The newly-announced Meze Liric 2 headphone has the same list price as the outgoing model, at $2,000 (US and Europe). While the Liric 2 shares some similarities with the original Liric headphone, there are big improvements to the midrange and treble response, thanks to some new tech located in front of the driver itself. In this review I cover everything from build quality to sound quality, including comparisons to the LCD-XC from Audeze!
