Audeze MM-500 Professional Headphones

The Audeze MM-500 is a purpose-built reference headphone designed to meet the demands of modern music production—delivering the accuracy, consistency, and reliability professionals need to trust every decision.

Developed in collaboration with Grammy-winning engineer Manny Marroquin, the MM-500 is tuned for real-world studio workflows. It’s designed to translate mixes accurately across different systems, helping you work faster and with greater confidence—whether you’re tracking, mixing, or mastering.

At its core are Audeze’s advanced planar magnetic drivers, offering lightning-fast transient response, ultra-low distortion, and exceptional detail retrieval. The presentation is clean, balanced, and highly controlled, with tight, linear bass, a neutral and revealing midrange, and smooth, extended highs—allowing you to hear exactly what’s in the recording without coloration.

The open-back design enhances this precision with a natural sense of space and accurate imaging, closely resembling a well-treated studio environment. This makes it easier to place elements within a mix and evaluate depth, balance, and stereo positioning with confidence.

Compared to models like the LCD-X, the MM-500 introduces a lighter, more streamlined chassis while maintaining Audeze’s signature build quality. The all-metal construction, ergonomic design, and angled ear pads provide durability and comfort for long sessions, making it a practical tool for daily professional use.

Efficient and easy to drive for a planar headphone, the MM-500 integrates seamlessly into a wide range of studio setups—without requiring excessive amplification.
