The Audeze MM-500 is an open-back planar magnetic reference headphone designed in collaboration with 11-time Grammy Award-winning mixer Manny Marroquin, purpose-built for professional mixing. Conceived and refined in one of the world's most acclaimed studios, the MM-500 is a purpose-built tool designed to deliver mixes that consistently translate and capture the emotion the artist intended. It was famously the headphone used to mix Kendrick Lamar's #1 album "Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers" at Larrabee Studios. Lighter than the famous LCD-X and built on the same chassis and earpad design as the flagship LCD-5, its sleek and sturdy chassis offers all-day comfort while delivering the most transparent, revealing, and precise sound in its class.
Key elements of its design:
- 90 mm Planar Magnetic Drivers The MM-500 uses the same 90 mm diameter planar magnetic transducer size as Audeze's flagship LCD-5, delivering lightning-fast transients, accurate frequency response, and trusted mix translation. This highly efficient driver is a mix of the old and new, tuned specifically for studio work.
- Patented Audeze Technologies It employs Audeze's patented technologies including Ultra-Thin Uniforce diaphragms, Fazor waveguides, and Fluxor Neodymium N50 magnet arrays. Together these allowed Audeze to make the MM-500 slightly smaller than previous models without sacrificing performance.
- Reference-Flat Tuning Designed with the modern creator and audio professional in mind, Audeze's objective was to create a trusted monitoring tool with a flat frequency response that allows mixes to translate accurately on a consistent basis — showing exactly when a track is sharp, muddy, or lacking dynamics.
- Easy to Drive A vanishingly low 18Ω impedance and moderate 100 dB/1mW sensitivity make the MM-500 easy to drive — it doesn't require a powerful desktop amplifier to reach its full potential, a major benefit for both studio and mobile applications.
- Lightweight, Durable Chassis Just like Audeze's flagship headphones, the MM-500 is hand-crafted in their Southern California workshop, featuring a durable, lightweight chassis of machined aluminum and spring steel, with extra-plush premium leather earpads for long-session comfort.
- Studio-Ready Package Compatible with virtually all audio interfaces or consoles, it ships in a durable, lockable travel case with a braided mini-XLR to ¼-inch cable.
Reviewers have been effusive. postPerspective called them some of the cleanest and truly most natural-sounding headphones the reviewer had ever used, noting the specs punch way above their weight class, while Gearspace described them as the most transparent, revealing, and precise headphone the reviewer had ever heard, and a clear and accurate referencing tool that sounds defined and balanced.
