Meze Audio 105 AER Open-Back Headphones

Rich-sounding and versatile, the Meze Audio 105 AER was created for those who value a deeper connection to their music - an adaptable open-back headphone, perfectly suited for all musical genres. Drawing inspiration from the bold shapes of the Art Deco style, every detail is refined and intentional - both in sound and design.

PREMIUM SENSORIAL EXPERIENCE

Built with timelessness in mind, every component is made using premium materials: cast zinc alloy hardware with PVD coating, spring steel headband, PC-ABS ear cups, velour ear pads, and a soft PU leather headband. Combined with Meze's high standards in terms of ergonomics, 105 AER is not only extremely resilient but also their lightest open-back model to date. 105 AER is designed to offer a listening experience so comfortable and engaging that you'll forget you're wearing them.

DRIVER DESIGN

The 50 mm dynamic driver architecture has proven to be remarkably reliable and versatile. To keep 105 AER as accessible as possible, the driver membrane and frame underwent slight modifications. Meze took this opportunity to introduce a unique new headphone voicing that fits all musical genres. Made of a carbon fiber-reinforced cellulose composite, the dome can reproduce high-frequencies with incredible detail, clarity, and definition. More durable than conventional alternatives used in dynamic drivers, yet lightweight, this composite helps reduce resonances that may lead to harmonic distortion.

The torus surrounding the dome is made of PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone), a semicrystalline polymer with excellent mechanical properties. PEEK’s high tensile strength and stiffness ensure the driver membrane maintains structural integrity under high stress, while its lightweight nature allows for quicker movement in response to audio signals. This enhances clarity and detail, making every note and nuance in your music come alive. Additionally, PEEK boasts superior internal damping characteristics, which reduce unwanted resonances and vibrations. Stiffness and durability are also enhanced through the grooves on the torus, which are precisely positioned at a 45.5° angle. The copper-zinc alloy stabilizer, positioned around the membrane, improves the absorption of vibrations to further reduce distortion.

LUSH SOUND

Let 105 AER be the catalyst for a renewed musical journey - lush sounding, with a profound sense of space and clear distinction between instruments. Tuned by one of Meze's talented acoustic engineers, 105 AER delivers an exceptionally lush audio presentation. The sound is rich and refined, with a warm and full-bodied quality that envelops you. A slight emphasis on the bass and sub-bass regions allows for a deeper, more resonant foundation, enhancing the overall sense of immersion and adding a satisfying depth to your music.

ALL DAY LISTENING

Velour cushions comfortably surround the ears, providing the optimal seal to create natural sound. Since velour is far softer and more breathable than leather, it also prevents sweat and overheating during lengthy listening sessions. The self-adjusting headband spreads the weight out to deliver even pressure for any head shape and size.
