Engineered to highlight the emotional depth of music, it delivers a captivating listening experience without compromising on micro-details, blending warmth, clarity, and vibrancy in a wonderfully coherent sound signature.
Engaging, Natural, and Detailed Sound
Whether you're listening casually or critically, the SILVA's tuning invites you to explore the full spectrum of your music library with effortless enjoyment and nuance.
Mid-Century Modernism Inspired Aesthetics
Visually, the 105 SILVA pays homage to the timeless elegance of the Mid-Century Modern design movement. Its walnut wood earcups and radial PC-ABS grills blend vintage warmth with modern simplicity, resulting in a design that feels both familiar and sophisticated – one that transcends trends and ages gracefully.
Rooted in Nature & Heritage
Named after the Latin and Romanian word for "forest," Silva is a tribute to the ancient woodlands of Maramure? in northern Romania – Meze Audio's home. This natural inspiration is reflected in the headphone's organic tonality and tactile materials, reinforcing Meze's commitment to authenticity in both sound and form.
A Sound Signature All Its Own
While drawing sonic influences from the acclaimed 109 PRO and 105 AER, the 105 SILVA carves its own path. It offers the richness and genre versatility of the 109 PRO, paired with the clarity and articulation of the 105 AER. Beyond that, it features a more expressive mid-range, accentuating the intimacy of vocals and the natural resonance of acoustic string instruments, crafting a personal and immersive sonic character.
