Latest Open-Back Headphones from Meze Promise a "Clear, Captivating, and Rich Audio Performance"
Meze 105 Silva Wired Open-Back Headphones: A Premium Listening Experience
The highly anticipated Meze 105 Silva headphones are set to make their debut at the High End Munich showcase in 2025, with prices to be announced later in the year. This latest offering from Meze promises a rich, broad, and warm soundstage, combining the technicalities of the 109 PRO with the warmth and versatility of the 105 AER.
Designed to last, every component of the 105 Silva headphones is replaceable, ensuring they stand the test of time. The headphones are crafted with a mid-century modern aesthetic, with hand-polished walnut wood ear cups combined with ABS plastic and steel. The magnesium steel frame and zinc alloy hardware add to the durability, while the soft velour ear pads, thick memory foam, and padded faux (vegan) leather headband liner ensure comfort during extended listening sessions.
The 105 Silva headphones feature 50mm dynamic drivers with a cellulose composite dome and a titanium-coated surround. The drivers also include a titanium-coated torus and a copper-zinc stabilizer, which improve rigidity and strength for accurate sound reproduction. The frequency response ranges from 5 Hz – 30,000 Hz, with an impedance of 42 Ohms and sensitivity of 112 dB SPL (1 kHz/1 mW). The total harmonic distortion is less than 0.1% at 1 kHz.
The 105 Silva comes with two detachable cables: a 1.8m OFC (oxygen-free copper) cable with Kevlar wrap and aluminum housings, and a standard 5-foot cable. The headphones also include adapters for 3.5 mm to 6.3 mm and 3.5 mm to USB-C with integrated DAC/AMP for compatibility with various devices.
The sound of the 105 Silva is detailed and articulate, with pronounced mids, sparkling highs, and controlled bass. The balanced warm yet precise and spacious soundstage offers excellent imaging suitable for music and film. The acoustically transparent earcup grilles allow for an open-back sound signature.
The 105 Silva headphones have been recognized as the top wired headphones by experts, and their accurate midrange, which excels with vocals and strings, further cements their reputation.
