About the MM500

The Audeze MM-500 is a purpose-built professional studio reference headphone conceived and refined in collaboration with world-renowned mixing engineer Manny Marroquin. Lighter than Audeze's LCD-X model, the MM-500 features a sleek aluminum chassis with spring steel headband and premium leather earpads for all-day comfort. These wired open-back headphones were used to mix Kendrick Lamar's #1 album 'Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers' at Larrabee Studios. The MM-500 delivers accurate frequency response with minimal coloration, featuring Audeze's patented planar magnetic technology including Ultra-thin Uniforce diaphragms, Fazor waveguides, and Fluxor magnet arrays. The headphones provide exceptional detail and clarity in the upper midrange with excellent instrument layering, tight bass articulation, and extended treble air. Designed for professional mixing engineers while remaining versatile enough for audiophile listening, the MM-500 offers studio-quality near-field monitor accuracy in a portable headphone format.
