Meze 105 AER: A Lush Sonic Oasis

Today, we’re finally announcing the arrival of the 105 AER, the latest open-back masterpiece from Meze Audio. First unveiled to the world at High End Munich 2024, the 105 AER embodies a harmonious blend of nature-inspired design, cutting-edge engineering, and luxurious craftsmanship.

Designed for audiophiles and casual listeners alike, the 105 AER delivers a lush sonic experience that redefines versatility and comfort.

The Art of Connection

In the words of the Meze team, 105 AER is an invitation to connect deeply with your music. Inspired by bio-architecture and nature’s balance, it offers tonal equilibrium that makes every note sing. From symphonic masterpieces to electronic beats, this headphone is built to adapt seamlessly to all genres, creating a space to listen, reflect, and enjoy.

Premium Meets Lightweight

Meze has crafted the 105 AER with beautifully crafted, yet long-lasting materials:

• Cast zinc alloy hardware with a PVD coating for durability.
• Velour earpads for all-day comfort and breathability.
• ABS-PC ear cups that ensure resilience without compromising aesthetics.

Weighing just 336 grams, the 105 AER is Meze’s lightest open-back model yet, making it a perfect companion for extended listening sessions.

Driver Design

The 50 mm dynamic driver in the 105 AER has proven to be remarkably reliable and versatile. Its innovative components include:

1. W-Shaped Dome

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.

• Ultra-Thin Thorus

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.

• Copper-zinc stabilizer

The copper-zinc alloy stabilizer, positioned around the membrane, improves the absorption of vibrations to further reduce distortion.

This combination of innovative features delivers a lush, warm audio signature with a slight emphasis on bass and sub-bass, making it a joy to experience across devices, from portable players to sophisticated home setups.

Sustainability That Lasts

Meze’s commitment to sustainability shines through the 105 AER. Designed with a focus on longevity, each part can be changed or serviced indefinitely, reducing environmental impact and ensuring your headphones stand the test of time.
