FUN AND DETAILED
Tuned with a keen balance between musicality and refinement, 105 SILVA delivers a sound that is clear, rich and effortlessly engaging. Transients are fast and articulate, bringing out intricate details with a natural sense of ease. The treble extends gracefully — smooth yet revealing — while the bass remains tight and well controlled, never overpowering but always present when needed.
SIMPLY TIMELESS
Rooted in the Mid-Century Modern movement, 105 SILVA’s design follows the core principles of clean shapes, functionality and durability, while seamlessly integrating natural and modern materials in its construction. Fusing vintage charm with contemporary aesthetics, the radial grille sublimely intertwines with the walnut wood to form the ear cups, creating a feel that never truly ages. The spring steel headband and the PVD-coated cast zinc-alloy hardware link everything into an extremely sturdy yet highly flexible structure.
DRIVER DESIGN
To achieve a headphone voicing fit for serious listeners and music lovers alike, Meze developed countless 50 mm driver iterations, experimenting with different materials and tuning methods. The outcome is bound to satisfy across a very wide range of musical genres. Made of a carbon fibre-reinforced cellulose composite, the dome can reproduce high frequencies with incredible detail, clarity and definition. More durable than conventional alternatives used in dynamic drivers, yet lightweight, this composite helps reduce resonances that may lead to harmonic distortion.
The torus surrounding the dome is composed of a titanium-coated semicrystalline polymer, designed to optimise stiffness, speed and tonal balance. The titanium coating, applied through Physical Vapour Deposition (PVD), reinforces the membrane’s structure while keeping it lightweight, ensuring a fast transient response and pleasantly textured bass. The torus features precisely positioned grooves at a 45.5° angle, effectively controlling resonances and enabling the driver to reproduce sound with accuracy and fluidity. Finally, the copper-zinc alloy stabiliser, positioned around the membrane, improves absorption of vibrations to further reduce distortion.
ACCESSORISED
The 105 SILVA comes with a new 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 aluminium housings — built for durability, flexibility and a tangle-free experience. Alongside it, a custom 3.5 mm to USB-C adapter with an integrated DAC/AMP expands usability with mobile devices while maintaining high-resolution playback on the go.
