Initial Use (Burn-in)
For optimal performance, it is recommended to allow the headphones at least 40 hours of 'burn-in' time. This process helps to loosen the diaphragm and driver, enhancing sound quality over time.
4. Operating Instructions
Audio Playback
Connect the 3.5mm jack (or 6.3mm adapter) to your audio source. The headphones have a low impedance of 42 Ohms and a sensitivity of 112 dB, making them easy to drive with most devices, including cellphones, desktops, gaming consoles, and laptops. For enhanced audio quality, consider using a dedicated headphone amplifier.
Volume Control
Adjust the volume using the control on your connected audio device. The headphones themselves feature a volume control on the cable for convenient adjustments.
Open-Back Design Characteristics
The open-back design provides a natural and spacious soundstage, offering an immersive listening experience. Be aware that this design allows some sound to leak out and also lets ambient sound in, which is characteristic of open-back headphones.
5. Maintenance
Cleaning
Gently wipe the earcups and headband with a soft, dry cloth. For the velour ear pads, a lint roller or a slightly damp cloth can be used for cleaning. Avoid harsh chemicals.
Storage
When not in use, store the headphones in the provided hard EVA carrying pouch to protect them from dust and physical damage.
Durability and Repair
The MEZE AUDIO 105 AER headphones are designed for longevity with a modular construction. Every component, including ear cups, headband, cables, and drivers, is replaceable. This design allows for easy repairs and extends the lifespan of your headphones.

- Verify that the audio source is playing and not muted.
Distorted Sound
- Check the audio source for any issues.
- Ensure the cable is not damaged.
- Try connecting the headphones to a different audio source to isolate the problem.
Discomfort During Wear
- Ensure the self-adjusting headband is properly seated.
