While it shares some similarities with the 109 Pro, it’s important not to mistake them as the same headphone in a different finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere are meaningful differences in the materials used. The 109 Pro benefits from higher-grade components that help reduce driver resonance, resulting in a tighter, more controlled, and more detailed sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA key factor is the Beryllium-coated torus in the driver — a feature the 109 Pro has that the 105 AER does not.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat said, the 105 AER still gets impressively close to the sonic character of the 109 Pro, while delivering the same level of comfort as its bigger sibling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/8107\/1257\/files\/105AER-ls-6.jpg?v=1777934462\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-element=\"main\" data-appearance=\"default\" data-content-type=\"heading\"\u003eBRING THE OUTSIDE IN\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-pb-style=\"Y94BLHD\" data-element=\"main\" data-appearance=\"default\" data-content-type=\"text\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRich-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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/8107\/1257\/files\/105AER-ls-10.jpg?v=1777934514\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePREMIUM SENSORIAL EXPERIENCE\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBuilt with timelessness in mind, every component is made using premium materials: cast zinc alloy hardware with PVD coating, stamped manganese spring steel headband, ABS-PC ear cups, velour ear pads, and a soft PU leather headband. Combined with Meze Audio's high standards in terms of ergonomics, 105 AER is not only extremely resilient but also Meze's lightest open-back model to date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e105 AER is designed to offer a listening experience so comfortable and engaging that you'll forget you're wearing them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDRIVER DESIGN\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Meze Audio 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. Meze took this opportunity to introduce a unique new headphone voicing that fits all musical genres.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eW-Shaped Dome: \u003c\/strong\u003eMade of a carbon fiber-reinforced cellulose composite, the 105 AER driver's 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eULTRA-THIN TORUS:\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSTABILISED: \u003c\/strong\u003eThe copper-zinc alloy stabiliser, positioned around the membrane, improves the absorption of vibrations to further reduce distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/8107\/1257\/files\/105AER-exploded-1.jpg?v=1777934544\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLUSH SOUND; SPACE TO LISTEN\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTuned by one of Meze's 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVelour 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe self-adjusting headband spreads the weight out to deliver even pressure for any head shape and size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSUSTAINABLE THROUGH LONGEVITY\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs our choices of today can greatly impact the world of tomorrow, Meze Audio design products that last. Meze believes that a longer product lifespan means a smaller footprint. Following this philosophy, the 105 AER can be taken apart and serviced endlessly if needed, extending the product's life beyond limit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eTransducer Size: 50 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eFrequency Response: 5 Hz-30 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eImpedance: 42\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"s2\"\u003eΩ\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eSensitivity: 112 dB SPL at 1kHz, 1 mW\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eWeight (without cables): 336g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003eEar-Cups: PC-ABS\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Meze","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069015441561,"sku":null,"price":599.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/8107\/1257\/files\/Meze-Audio-105-AER-headphone-03.webp?v=1777934811","url":"https:\/\/www.vaf.com.au\/products\/meze-audio-105-aer-open-headphones","provider":"VAF Research","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
