Meze Audio 105 Aer

Bring the outside in

Rich-sounding and versatile, 105 AER was created for those who value a deeper connection to their music - an adaptable open-back headphone, perfectly suited for all musical genres. Inspired by bio-architecture and Nature’s balancing act, 105 AER stands at the peak point of tonal equilibrium.

Driver design

Our 50 mm dynamic driver architecture has proven to be remarkably reliable and versatile. To keep 105 AER as accessible as possible, the driver membrane and frame underwent slight modifications. We took this opportunity to introduce a unique new headphone voicing that fits all musical genres.

W-shaped dome

Made of a carbon fiber-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.

Ultra-thin torus

The torus surrounding the dome is made of PEEK (Polyether Ether Ketone), a semicrystalline polymer with excellent mechanical properties. PEEK’s high tensile strength and stiffness ensure the driver membrane maintains structural integrity under high stress, while its lightweight nature allows for quicker movement in response to audio signals. This enhances clarity and detail, making every note and nuance in your music come alive. Additionally, PEEK boasts superior internal damping characteristics, which reduce unwanted resonances and vibrations.

Stiffness and durability are also enhanced through the grooves on the torus, which are precisely positioned at a 45.5° angle.

Stabilized

The copper-zinc alloy stabilizer, positioned around the membrane, improves the absorption of vibrations to further reduce distortion.

Lush sound

Tuned by one of our talented acoustic engineers, 105 AER delivers an exceptionally lush audio presentation. The sound is rich and refined, with a warm and full-bodied quality that envelops you. A slight emphasis on the bass and sub-bass regions allows for a deeper, more resonant foundation, enhancing the overall sense of immersion and adding a satisfying depth to your music. Besides, it’s easy to drive from most devices, whether we’re talking portable sources or intricate home setups.

Soft ear pads

Velour cushions comfortably surround the ears, providing the optimal seal to create natural sound. Since velour is far softer and more breathable than leather, it also prevents sweat and overheating during lengthy listening sessions.

All-day listening

The self-adjusting headband spreads the weight out to deliver even pressure for any head shape and size.
