AudezeMM-100 Professional Open-Back Headphones, Planar Magentic, Wired

Ok let me start by saying I’m listening to music as I write this review.. These are studio tuned so out of the box they sound very good but with EQ sound incredible for music listening and not just for mixing/ mastering. I have owned LCD3’s in the past but eventually sold them because of their darker upper treble. I loved the soundstage and bass but to my ears they lacked life. Enter the much lower priced MM100. I did a lot of research about their strengths and weaknesses and studied their frequency response graph. What I saw were several easy fixes. These now go head to head with my Sennheiser HD 800 cans. Super fast and resolving, no distortion after EQ with deep articulate bass and smooth highs. The midrange was always good but now even better. In my opinion outside of soundstage size I prefer them to the much pricier LCD3. Yes the only caveat is a very average sized soundstage compared to over $1000.00 open backs however the sound signature punches WAY ABOVE their price. They can sound great with almost all music genres. I think you can tell I highly recommend the MM100 with EQ.. would still consider them without given their technical merits.Anyone interested in my settings just ask.

These are OUTSTANDING HEADPHONES! Especially for mixing music. The sound stage is unbelievable accurate. I can highly recommend buying these headphones. And yes very comfortable to wear.

The sound from these is fine and the overall build quality of the cans is good.the headband is trash it is rigid and does not conform to your head. the stock cable is trash super thin and long cable with a quarter inch end. i have not decided if I am replacing the pads yet. audeze claims it is real leather pads. it feels like vegan leather to me. i have lcd 2's with real leather and it feels nothing like them and my ears get hot wearing the mm-100's. in addition I have wide ears. my ears touch the mesh inside the cup that covers the driver. it is not a big deal but it does rub with extended use. generally these are a good set of cans but ,for the price they are. needing a new strap, cable, and pads to make them comfortable/usable, makes them a questionable choice.

Worst over ear headphones I’ve ever tried. I’ve always wanted an Audeze headphone. I ordered these and they were all I thought about. I got the box, popped it open… not bad. I dislike the headband. You can’t adjust it very much. Headphones that are way cheaper do that much better. It resembles the Maxwell which is a gamer set. Thumbs down. They were a bit heavy, but not in an uncomfortable way, but that circular A grill is incredible. It looks so smooth and modern. It’s definitely an Audeze in terms of looks. That tan/grey finish is unforgettable as well. They seem built well enough to take falls, they worked just fine, and the cord was a decent length for most people. Speaking of, Audeze always has the dual channel cups with that sick wire they ship with their more expensive variants. This one has dual 3.5 mm inputs for the headphones, but you only plug the cable in one side? You mean I can’t use a balanced cable with this one? Who thought that was a good idea? Who hurt you? Just give me my dual inputs man! I like that. Why design it to be plugged in on either side? This really triggered me. So I got over it and plugged it in my dac and boy the sound…I couldn’t wait to try the famous Audeze house bass. It’s not here. What about the crisp airy tonality that planars are known for? Not here. Eq makes it shouty, or dull. There is no in between. It’s very mid forward but in the dullest way possible. It’s the only time I received a pair of cans, and put in to return them the same day. 8 hours was spent getting no tone whatsoever. It was a bad experience from a brand I’d always wanted. I’m hesitant to give them a try again in the future. At this price you have sooooo many better options. I would never even think about thinking of recommending this one. Simply dreadful. I’d rather listen to cheese. The cups look awesome. That’s it. Bad Audeze, bad.

Really good headphones, but just EQ them to oratory1990's settings on HeadFi and you will be amazed.Stock tuning is definitely garbage out of the box if youre listening to music. Editing idk but I heard these were good for mixing and mastering. Definitely EQ them they will sound a lot better otherwise.Other than that theyre built like tanks and its really easy to power even without a DAC. Tho I recommend one because it will bring in more detail, just find one of those cheaper DACs thats all you need.

These headphones does it all very well balanced , good bass have the lcd x and for 400 better definition and plenty of it flat set no eq Audeze ea well , the rest is perfect , the fit is comfort love the carry bag … best. Value sound grate float my boat . Use mojo 2 qedlx ,

Love the sound the bass is so big and tight .I got a great mix just hsing this and the app reveal

Awesome sound for music and gaming. Very strong material and comfortable. 1 negative it does not come with 3.5 headphones adapter so had to buy separately.
