Meze Audio 105 Silva Open Back Headphones

With a 50 mm dynamic driver in stunning mid-century modern design, and warm and fun sound signature

The 105 Silva offers a smooth blend of clarity and richness. Through a combination of perfected tuning methods and carefully selected materials, it distills the essence of what makes music so divine. Fusing vintage charm with contemporary aesthetics, the radial grille sublimely intertwines with the walnut wood to form the ear cups, creating a feel that never truly ages.

The driver is made of a carbon fiber-reinforced cellulose composite, and 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 lead to harmonic distortion.

The torus surrounding the dome is made of a titanium-coated semicrystalline polymer, designed to optimize stiffness, speed, and tonal balance. The titanium coating, applied through Physical Vapor Deposition (PVD), reinforces the membrane’s structure while keeping it lightweight, ensuring a fast transient response and pleasantly textured bass.

The torus features precisely positioned grooves at a 45.5° angle, effectively controlling resonances and enabling the driver to reproduce sound with accuracy and fluidity.

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.
