The Russian company Rinaro Isodynamics was founded in Ukraine during the Cold War as part of a state-funded research program to innovate in the field of electro-acoustics.

Now with facilities in Poland and Ukraine, they have created the best isodynamic hybrid driver* in the world used by Meze Audio from Romania in their flagship Empyrean/Elite headphones.

*  Isodynamic drivers use a low mass acoustic diaphragm built on an ultra-thin biaxially oriented semi-crystalline polymer film to reproduce music.

Mr Putin, let the Ukrainian people hear the sound of music, not the sound of your bombs.

We have tested both the Empyrean and the Elite headphones before the war. And we liked them so much we awarded both ‘Headphone Of the Year 2021’.

Please, read the full review in English here in light of the recent tragic events and think how wonderful the world would be if Russia and Ukraine still cooperated to create music instead of war.

Mr Putin, let the Ukrainian people hear the sound of music, not the sound of your bombs. Music is life. War is death. Make music, not war. Stop the invasion now! Stop killing innocent people!
