Here are the measurements - I’m just about to hop on a plane so this may be a bit brief.

Comfort, build and aesthetics are of course incredible, like all Meze headphones. But overall, this one isn’t for me without EQ. Too much upper treble zing. Curbing that goes a long way to making it more enjoyable. So this is a meaningful improvement over Liric 1 but still not quite there yet IMO.
One nice thing though is that they now have magnetic pads rather than adhesive, so maybe my quibbles can be solved with a pad swap.
