Meze Audio

LIRIC (2nd Gen) Closed-Back Headphones

£1,899

The recently launched LIRIC 2nd Generation headphones are lightweight, easy to adjust, with an effortless presentation, which is slightly on the warmer side.

LIRIC 2 has Macasser ebony wood ear cups and detachable magnetic ear pads – these new closed-back isodynamic hybrid array headphones also feature premium, hand braided, copper cables.

To allow for optimal ear cup chamber pressure and better airflow control LIRIC 2 has a finely tuned Pressure Equalisation System. This has also been upgraded to achieve a smoother transition from the bass frequency region into the low midrange.

Meze Audio LIRIC II Closed-Back Headphones

Meze presents the worthy successor to their original closed-back isodynamic headphone featuring hybrid array drivers, magnetic detachable ear pads and a unique pressure equalisation system.

The Meze LIRIC 2 is a high-end portable headphone sporting a closed-back circumaural design along with MZ4 hybrid array drivers, created in collaboration with Rinaro Isodynamics.

Unlike the neutral black cups of its predecessor, LIRIC 2 features hardwood Macassar ebony cups, accented by gold and brown stripes for a warm and truly striking presentation.

Each LIRIC 2 model ships with multiple cable types to cater for a wide range of audiophile source components. A 4.4mm terminated copper PCUHD cable is included for balanced duties, while a longer 3.5mm TPE cable is on hand for unbalanced sources (including a 6.35mm gold plated adaptor).
