Meze Audio LIRIC II
Closed-back isodynamic over-ear headphones with Macassar ebony earcups
Design & Concept
Rooted in the craftsmanship tradition of Maramureș, the LIRIC II keeps the iconic design language of its predecessor while adding a touch of warmth through the use of wood in the earcups. The chosen material—Macassar ebony—is a dense, visually striking hardwood known for its deep brown color and fine golden-brown streaks.
Each headphone is unique. The character of Macassar ebony ensures every LIRIC II is not just a device for music, but a personal statement with its own story.
Staying true to the original LIRIC heritage, the LIRIC II blends tradition and innovation—resulting in a headphone that impresses both visually and sonically.
Sound
At the heart of the LIRIC II is Meze Audio’s closed-back isodynamic headphone technology, carefully tuned to deliver a clean and precise sound with just the right touch of warmth for added depth.
This tuning helps ensure music is reproduced with high fidelity, capturing every nuance and detail.
Built for Life
The LIRIC II continues Meze Audio’s commitment to longevity and serviceability with detachable magnetic earpads. This thoughtful feature simplifies maintenance and makes the headphone a reliable companion for listeners who value lasting quality.
Quality & Cables
Meze Audio enhances the LIRIC II listening experience with a premium hand-braided copper cable as the standard option. It features a 4.4 mm termination, making it a great match for most portable headphone amplifiers.
For home listening, a 3 m soft TPE cable with a 3.5 mm jack is included—ensuring the LIRIC II is versatile enough for different listening environments.
The LIRIC II marks a new chapter of audio excellence: refined sound, inspired design, and improved reliability—proof of Meze’s ongoing pursuit of perfection.

Measurements
Frequency response
What does this mean?
The line marked as target is something you could call the “ideal” curve: a target response derived from research by the Harman group, exploring what kind of headphone tuning tends to be preferred by a broad range of listeners – regardless of age or demographics. This is often referred to as the Harman Target.
From left to right you see sub-bass, bass, mids, and then the curve tilts upward where treble begins. That part of the spectrum is naturally amplified by the shape of the human ear.
Sub-bass sits slightly above the target, the bass is clearly elevated. The lower mids are neutral, the presence region around 3 kHz hits the target. The treble is slightly tuned more relaxed – never sharp, easy over long sessions, above 10 kHz there is a lot of extra air. Left and right channels track each other closely, a sign of careful driver matching.
