Accessible Open-Back Headphones

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

The Meze Audio 105 AER Headphones are Arriving for $399

— November 19, 2024 — Tech
The Meze Audio 105 AER headphones have been announced by the brand as a new option for consumers to pick up that prioritizes high-quality audio experiences, but also accessibility from a price perspective.

The headphones are priced at $399 to position them as a much lower cost option than the brand's other solutions in its lineup. This doesn't come at the cost of quality or performance thanks to cast zinc alloy along with stamped manganese spring steel and polyurethane used in the construction. The headphones also boast 50mm dynamic drivers that are rated to effectively play music of any genre with a keen attention to precision.

The Meze Audio 105 AER headphones maintain an open-back design and even feature a modular design to maximize versatility.
