Audeze MM-500
A planar magnetic headphone designed for mixing engineers — studio accuracy in a professional package.

Why This Is Here
The MM-500 was designed with Manny Marroquin, and the tuning shows: flat enough to mix on but musical enough to listen on. Not all planar headphones work in that space. We stock it because engineers who also listen seriously are a real audience.
Who It's For
Engineers who want to take their studio headphone home and still enjoy listening on it. Serious listeners who want planar resolution without finicky amp requirements.

A planar magnetic headphone designed for the work, not the shelf. The MM-500 was developed with mixing engineer Manny Marroquin — which means the tuning reflects actual professional use rather than audiophile consensus. Flat enough to mix on. Musical enough to listen on.
Audeze’s nano-scale planar drivers give it fast transient response and extended frequency range without the typical planar weight penalty. At 18 ohms it drives off almost any headphone amp without drama — no dedicated desktop stack required.
Why This Is Here
Not all planar headphones work in the dual-use space between studio accuracy and serious listening. This one does. If you work in audio and also listen seriously, or you want to hear what professional monitoring actually sounds like, the MM-500 earns its place on both sides of the desk.
