Meze Audio 105 Silva
This open-back dynamic driver headphone with walnut wood cups delivers rich, expressive midrange and natural highs in timeless Mid-Century Modern design.
Captivating All Senses
105 SILVA is our new dynamic open-back headphone, designed to breathe life into every note and redefine how we experience music.
Meticulously engineered to offer a sound signature that is both fun and detailed, 105 SILVA offers a rich, expressive midrange, articulate bass, and natural-sounding highs, delighting both the analytical ear
and the emotional soul.
Drawing inspiration from the Mid-Century Modern design movement, its walnut wood ear cups and radial PC-ABS grille come together in a timeless form, blending vintage charm with contemporary aesthetics in a way that never truly ages.
A Heritage of Craftsmanship and Innovation
The name SILVA [ˈsil.və], Romanian for “forest,” pays tribute to the ancient forests that surround us in Maramures, a scenic region in northwestern Romania. This natural inspiration is echoed in the headphone’s warm, inviting tone and organic design language.
With the 105 SILVA, we took what we learned from the 109 PRO and the 105 AER, giving it sound characteristics from both: richness and genre versatility combined with clarity and detail. However, it is not merely a
combination of both, as we’ve introduced a more expressive midrange presentation for enhanced vocal presence and a more natural-sounding representation of acoustic stringed instruments.
Features and Craftsmanship
- Dual focus sound signature: fun & detailed. You will perceive the liveliness and impact in your music, without sacrificing micro-details.
- 50 mm dynamic driver with bio-cellulose composite dome and titanium-coated semicrystalline polymer torus.
- Sophisticated design, reminiscent of the Mid-Century Modern movement – fusing vintage charm with contemporary aesthetics, the radial PC-ABS grille sublimely intertwines with the walnut wood to form the ear cups, creating a feel that never truly ages.
- 1.8 m (5.9 ft) OFC cable, featuring a dual-twisted, Kevlar-wrapped main run, soft PVC-coated left and right wires, and anthracite aluminum housings.
