I’m sure it would effect the sound perhaps negatively but man these would look gorgeous with wood cups like the meze classics or the old audeze lcd xc.
I think the external material can be whatever. Just more expensive to manufacture and less durable.
Man I didn't even think of that. They could have a few different woods. Would look amazing with those cup shapes and hardware.
Your wish was granted with the release of the Liric 2.
A comparison to the DCA Stealth would be nice!
I had a Stealth but didn't like its tonality or bass response & returned it. Now I have the Liric and it is better by far, definitely a keeper; less expensive than the Stealth also.
For me to Stealth is biggest letdown of the year, the lacking of dynamic is joke for 4000$
seems like Dan Clark hasnt improve since Ether 2...glad I went with ZMF Verite Close
I tried your recommended EQ settings for the Liric. I hear a reduction in brightness with EQ, but the headphone loses some of its character that is appealing and makes it unique. I thought the EQ settings made the Liric sound blah.
Excellent review. I was looking to buy the Radiance or the Stellia. Not now I want these. Your review is so informative and honest. I thought the Stellias looked so luxurious but I dont want bling. I have the Bathys and they are enough bling for me with their flashing lights. Thank you again.
Chrono keeps looking better and better after every video. 😍
Funny how no one mentions that you need a special tool kit to change the earpads.
I rarely change ear pads. I’ve never even changed the ear pads on my HD 650 or 600 after several years. 😂. It is finally time to change the pads on the HD 600, though, and it’s going to be a lot easier than on the Liric. 😌
shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Because they are paid by these audio companies to shill for their products.
@@michaelp.3485 Nononononnonon. But yes :))))
So I had brief opportunity to audition these but unfortunately only got to use ifi GO BLU. The highs are quite prominent and accentuate sibilance, definitely a deal breaker for my treble-sensitive ear. The treble was very 'tizzy'. Wondering if the GO BLU simply a bad match for these?
How does this compare with the Aeon 2 Noire?
I had a chance to try out the Meze Elite vs. the LCD 5. The Meze blew it out of the water. I own the 109 pro and quite love them. Meze just impresses me in so many ways. I'd love to give these a try. If they sound anything like the Elite it is God tier.
It ain't even double in audio quality compared to the original selling price of the T12nd gen. Mine got scratched sitting in the box, so much for the build quality? I don't understand how people justify its price.
@@UrSSuL Actually bought the Lirics. I use them for the gym and late night shopping. Absolutely love them. Definitely a different sound some may not like. The detail is superb. Amazing imagining and has a 3D quality.
@@OblivionIce i was talking about the elites. 2k Headphones sold for 4- 5. Absolute bonkers
@@UrSSuL Agreed. They aren't worth double the Lirics imo.
@@OblivionIce they are different style. OB vs C. I 'd still go with the VC, but to each their own.
But still, as I said, I compared them to my T1's 2nd gen (the Elite) , which new were in today's money 1000+, and the Elite are not double the T1's as far as qualities go. Yes, better sepparation, but not double. And as I said, literally scratched paint from sitting in the box. And the box is shaddy quality. No way in hell they are 4+ k Headphones.
Curious as to why you don't own the ZMF VC anymore?
Just a wild guess, but i think where he lives an open headphone is a viable option. Most audiophiles prefer the sound of open over closed headphones.
We are looking forward the Bose QC45 review. And comparison between QC45 vs wh1000xm4 vs mobius.
"We" are not the same
In his latest stream Andrew stated that the QC45 has one of the worst FR on the market for noise cancelling headphones along the xm4 (without eq). Both are bad for music but have excellent features. The only good Nc headphone for music (tuning + detail retrieval) is the sennheiser momentum 3 but the battery life is average at best and the noise cancelling.is poor.
now these are sexy! I bought a celestee and I'm happy but these are upgrade drool worthy.
I also love my Celestee so underrated
The Liric, 109 pro and 99 classic are one of the best looking headphones on the market. A lot of headphones sound great but look ugly as hell. And even if we listen to them and not watch them, it's always neat to have a good looking product that fit your home and is nice to show to ppl.
Insane price, never gonna buy that (gonna buy the 109 pro). Love the look of the Liric even if it doesn't have wood.
How happy are you with the 109 Pro's if you did end up getting them?
Soundstage is quite small? 😕
Not at all
Audeze lcd xc or Meze Liric? Anyone have thoughts? About these two headphones….
Don't think about xc
@@MeteoraEra there seems to be a fair amount of positive reactions to the newest version of the xc. What makes you say this? Thanks!
@@cbomb1723 I've tried 2021 versions with Hugo 2, Mojos, A&K sr25 and A&K KANN,
Issues:
It was meh in general, good detail but nothing to really resonate with me and make me feel like oh for example mids were good or bass, maybe its just me but I found them just a good pair or headphone nothing special.. But there was one huge issue, 600+ grams weight, its so uncomfortable you won't even care how it sounds. But i talked with two people who have Liric and both are blown away by the sound especially when they drive it with MOJO 2, they said the synergy between these 2 are amazing.
Thank you, hugely helpful.
@@MeteoraEra The Liric is not without its fair share of problems too. What the heck is going on with the frequency response there? Did someone take a spoon and just scooped out high lows and low mids? Its treble is also peaky. If @C Bomb172 is considering closed back, he should be looking into the Stealth, Aeon Noire, Verite, or even with their horrible QC issues, Focals.
in terms of spherical soundstage, is Verite Closed or Liric better?
Wow looking good dude 👌
Any info on what you were using to drive these?
Phonitor XE
chrono is on a diet,
True and real.
First?
OK, now that's just plain cheating. :)
Price alone is a turnoff. Meze forgot people like me that bought 99 classics.
Meze has a lot more on their mind than just those who got their Classics. For those who find them worth it will find a way to invest in them. And naturally there will be a ton who will complain for various reasons, no matter the price or affordability.
@@bladelefusyn3337 So far price is biggest issue with these. There's plenty of comments about it here. You can invest in anything with that mindset. Other companies are making high end and entry level. Why is meze the only company that only have the neos or classics as lower end stuff. They're not a boutique company like ZMF. But hey that's just my 2 cents.
Seems to be a lot of different Meze headphones out there right now all of a sudden. So many it's hard to keep track of them. Meze is almost competing with themselves in a way. We need a Meze vs Meze HP comparison video at some point
I think the price point is very attractive... There are a ton of TOTL or near TOTL close backs between $2k and $2.5k... Liric, Verite Closed, Stellia. Abyss closed will be higher as are the DC stealths.
What's your line of work?
Meze drivers are made in Ukraine are they not ?
Does this not put a dark cloud over the future of the company ?
I hope not ....
Prayers go out to the people of Ukraine .
🇺🇦
Romania dude
@@enjoshi-godrez8775 The company who makes the drivers, Rinaro, has facilities in Ukraine, so Robbie is right.
@@lingonberryjam320 ah, I didn't know that. Thanks.
@@lingonberryjam320 looks like there are quite a few audio companies that make stuff in Ukraine. Never would of expected it.
