Audio46's Opinion

The Meze Audio 105 AER offers an impressive introduction to open-back headphones, delivering a soundstage that is wide and immersive, albeit with limited depth and height. Its bass-leaning tonal signature creates a warm and inviting listening experience, with low-end clarity and body that are both satisfying and musical. The midrange excels in clarity and separation, allowing vocals and instruments to shine with natural reproduction and a cohesive blend. Meanwhile, the treble adds a crisp, non-fatiguing brightness that balances the darker tone of the lows, ensuring long-term listening comfort. At its price point, the 105 AER strikes a compelling balance between accessibility and performance, making it a standout choice for those seeking a refined, versatile sound signature in an entry-level open-back design.

105 AER: A LUSH SONIC OASIS

AER [aɛr] Romanian noun – AIR

Silent. Unseen. Essential. Air finds expression through invisible vibrations that become audible poetry. 105 AER is our invitation to let the air in and experience the multi-dimensional depth of music. All you have to do is listen.

A Note from the Designer

"105 AER carries a feeling of Art Deco opulence, almost like a piece of jewelry masked in a mechanical structure. Certain curves and surfaces are not obvious at first glance; there's an ambiguity to the three-dimensional shape inviting you to discover it over time."

– Paul Șteț, Senior Product Designer

Build

PREMIUM SENSORIAL EXPERIENCE

As a companion to the 109 PRO, the 105 AER is built with timelessness in mind. Every component is made using premium materials: cast zinc alloy hardware with PVD coating, stamped manganese spring steel headband, ABS-PC earcups, velour earpads, and a soft PU leather headband. Combined with our high standards in terms of ergonomics, 105 AER is a pair of headphones that is not only extremely resilient but also our lightest open-back model to date.

105 AER is designed to offer a listening experience so comfortable and engaging that you'll forget you're wearing them.

Driver

DRIVER DESIGN

Our 50 mm dynamic driver architecture has proven to be remarkably reliable and versatile. To keep 105 AER as accessible as possible, the driver membrane and frame underwent slight modifications. We took this opportunity to introduce a unique new headphone voicing that fits all musical genres.

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 TORUS

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. Additionally, PEEK boasts superior internal damping characteristics, which reduce unwanted resonances and vibrations.

Stiffness and durability are also enhanced through the grooves on the torus, which are precisely positioned at a 45.5° angle.

STABILIZED

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

SPACE TO LISTEN

We believe in creating objects as fully-defined immersive experiences. No aspect can be overlooked and every piece matters. Let 105 AER be the catalyst for a renewed musical journey - lush sounding, with a profound sense of space and clear distinction between instruments.

LUSH SOUND

Tuned by Alex Grigoras, one of our talented acoustic engineers, 105 AER delivers an exceptionally lush audio presentation. The sound is rich and refined, with a warm and full-bodied quality that envelops you. A slight emphasis on the bass and sub-bass regions allows for a deeper, more resonant foundation, enhancing the overall sense of immersion and adding a satisfying depth to your music. Besides, it’s easy to drive from most devices, whether we’re talking portable sources or intricate home setups.
