Meze 105 Silva Open-back Headphones

Tuned with a keen balance between musicality and refinement, the Meze 105 SILVA delivers a sound that is clear, rich, and effortlessly engaging. Transients are fast and articulate, revealing intricate details with natural ease. The treble extends gracefully—smooth yet revealing—while the bass remains tight and well-controlled. It never overpowers, but is always present when called upon, resulting in a sound signature that’s both expressive and sophisticated.

Design That Transcends Time

Rooted in the Mid-Century Modern movement, the 105 SILVA embodies the principles of clean geometry, functionality, and enduring durability. Natural and modern materials are seamlessly integrated, with vintage charm meeting contemporary form. The walnut wood ear cups are adorned with a distinctive radial grille, creating a design that never feels outdated. A spring steel headband and PVD-coated cast zinc alloy hardware complete the build, forming a robust yet flexible structure made to stand the test of time.

Precision-Engineered Driver Design

To achieve a sound signature that appeals to audiophiles and music lovers alike, we explored countless 50 mm driver iterations, experimenting with different materials and tuning techniques. The result is a highly versatile driver capable of delivering exceptional performance across a broad spectrum of musical genres. Whether you favour classical, jazz, or modern electronic music, the 105 SILVA brings your favourite tracks to life with precision and flair.

The W-Shaped Dome Advantage

At the heart of this performance is a carbon fibre-reinforced cellulose composite dome. This advanced material reproduces high frequencies with striking clarity, detail, and definition. More durable than conventional materials used in dynamic drivers—yet remarkably lightweight—it significantly reduces resonances that could otherwise lead to harmonic distortion. The result is a cleaner, more natural high-end, contributing to the headphone’s immersive sonic character.
