Meze Audio "Liric" Closed-Back Headphones - $1990 Delivered @ HeyNow Hi-Fi

40

Meze Audio has just released version 2 of the "Liric" headphones last month,
ie. the "Liric II" headphones, and so the "Liric" is now on sale at AU$ 1,990 (was AU$ 3,550).

LIRIC is the first closed-back headphone powered by Rinaro's Isodynamic Hybrid Array Driver, re-engineered for portable use. Created exclusively for Meze Audio, the MZ4 driver offers the same dual shaped voice coil array seen in the Meze Empyrean.

Over 30 years of R&D have gone into developing this technology, resulting in one of the lightest and most advanced planar magnetic drivers on the market.

A new innovation to the MZ4 driver developed in-house by Rinaro is the Phase-X™ system, which improves ambience and spatial sound imaging, often found to be a problem in closed back headphone designs.

FEATURES

  • Closed back, circumaural headphones
  • Lightweight magnesium frame
  • Stainless steel headband with padded cushions
  • Ergonomic ovoid shape
  • Genuine leather headband

    original lirics are not so good

    lyric 2 just announced

    • Yes, it's mentioned in the title post,
      so that's why Liric 1 is being cleared from the inventory.

      The thing is, I wonder how the Liric 2 sounds
      compared to the Liric 1 and other closed-backs.

      I had a quick 30-minute demo last year of Liric 1,
      and I liked its warm-neutral sound.

      • Are there any songs that have been written with Lyric 2 yet?

          Woo-hoo
          Woo-hoo
          Woo-hoo
          Woo-hoo
          I got my head checked
          By a jumbo jet
          It wasn't easy
          But nothing is
          No

  • They’ve spelled Lyric wrong :D

    • Someone hasn't heard about the legendary headphone manufacturer Lil' Eric xD

  • disappointing headphone for the money. But then , usually Mezes are overpriced junk.

    • Do you have suggestions for a good closed back headphone?
