Meze Audio LIRIC - The portable isodynamic hybrid array headphone

[kundica]

Does anyone else’s headband have two bubble/blister type things where the Liric logo is embossed? Doesn’t look like an intentional thing to me…

Mine is more flat like the rest of the top. Your photo looks like a QC issue, although, somewhat minor.

That’s what I thought. Although minor it sticks out quite a bit and makes them look a bit cheap. What are your thoughts on the material? I thought the headband was genuine leather but 95% sure this is PU leather.

i think it is normal and a design thing

Interesting. Perhaps it's a perspective thing with photos because mine doesn't appear bulbous to the eye.

Meze states :

""""Padded headband cushions are symmetrically placed in a “+” shape to allow proper air flow, and lowers the heat and humidity buildup. Covered in genuine leather, """""

Exactly like mine...! My others Meze headbands (Empyrean and 99 Classics) are more uniform in that respect

Anyone able to comment on how Liric pairs with LPGT and Cayin C9 ?

Thanks

No, it's not normal but isn't a difect I suppose

The Cayin C9 pairs well and matches greatly with everything I have tested, including the Liric.
Great full bodied sound with well controlled treble and headroom to spare.

Anyone experienced Liric with FiiO M17 and/or IFI xdsd Gryphon? Thanks

The Gryphon is another benchmark device that matches with everything I have tested including the Liric.
It would easily count as end game portable solution for a lot of folks out there.

From how you talk about it, not just portable

With the power on tap , certainly not only portable, especially for the lazy ones like me who sit on an armchair with an Android tablet and a glass of wine!!!

So do you suggest Gryphon also as a desktop system connected to active speakers

I haven't tried this kind of connection so I can't comment.
