MEZE AUDIO 105 SILVA – IMMERSE YOURSELF IN THE NUANCES

Meze 105 SILVA was developed as a tribute to the musical experience in its most organic form. Tuned to balance refined detail retrieval with a lively, engaging personality, SILVA delivers a sound that is both revealing and immediately musical. It is a headphone that invites you to immerse yourself in the nuances while preserving a sense of playful energy and rhythmic drive.

The design is inspired by the mid-century modern tradition, where function, aesthetics, and materials merge into a timeless expression. The combination of walnut wood, powder-coated hardware, and elegant geometric shapes makes 105 SILVA a headphone that not only sounds fantastic, but is also a visual object with character and warmth.

A SOUND SIGNATURE WITH BOTH SOUL AND PRECISION

105 SILVA is tuned to hit a point where technical finesse meets emotional engagement. The tonal balance sits in the tension field between warmth and clarity: vocals come across as present and full-bodied, the treble unfolds with a smooth and airy character, while the bass range is tight and well-controlled without dominating. The fast, articulate transients make complex recordings easy to follow, and the separation between instruments creates an open, organic soundstage where the music feels alive.

All of this makes SILVA both versatile across genres and well suited to long listening sessions—a headphone created for those who want to enjoy the details of music without losing its soul.

A TIMELESS DESIGN, SHAPED BY NATURAL MATERIALS 

With its roots in mid-century modern aesthetics, 105 SILVA combines the warm glow of solid walnut wood with modern industrial materials. The radial grille blends seamlessly with the wood and highlights the depth of the craftsmanship. At the same time, the manganese steel headband provides flexibility and strength, while the brackets in PVD-coated zinc alloy support the whole with a subtle metallic finish.

SILVA does not appear as an anonymous piece of technology, but as a piece of design that signals calm, nature, and mature elegance.

A DRIVER DEVELOPED FOR BOTH MUSICALITY AND RESOLUTION

Inside, 105 SILVA is equipped with a specially developed 50 mm dynamic driver, where every part is optimized for both precision and musicality. The W-shaped dome in carbon-fiber-reinforced cellulose delivers high-frequency clarity without harshness, while the torus, which is titanium-coated via PVD, adds rigidity and speed without unnecessarily increasing mass.

The combination results in a driver that is fast in the transients, tonally balanced, and equipped with the texture and warmth that many listeners associate with Meze's dynamic headphones. A copper-zinc stabilizer around the diaphragm absorbs micro-vibrations and minimizes distortion, so the music appears cleaner and more natural.

COMFORT DESIGNED FOR ALL-DAY LISTENING

SILVA follows Meze's ergonomic philosophy, where every contact surface and every curve is created to support the listener without drawing attention to itself. The self-adjusting PU leather headband distributes weight evenly and adapts to the shape of the head automatically, and the velour pads surround the ears softly and breathably.

Velour has been chosen because it maintains a stable acoustic environment without creating heat buildup or discomfort. This makes SILVA especially well suited to both relaxed listening sessions and deep music immersion for hours at a time.

A COMPANION FOR BOTH HOME AND MOBILE USE

105 SILVA comes with a 1.8 m OFC cable that combines Kevlar reinforcement, flexibility, and durability. This provides a cable solution that is both mechanically robust and electrically clean. Together with the USB-C DAC/AMP adapter, SILVA enables high-resolution sound directly from modern phones and portable devices—without compromising on quality.

This flexibility makes SILVA a headphone that is equally suited to stationary setups and mobile everyday listening.

BUILT FOR LONG-TERM USE

Meze works according to a philosophy that prioritizes long-term use over frequent replacement. That is why 105 SILVA is fully serviceable and can be disassembled and repaired if necessary. All essential parts can be replaced, which increases the product's lifespan and reduces its environmental footprint.

It is an approach that ensures SILVA can accompany its owner for many years and continue to develop patina and character—not wear.

A PLACE WHERE MUSIC FEELS ALIVE

Meze 105 SILVA is a headphone that combines aesthetics, craftsmanship, and audio engineering in a harmonious whole. It conveys music with both warmth and transparency and creates a space where sound feels like a living organism. It is a headphone you return to for its balance, its authenticity, and its ability to create a calm, natural musical sanctuary.
