Meze 105 AER Open-Back Headphones FAQs

Are the Meze 105 AER easy to drive from a phone or laptop (do they need an amp)?

No, the 105 AER has relatively low impedance and high sensitivity, so it can be driven well from phones, laptops and portable sources. For best dynamics and headroom, a dedicated DAC/amp will help but isn’t required for everyday listening.

What kind of cable/connector do the 105 AER use and are cables replaceable?

They use a detachable dual 3.5 mm TS connection (Meze-style), and Meze sells compatible upgrade/replace cables.

How comfortable are they for long listening sessions?

The 105 AER is generally lighter and more precise in the low end with a slightly different tonal balance: the 99 Classics are often described as warmer and thicker, while the 105 tends to be more refined and controlled across bass and mids.

How do the 105 AER compare sonically to the Meze 99 Classics?

The 105 AER is generally lighter and more precise in the low end with a slightly different tonal balance: the 99 Classics are often described as warmer and thicker, while the 105 tends to be more refined and controlled across bass and mids.
