It does look nice, though I hear that comfort may be an issue. Apparently Mezeā€™s ā€œwingedā€ headband is the secret sauce when it comes to their comfort. The LIRIC being marketed as a portable doesnā€™t use the Empy/Elite headband (as shown).
Maybe theyā€™ll release a closed back Empy/Elite down the road.

Am i the only one who isnā€™t a fan of its looks? Lol. Idk looks like the plastic your carā€™s interior has

Lol, I guess so haha. Just would have been cooler if it was similiar to empyrians elite but closed lol. In terms of the cup material

Ah yes the Liric is announced now. They had a model at CAF and I spent some time with it.

Not counting on it, just hoping

How did you like it?

Iā€™m not a big Meze fan and I didnā€™t think highly of it honestly.

That being said, if you look at the closed back planars around the price (there arenā€™t many), it probably fits in the market.

The biggest thing I was impressed by was the imaging. The imaging was fantastic. Everything elseā€¦ wasnā€™t.

Thatā€™s what I was guessing as well. Never personally have been impressed by any of the meze offerings in sound (so donā€™t have high expectations for the new one lol), but when you now compete with closed backs it might suddenly become a more compelling option

They could have made a much more decorative or textured cup for those Meze and still had their corners cut.
