilities in Ukraine and Poland, they developed the Isodynamic Hybrid Array technology used in Empyrean and Elite headphones.
Empyrean II is the result of a fruitful collaboration between two passionate companies exploring uncharted territories. Our engineering team has expertly harnessed the power of Rinaro’s Isodynamic Hybrid Array Driver to unlock a new world of sound. This endeavor has unveiled new possibilities in resolution and detail retrieval, offering a cleaner and more accurate sound representation compared to the original Empyrean.

ARCHITECTURE OF THE ISODYNAMIC HYBRID ARRAY DRIVER©
Total harmonic distortion (THD) measures under 0.05% throughout the audible frequency range.
LIGHTWEIGHT
Reduced driver weight designed to create a headphone that offers prolonged listening sessions.
ERGONOMIC SHAPE
Anatomically designed driver structure.
ULTRA-HIGH-RESOLUTION AUDIO
Upper-frequency limit of audio reproduction is 110,000 Hz.
Symmetrically placed on each side of the diaphragm, the neodymium magnets are specifically arranged into a Hybrid Array to create the efficient Isodynamic magnetic field required for a uniform activation across the whole diaphragm surface.
RINARO ISOPLANAR® DIAPHRAGM
Weighing only 0.16 g while having 4650 mm2 of active area.
[MZ3] FRAME
Fiberglass-infused ABS.
The switchback coil of the diaphragm is more efficient at reproducing lower frequencies and is positioned in the upper part of the driver.
The spiral coil of the diaphragm is more efficient at reproducing middle-high frequencies and is positioned directly over the ear canal enabling more direct sound waves to enter the ear without any time delays.

Duo ear pads
We researched and tested various material ratios to achieve the best there is to offer. The outcome is a flawless fusion: well-sustained bass frequencies owed to the leather, with beautiful refinement and spatiality from Alcantara®.
Angled Alcantara ear pads
Made of soft foam coated with Alcantara®, with a fine protective mesh on the grill, the Angled ear pads excel at rendering intricate details and nuances in your recordings. The angled shape creates more space inside the ear pad, which translates to an airier sound signature, with cleaner bass and improved presence in the mid-range frequency, when paired with Empyrean II. The result is a detailed and accurate listening experience, for the classic audiophile.
