Description
The Meze Audio 105 Silva is an open-back headphone crafted for listeners who want rich, balanced sound without sacrificing comfort during long sessions. Walnut wood ear cups paired with a black radial grille give each pair a distinct Mid-Century Modern presence that ages gracefully. Inside, a 50 mm dynamic driver pairs a carbon fiber-reinforced cellulose composite W-shaped dome with a titanium-coated semicrystalline polymer torus and a copper-zinc alloy stabilizer — a trio of materials tuned for fast transients, detailed highs, and textured bass. The 42 Ω impedance and 112 dB/mW sensitivity mean these pull easily from desktop amps, portable DACs, or the included USB-C to 3.5 mm adapter with integrated DAC/AMP. A dual-twisted, Kevlar-wrapped OFC cable with dual 3.5 mm inputs keeps connections flexible, while the spring steel headband with self-adjusting PU leather strap and breathable velour cushions distribute weight evenly across any head shape. Reviewers at HiFi Pig describe the 105 Silva as delivering a balanced, engaging presentation with an expressive midrange and excellent instrument separation — a warm, detailed companion for jazz, classical, acoustic, and modern pop alike.
