Romanian headphone brand Meze Audio has an enviable reputation for making headphones with a timeless design and emotionally engaging sound. The company recently announced a new pair of high-end and open-back headphones. The new 105 Silva are due to go on sale on July 23, 2025.
The 105 SILVA have a design inspired by the Mid-Century Modern movement. Blending vintage charm with contemporary aesthetics, the headphones have an unusual radial grille that intertwines with walnut wood to form elegant ear cups with a timeless look.
Meze claims the new headphones are finely balanced between musicality and refinement, offering a smooth blend of clarity and richness. Through continuous development, the 105 Silva are designed to impart a rich and engaging sound that brings out finer details in music.
Inside the headphones are 50 mm dynamic drivers with cellulose composite domes and a titanium-covered surround that Meze says helps to produce a crisp and detailed sound profile. A titanium-coated and semicrystalline polymer torus, with copper-zinc stabilizer, provides the driver membrane with rigidity and strength. This translates into a fast transient response and textured bass with low distortion.
Meze says the 105 Silva sound signature is a new take on the company’s usual characteristics, including the technicalities of 109 PRO combined with the warmth and versatility of 105 AER. The 105 Silva focus on mid-range presentation for vocals and strings, enabling listeners to hear the liveliness and impact of music without smothering the micro details present in well-recorded tracks.
The materials used in the new headphones contribute to their overall performance. The headphones have cushioned earcups and a self-adjusting headband for ergonomic comfort. The 105 Silva are crafted for durability because components can be disassembled and replaced, boosting the longevity and sustainability of the headphones.
