Meze Audio Liric Closed Back Headphone

"Within our cultural fabric, poetry is woven into the very essence of life. It dances in the whispers of wind, echoes in ancient melodies, and finds solace in the heartbeats of our songs. Our journey into crafting the LIRIC, our inaugural closed-back isodynamic headphone, was propelled by a passion for music, a reverence for poetry, and a deep-rooted connection to our heritage."

— Antonio Meze, Lead Designer and Founder of Meze Audio

Inspired by the desire to bring the richness of high-fidelity sound to the portable realm, the LIRIC is a testament to craftsmanship, comfort, and an immersive sonic experience.

Award-Winning Innovation

Harnessing cutting-edge technology from Rinaro, the LIRIC incorporates the MZ4 Isodynamic Hybrid Array driver, meticulously scaled down for everyday enjoyment. This driver, renowned in models like the Empyrean and Elite, has been expertly tuned to maintain the purity and emotion of your music, while its closed-back design ensures minimal interference from external distractions. Handcrafted with precision at Rinaro's facility in Ukraine, each driver epitomizes excellence.

Unparalleled Performance

With total harmonic distortion measuring under 0.15% across the frequency spectrum, the LIRIC delivers a distortion-free listening experience. Weighing a mere 71 grams, its lightweight design ensures hours of comfortable wear, while the Phase-X™ System enhances spatial imaging for an immersive auditory journey.

Technical Marvel

The LIRIC boasts an upper frequency limit of 92,000 Hz, ensuring every nuance of your music is faithfully reproduced. With an impedance of 30 ohms and a nominal SPL of 100 dB, it can be effortlessly driven by a wide range of portable devices without compromising on performance.

Elevated Listening Experience

The MZ4 driver employs a dual-driven system, combining switchback and spiral-shaped voice coils within the diaphragm. This innovative design optimizes sound targeting, resulting in improved imaging and localization. By strategically positioning the diaphragm to focus on mid-high frequencies directly over the ear canal, the LIRIC achieves superior 3D imaging and spatial accuracy.
