Mix-Ready Clarity You Can Trust

Hear your work the way artists and engineers intend. Audeze’s MM-100 is an open-back, over-ear planar magnetic headphone tuned with Grammy-winning mixer Manny Marroquin to deliver studio-grade accuracy, effortless detail, and a fatigue-free fit for the longest sessions. If you’re chasing mixes that translate, or you want a neutral, revealing listen that still feels musical, the MM-100 puts pro confidence on your head.

Why Audiophiles Choose This Product

• Reference-true sound: Neutral, mix-focused tuning with tight, linear bass, articulate mids, and smooth treble. Imaging is precise and open, helping you place elements quickly and make confident EQ and balance decisions. Reviewers consistently note the MM-100’s flat response and transparent presentation.

• Planar magnetic precision: 90 mm drivers with Audeze’s Fluxor magnet array, ultra‑thin Uniforce diaphragm, and Fazor waveguides reduce distortion and maintain phase coherence for cleaner transients and low-end control.

• All‑day comfort, built to last: Gel‑filled earpads, an adjustable suspension strap, and a robust magnesium/aluminum/steel chassis keep you comfortable and focused through marathon sessions. Folds flat for travel; each pair is hand‑assembled in Southern California.

• Flexible connectivity: A single detachable cable plugs into either earcup to keep your workspace tidy. The box includes a 1/4" to 3.5 mm adapter, so you can move between interfaces, mixers, and laptops without skipping a beat.

• Thoughtful pro touches: Audeze’s unique TRRS cup connector is wired so the cable can be left or right; custom single‑ended or balanced cables are supported when pinned correctly—ideal for advanced rigs.

• Driveability: at 18 Ω/98 dB, it performs well from most audio interfaces and laptops; higher‑quality sources can still reveal more depth and control.
• Sound signature: neutral/reference with precise imaging and tight low end—excellent for critical work; leaks sound by design due to the open‑back architecture.
