We're here today to talk about this exciting new headphone from Meze Audio. The Liric 2, numeral two, second generation? Technically, Meze is just calling this the Liric, just that. It is just a direct replacement for the original popular Liric closed back planar magnetic headphone. We're going to do something a little different today for a headphone review.

Well, let's get to it.
