Our Verdict

Sennheiser HD 800 S

Meze Empyrean

The Sennheiser HD 800 S are better audiophile headphones than the Meze Empyrean for most people. While both headphones are comfortable, the Sennheiser have a more consistent sound delivery and a significantly more immersive sound. However, the Meze are better built and have a hard carrying case.
