Great review!
I’ve spent the past couple years trying to find a closed-back headphone that has a good combination of comfort for extended listening sessions, transportable and/or portable form factor, and a sound signature that can be improved with eq, but doesn’t absolutely require it to get by.
It looks like that search might have ended with the Liric.
The comforts superb, I can take them nearly anywhere and drive them with nearly anything, and applying Oratory1990’s eq profile makes a decent tuning into something great.
I’ve owned Audeze LCD-XCs (2021), DCA Aeon 2 Noires, ZMF Eikons, and Denon AH-D9200s, and given the criteria of comfort, (trans)portability, and sound signature, the Liric comes out on top.
That being said the price is steep, but if you’re able to get a pair secondhand I think it’s worth considering.
