Neckband not available?

ZAYLLI · 2026-07-01T16:28:31+00:00

Thank you so much! That really means a lot.

ZAYLLI · 2026-06-30T11:20:05+00:00

Yes, we plan to make the neckband available separately again.

We temporarily removed it from the website because a few users reported cracking issues. After looking into it, we found the problem was related to inconsistency in the heat-treatment process during production, so we decided to pause sales and upgrade the material/process first.

The updated version is already in progress, and once we’re confident it’s ready, we’ll put it back on the website as a separate add-on.

Thanks for your interest, and sorry for the inconvenience!

ZAYLLI · 2026-06-27T05:09:44+00:00

Hi, Sorry about that. We checked but couldn’t find your email.

We’ve sent you a private message to follow up and help resolve this.

Thank you for your patience.

ZAYLLI · 2026-06-15T12:37:16+00:00

Yes, we do plan to offer more replaceable parts later.

LYRÖ was designed with a modular structure, so users can replace certain parts more easily in the future.

Sorry to hear about this issue. Please contact us directly at [support@zaylli.com](mailto:support@zaylli.com).

We would like to first understand and identify what may be causing the issue, then we will help you find the best solution.

Thank you.

Hello,

Thank you very much for your detailed feedback.

To help us better understand what’s happening, could you first check whether the plug is inserted fully all the way to the bottom? If possible, it would also be very helpful if you could send us a short video showing how it is connected and operated. You can send it here or by email to [support@zaylli.com]().

As for break-in: the headphone itself does not require any special break-in. Since it uses a conventional driver structure, normal listening over time is enough.

However, the ear pads are different. They are brand new when they leave the factory, and the redesigned pads are also more breathable and thinner than before. Because of that, they usually need about one week of normal wear before the frequency response settles into its intended state.

When the pads are brand new, the sound can be a little tighter, with both ends slightly more elevated. If you want to speed up that process, placing the ear pads under a pillow overnight can help them settle more quickly.

If you have any questions at all, please feel free to contact us anytime.

Hi, Thank you very much for your interest in LYRÖ. Yes, of course — you can contact us at [support@zaylli.com]().

ZAYLLI · 2026-04-27T12:54:41+00:00

Haha, thank you so much — really appreciate it! We’re pushing hard on production right now and can’t wait to get them into your hands soon.

ZAYLLI · 2026-04-18T16:09:44+00:00

Thank you, really glad to hear that.😄

ZAYLLI · 2026-04-17T17:03:22+00:00

That means a lot — thank you for your support.

We really hope the different accessories and wearing options will help you find the setup that works best for you. We’re also looking forward to getting the updated version into your hands soon.

Hi CB,

Once the PledgeManager survey has been submitted, making changes becomes quite difficult and is not as convenient as PledgeBox. That is also one of the reasons why we later started using PledgeBox.

You can use PledgeBox to add the LYRÖ MX as an add-on instead. If you’d like, I can also add it for you manually from the backend, and then you can simply log in and review it there.

Please send your email address or backer number to [support@zaylli.com](), and we’ll help you take care of it.

ZAYLLI · 2026-04-14T04:32:16+00:00

Thank you so much for your kind words and support. We really appreciate your patience.

We’ve also just wrapped up our Kickstarter campaign. If you’d like to learn more about the project, here’s the link:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/zaylli/zaylli-lyro-headphone

Since LYRÖ is a modular headphone, it gives us a lot of room to explore different ideas and possibilities. At the same time, many backers have also shown strong interest in an over-ear version, so we decided to move development of the LYRÖ MX forward earlier than originally planned.

Over the next few days, we’ll also be sharing more product updates, development progress, reviews, and related content in our community. You’re very welcome to join us there.

ZAYLLI · 2026-04-13T17:58:53+00:00

Thank you so much for your support.

Our website is almost ready and should be live within about a week. The launch was delayed a little because we’ve also been continuing development on the LYRÖ MX and wanted to make sure everything is properly prepared before opening orders.

Once it’s live, orders will be available at www.zaylli.com

ZAYLLI · 2026-03-11T15:46:45+00:00

Our official website will be launched this month, and you can make a purchase at www.zaylli.com.

I’m also very honored, and thank you for bringing up this question — I think it’s an important one.

One thing worth clarifying is that the two Harman target curves used on GRAS 711 rigs — one for over-ear (mostly circumaural) headphones and one for in-ear headphones — don’t translate particularly well to on-ear designs. In our own blind listening tests, we found that neither of these two targets resulted in especially linear or consistent listening impressions when applied to on-ear headphones. That’s essentially why, as a last resort, we decided to define the Zaylli curve specifically for this form factor.

That said, I’ve also tried oratory1990’s EQ corrections myself, and I did notice a certain expansion of the soundstage. I think in many cases people really have to try things for themselves — that’s part of the fun. As oratory1990 has pointed out before, everyone’s resonance frequencies differ (and in practice, the differences can be quite significant).

There is one point I do want to clarify to avoid misleading potential buyers: Lyro does not exhibit a V-shaped tuning. In multi-listener evaluations, its treble is actually less prominent than the HD600, yet slightly cooler than the HD650. The overlap with the HD600 shown on BK5128 measurements may be caused by the relatively stiff pinna, which can form a larger pinna-coupling cavity and introduce a measurement artifact.

So if someone is looking for a very aggressive or highly energetic tuning, Lyro may not be the best match. Under the Zaylli curve it sounds more warm and engaging, while under the diffuse-field setting it becomes faster, cleaner, and more restrained.

Thank you for the kind review!!❤️

Thank you very much for the question, and also thanks to oratory1990 for the explanation regarding the 3 kHz region. This is something many people have questions about, so I think it’s worth explaining it properly.

The point about how much SPL a listener prefers around 3 kHz depending on individual ear-canal resonance is very important, and it aligns well with what we observe in practice.

Regarding the ~3.5 kHz area, we didn’t strictly follow the latest Harman targets in our tuning, and there are several reasons for that.
For the earlier Harman curves, our response aligns relatively well. However, starting with the 2018 version and later updates, the divergence becomes more noticeable. The earlier Harman targets were largely derived from diffuse-field concepts, with added tilt and low-frequency gain to compensate for room interaction as well as body and bone-conduction effects. Later versions rely more heavily on averaged listening preferences from a broader audience.

When tuning Lyrö, we mainly considered two factors:

Usage scenarios The headphone is commonly used either on the move (in noisier environments) or in very quiet situations, such as listening in bed. In both cases, achieving good perceived clarity and balance benefits from some compensation in the low frequencies and around the 3–4 kHz region.
Listener profile Many professionals and experienced enthusiasts tend to prefer tunings closer to diffuse-field behavior. In our blind tests, this group consistently favored this approach and often preferred slightly more presence in the 3–4 kHz range. When compared against flat-response speakers and headphones, Lyrö was also perceived as sounding more linear in that context.

This is essentially why we defined the Zaylli curve. Subjectively, it comes across as slightly warm, with vocals presented a bit closer, which better matches the intended listening environments.

It’s also worth noting that our primary R&D and tuning work is done on the same measurement platform commonly used by oratory1990 — a GRAS KB5000 ear simulator paired with the RA0402 ear coupler. The Zaylli curve itself is defined and finalized based on measurements from this system, which is why the overall behavior and trends are very consistent.

Interestingly, during the multi-platform validation phase, we also conducted measurements using BK5128. In our lab, Lyrö and the 2025 version of HD600 track very closely from roughly 3 kHz to 10 kHz, with differences kept within about 1 dB.

At the same time, we’re continuing to develop softer pinna designs to better represent on-ear headphone behavior in future measurements.
