Meze Audio 105 AER Open Back Headphones

Immersive Open-Back Soundstage – The open-back acoustic design allows air and sound to move freely, creating a spacious and natural listening experience. This wider soundstage improves instrument separation and positioning, making recordings feel more lifelike and immersive compared to typical closed-back headphones. Advanced 50mm Dynamic Driver Technology – Featuring a large 50mm dynamic driver, the 105 AER delivers impressive detail retrieval, dynamic range, and clarity. The carefully engineered driver provides a powerful yet controlled bass response while maintaining natural midrange tonality and refined treble extension. Carbon Fibre Reinforced Composite Dome – The driver dome is constructed from a carbon fibre-reinforced cellulose composite, offering exceptional rigidity while remaining lightweight. This design minimises unwanted resonances and distortion while reproducing high frequencies with greater precision and detail. PEEK Torus for Enhanced Precision – Surrounding the driver dome is an ultra-thin torus made from PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone), a high-performance polymer known for its strength and stability. This material improves driver control and responsiveness, allowing faster movement and improved micro-detail in complex musical passages. Rich, Lush Sound Signature – Expertly tuned to deliver a warm and engaging presentation, the 105 AER features a slightly emphasised bass and sub-bass response that adds depth and impact while preserving clarity across the entire frequency range. The result is a versatile sound profile suited to all musical genres. Lightweight Premium Construction – Built using cast zinc alloy hardware with durable coatings, a spring steel headband, and high-quality PC-ABS ear cups, the 105 AER combines durability with comfort. At just 336g, it remains lightweight enough for extended listening sessions. Breathable Velour Ear Pads – Soft velour ear cushions surround the ears comfortably while allowing airflow that reduces heat build-up. This breathable design helps prevent discomfort during long listening sessions while maintaining optimal acoustic performance. Self-Adjusting Headband for All-Day Comfort – The suspension headband automatically adjusts to your head shape, distributing weight evenly and eliminating pressure points. This ergonomic design ensures a secure and comfortable fit without constant adjustment. Easy to Drive with Most Devices – With a sensitivity of 112 dB and a 42Ω impedance, the 105 AER performs well with a wide range of sources including portable players, smartphones with DAC adapters, and dedicated home audio equipment. Fully Serviceable Sustainable Design – Built to last, every component of the 105 AER can be replaced or serviced if necessary. From ear pads and cables to drivers and headband components, this modular design extends product lifespan and reduces waste.
