“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.”

Designed for high-fidelity listening on the go, LIRIC delivers high build quality and excellent comfort, and a life-like, immersive listening experience.
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.
Total harmonic distortion (THD) measures under 0.15% in the whole frequency range.
71g combined driver weight designed to create a headphone that offers comfortable listening on the go.
Improved ambience and spatial sound imaging through innovative technology.
Upper frequency limit of audio reproduction is 92,000 Hz.
100dB@1mw/1kHz; 30Ω. Can be driven by almost any portable source without needing amplification.
One of the most sophisticated and advanced planar magnetic technologies in the world has been scaled down for portable use.
The MZ4 driver combines individual switchback and spiral shaped voice coils within the same diaphragm, allowing sound to be targeted with more accuracy around the natural form of the ear, for a more selective acoustic performance.
Using this combination allows the headphone to achieve an increased exposure of direct sound wave frequencies over the 10kHz range, as well as improved imaging and localization, by decreasing the impact of short-wave time delays caused by diffused field reflections.
At frequencies above 10kHz, where sound wave length is smaller than the cushions inner cavity, the sound field becomes diffused with an amount of direct and reflected sound waves within the ear canal.
A significant increase of direct sound waves was achieved by positioning the most efficient part of the diaphragm in mid-high frequencies directly over the ear canal, resulting in improved 3D imaging and spatial localization.
Frequecy Response - 4-92,000 Hz
Impedance - 30 ohms
Nominal SPL - 100 db (1mW / 1kHz)
Maximum SPL - > 130dB
Total Harmonic Distortion - <0.15%
Weight - 391g
Geometrical Shape - Ovoid
Size - 92mm x 63mm
Driver Weight - 71 g
Casing - Fiberglass Reinforced Polymer
Diaphragm Type - Rinaro Isoplanar® MZ4

Upper-Frequency Limit - 92,000 Hz
The Meze Audio Liric has a likable but more aggressive sound signature than what Meze Audio fans might be used to coming from the Empyrean and Elite. It gives up a bit in terms of resolution and dynamic range but in return, you get something much more immediate, fun if you like, and an entirely suitable high-end listening experience for portable audio fans.
