Meze Audio 105 SILVA
The 105 SILVA is Meze Audio’s latest open-back dynamic headphone, carefully crafted to strike a balance between vibrant musicality and refined detail. Designed to bring out the emotional depth of music, it delivers an engaging listening experience without compromising micro-details, combining warmth, clarity, and liveliness in a beautifully coherent sound signature.
Engaging, Natural, and Detailed Sound
Whether you’re listening casually or critically, the SILVA’s tuning invites you to explore the full spectrum of your music library with effortless enjoyment and nuance.
Aesthetic Inspired by Mid-Century Modernism
Visually, the 105 SILVA is a tribute to the timeless elegance of the Mid-Century Modern design movement. The walnut wood ear cups and radial PC-ABS grilles blend vintage warmth with modern simplicity, resulting in a design that feels both familiar and refined — one that transcends trends and ages gracefully.
Rooted in Nature and Heritage
Named after the Latin and Romanian word for “forest,” Silva pays homage to the ancient woodlands of Maramureș in northern Romania — Meze Audio’s home. This natural inspiration echoes through the headphone’s organic tonality and tactile materials, reinforcing Meze’s commitment to authenticity in both sound and form.
A Sound Signature All Its Own
While the 105 SILVA borrows sonic influences from the acclaimed 109 PRO and the 105 AER, it charts its own course. It offers the richness and genre versatility of the 109 PRO, paired with the clarity and articulation of the 105 AER. However, it also introduces a more expressive midrange that enhances vocal intimacy and the natural resonance of acoustic stringed instruments — creating a sound signature that’s both personal and immersive.
Engineered for Everyday Listening
Designed with comfort, durability, and musical immersion in mind, the 105 SILVA is built to be a long-term companion:
