Empire Ears
Empire Ears was unique in its ambition to design the extraordinary and achieve the impossible. Driven by passionate engineers, talented musicians, and exacting audiophiles, the company was utterly consumed by the desire to create the world's finest in-ear monitors.
A family-owned company in Atlanta, Georgia, they had over 30 years experience in acoustic engineering and manufacturing spanning the medical, consumer, and professional markets. Every one of their in-ear monitors were handcrafted by meticulous artisans and tested against the highest standards, so that they can deliver a product that you can be as passionate about as they were.
Sadly, Empire Ears officially closed its doors on February 27, 2026, ending a decade of operation as a premier high-end in-ear monitor (IEM) manufacturer. The company cited insurmountable challenges, including ongoing health issues (reportedly involving founder Dean Bang), rising operating costs, and shifting market conditions.
