Empire Ears is a high-end in-ear monitor manufacturer based in Atlanta, Georgia, founded by father-and-son team Dean and Jack Vang. The company draws on decades of acoustic engineering experience spanning the medical, consumer, and professional audio markets, and hand-assembles its custom and universal IEMs in the United States.
The brand is known for ambitious multi-driver designs that combine balanced armature, dynamic, electrostatic, and bone-conduction drivers in a single shell. Flagship models such as the Legend X, Odin, Odin MKII, and Raven helped establish Empire Ears' reputation in the audiophile community for bass-forward tunings and large-scale soundstage presentation. The catalog also includes the EP Series and the X-Series (Vantage, Legend X), with separate lines aimed at performing musicians and at home listeners.
Empire Ears IEMs are used by touring musicians, producers, and audio engineers, and the company is a founding member of the In-Ear Monitor International Trade Organization. Endorsing artists have included Flo Rida, the band Movements, and producer/songwriter duo Brasstracks, alongside Grammy-winning engineers and producers such as Michael Graves, Sonny Emory, and Crystal Nicole.
Empire Ears has 4 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Headphones & In-Ear Monitors. Their gear is featured by 5 artists, with the strongest followings in Hip Hop, Funk / Soul, and Rock. Notable users include Future, Tony Cappochi, and Conor Rayne.
