Meze Audio Liric Closed Back Headphones

The Meze Liric headphones offer a great combination of style, comfort, and performance. The luxurious build quality is immediately apparent, and the headphones are extremely comfortable to wear for long listening sessions. The highlight of the Liric is the MZ4 isodynamic hybrid array driver, which provides superb detail and clarity across the entire frequency range. The headphones have a wonderful agility that allows them to easily keep up with complex music, and the sound is nicely balanced with just a touch of extra richness at mid to low frequencies. If you're looking for a great pair of headphones that offer exceptional performance, the Meze Liric should definitely be at the top of your list.

When Sound Meets Poetry, Something Extraordinary Comes To Life

“In our folklore, lyricism is found in the smallest of details, from odes to poems, from flute songs to the melismatic tunes of the “doina” (a style of voice singing specific to Romania). Our first closed-back isodynamic headphone was born out of love for music, poetry, and the indisputable attachment we have to our country’s culture.

We’ve been wanting to do a portable planar for a while, and following two successful collaborations with Rinaro, it was a natural next step. Naming it LIRIC was not a game of chance. It was an ideal metaphor to paint the authentic, vivid, and poetic sound disguised behind its ethereal silhouette.” -Antonio Meze, Lead Designer and Founder of Meze Audio

Award-Winning Technology In a Portable Frame

LIRIC features the state-of-the-art technology developed by Rinaro, re-engineered for day-to-day use. The MZ4 Isodynamic Hybrid Array driver was scaled down and tuned to deliver an audio experience in-line with its larger counterparts found in Empyrean and Elite.
Combined with the closed-back design, it helps preserve the original clarity and emotion of your favorite music through enhanced sound and minimized external noise. Each driver is entirely hand assembled and tested in Rinaro’s industrial facility in Ukraine

MZ4 Isodynamic Hybrid Array Driver

LIRIC is the first closed-back headphone to be powered by Rinaro’s Isodynamic Hybrid Array driver. 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 ambiance and spatial sound imaging, often found to be a problem in closed-back headphone designs.

Optimal Airflow Control

Padded headband cushions are symmetrically placed in a “+” shape to allow proper airflow, and lower the heat and humidity buildup. Covered in genuine leather, the headband is perfectly tuned for optimal pressure distribution - it follows the structure of the head, creating firm and even contact. Just like all Meze Audio headphones, LIRIC is easily adjustable for a sturdy, yet comfortable feel that fits most head shapes.
