The Meze Audio 105 AER are a fine pair of headphones and well worth the asking price.
And in pretty much every respect, theres no arguing with the way they sound either.
Some of thebest wired headphonesmoney can buy then?
Oh certainly, if you’ll accept their open-backed nature.
Will the bid win them over?
It depends wireless audio has, and will always have, its perks.
The feature here is a 50mm full-range dynamic driver or, more correctly, two of them.
The W-shaped dome is made of a carbon-fibre/cellulose composite.
The torus the ring that surrounds the dome is made of semicrystalline polymer.
It too is light and responsive, and its impressive damping characteristics keep vibrations and resonances to a minimum.
Finally, theres a copper/zinc alloy stabiliser around the outside of the membrane to further reduce distortion.
So while the 105 AER are light on features, they are demonstrably fit for purpose.
The Meze Audio 105 AER are one open-backed model that validate this theory.
Detail levels are high across the board.
They offer convincing rhythmic expression and a naturalistic way with tempo management.
The detachable ear pads are of velour-covered memory foam.
They feel nice, sit comfortably without warming your head too quickly, and can easily be cleaned.
The outer part of the earcups is an interestingly organic design and made from ABS-PC thermoplastic.
The result is Meze Audios lightest over-ear headphone to date a very manageable 336g.
Theres also a 6.3mm adapter included.
Should I buy the Meze Audio 105 AER?
It’s very generous (possibly a tad too generous for smaller heads?)
