Romanian high-end audio manufacturer Meze Audio has officially introduced the 105 SILVA, a striking new addition to its acclaimed headphone lineup. Known for blending timeless craftsmanship with emotionally resonant audio performance, Meze aims to once again redefine the music listening experience with this open-back dynamic headphone.
Vintage-Inspired Design Meets Modern Craftsmanship
The 105 SILVA draws visual inspiration from the Mid-Century Modern design movement, characterized by clean lines, organic materials, and understated elegance. The headphones’ ear cups combine a refined radial grille with natural walnut wood, creating a sophisticated aesthetic that merges vintage charm with contemporary sophistication. This meticulous design language ensures that the 105 SILVA feels both classic and cutting-edge — a hallmark of Meze Audio’s design philosophy.
Detailed, Engaging Sound with Technical Precision
At the heart of the 105 SILVA is a custom-engineered 50mm dynamic driver. Featuring a cellulose composite dome and a titanium-covered surround, the driver is designed for clarity, fast transient response, and richly textured bass. A titanium-coated semicrystalline polymer torus and a copper-zinc stabilizer further reinforce the driver’s membrane, minimizing distortion while enhancing musical detail and balance.
The sound signature of the 105 SILVA is a hybrid of Meze Audio’s previous highlights — combining the technical performance of the 109 PRO with the warmth and versatility of the 105 AER. The result is a smooth, midrange-focused presentation, ideal for vocals, strings, and genre-spanning audio. Whether you’re immersed in orchestral scores or intimate acoustic tracks, the 105 SILVA delivers lifelike detail and dynamic impact without sacrificing nuance.
Comfort, Longevity, and Sustainable Design
True to Meze’s ethos, the 105 SILVA is built for long-term wearability and sustainability. The headphones feature deep-cushioned earcups, a self-adjusting headband, and a lightweight chassis that prioritizes ergonomic comfort. Every component has been engineered for modular construction, making repairs and replacements simple and supporting eco-conscious use for years to come.
The Meze Audio Silva is available for $499 from Audio46.
