The Romanian company Meze Audio is regarded as a true specialist in high-quality headphones, as a provider of solutions that offer a fine sound, high-quality materials and a high level of comfort. This also applies to the company’s latest model, the new Meze 105 AER Dynamic Open-back Circumaural Headphone.
The new Meze 105 AER Dynamic Open-back Circumaural Headphone is designed for true music lovers, regardless of their favourite genre. The new Meze 105 AER Dynamic Open-back Circumaural Headphone always offers a captivating listening experience, is made solely from high-quality materials for maximum robustness and can guarantee comfortable use in a proven manner.
For a direct connection to the music
The new Meze 105 AER has been developed to enable direct immersion in music, as the manufacturer itself describes it. The declared aim was to create headphones with a warm, full-bodied sound that almost envelops the user.
The performance should have a slight emphasis in the bass and sub-bass range and thus offer a deep foundation, which should make the overall impression more rounded and confident.
Another important point that was demanded of the developers was that the headphones should be easy to operate with a wide range of electronics in order to guarantee the greatest possible flexibility of use.
Dynamic 50 mm driver
The focus is therefore on a dynamic 50 mm driver, which is used in the new Meze 105 AER, with a dome made of carbon fibre-reinforced cellulose composite. This is said to have resulted in a cone that is immensely hard-wearing and lightweight and guarantees a high level of detail through controlled excursion and clean reproduction across a wide frequency range.
The cone surround made of PEEK (polyether ether ketone), a semi-crystalline polymer with excellent mechanical properties, also makes a significant contribution to this. The high tensile strength and rigidity of PEEK ensure that the driver diaphragm retains its structural integrity even under high loads, while its low weight enables faster movement in response to audio signals. This improves clarity and detail. In addition, PEEK has excellent internal damping properties that reduce unwanted resonances and vibrations.
According to Meze Audio, an additional copper-zinc alloy stabiliser fitted around the cone improves the absorption of vibrations, which also helps to reduce sound-damaging distortions to an absolute minimum.
Only high-quality materials
As already mentioned, all components of the new Meze 105 AER are made exclusively from high-quality materials. For example, a cast zinc alloy with PVD coating is used for the ear cups, which are designed as an open construction, and a headband made from punched manganese spring steel, ABS PC ear cups, velour ear pads and a soft PU leather headband are used.
The manufacturer also emphasises that the new Meze 105 AER is the lightest model in its class to date, which contributes significantly to the high wearing comfort.
From a purely technical point of view…
As already mentioned several times, the Meze 105 AER is an open over-ear headphone with a 50 mm diaphragm, which ensures that it can reproduce a frequency range between 5 Hz and 30 kHz, with a sensitivity of a remarkable 112 dB and an impedance of just 42 ohms.

The new Meze 105 AER is now available from specialist retailers, with the manufacturer quoting a price of € 399,- for this solution. The scope of delivery includes a cable with a 3.5 mm stereo mini jack to two 3,5 mm mono jacks, an adapter to a 5,3 mm stereo jack and a suitable hard case for safe transport.
