We've already seen the headphone jack slip into obscurity. Your smartphone doesn’t have one anymore, and your tablet has lost it. But many laptops still have one. The audio jack is, unfortunately, a dying rarity. If you have any appreciation for top-quality audio, it’s a bit of a tragedy because it makes using headphones like the Meze 105 AER just that bit more of a pain.

Of course, a pair of wired headphones isn’t for everyone, so let’s take a deep dive and find out if they’re the cans for you — and whether they’re some of the best audiophile headphones around.
